potato_dm

Basic download manager for node.js, with automatic pause/resume

Install

yarn: yarn add https://github.com/daroxs95/potato_dm

npm: npm install https://github.com/daroxs95/potato_dm

How to use

I strongly encourage using one downloader manager(PotatoDM instance) for every file to download:

Importing module:

import PotatoDM from 'potato_dm'

or

var PotatoDM = require('potato_dm')

or

import pkg from 'potato_dm'
const { PotatoDM } = pkg

that last is the recommended way.

Use:

const my_dm = new PotatoDM.PotatoDM('https://potatobite.github.com/assets/quotes.txt', "./downloads/text/");

my_dm.on('end', () => {
    console.log("finished");
});

my_dm.on('data_chunk', (progress) => {
    process.stdout.write(`\rProgress: ${progress}%`);
})

my_dm._try_download();

Future

In the future we are creating a deno module with no use of node modules("std api"), only "deno std" , and making the downloader manager(PotatoDM instance) handle multiple downloads.

I started it as a ESmodule, but downgraded it for compatibility with NW.js, i have planning to release it supporting both standards but I'm not there yet.
