The file.download
function in Node.js is a powerful feature that allows programmers to download files from a server using JavaScript. This feature is commonly used in web applications where users need to download files such as images, documents, or media files.
const http = require('http');
const fs = require('fs');
const fileUrl = 'http://example.com/file.jpg';
const savePath = './downloads/file.jpg';
const fileDownload = (url, path) => {
http.get(url, (response) => {
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(path);
response.pipe(fileStream);
fileStream.on('finish', () => {
fileStream.close();
console.log('File downloaded successfully.');
});
} else {
console.error('Unable to download the file. HTTP status code: ', response.statusCode);
}
}).on('error', (error) => {
console.error('Error occurred while downloading the file:', error.message);
});
};
fileDownload(fileUrl, savePath);
http
and fs
, which are part of the Node.js core modules. The http
module is used to make HTTP requests, and the fs
module is used to create a write stream and save the downloaded file.fileUrl
variable, which contains the URL of the file to be downloaded. This should be replaced with the actual file URL.savePath
variable, which contains the path where the downloaded file will be saved. This should be replaced with the desired file path and name.fileDownload
function is defined, which takes the url
and path
as parameters.http.get
method to send a GET request to the specified URL.fs.createWriteStream
and pass the path
as the destination file path.response.pipe(fileStream)
. This will write the response data to the file.finish
event of the file stream and close it once the download is complete. We also log a success message. If there are any errors, we handle them appropriately.The file.download
function in Node.js allows you to easily download files from a server using JavaScript. By understanding and utilizing this feature, programmers can enhance the file downloading capabilities of their web applications.
