Package Exports

async-get-file

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (async-get-file) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

async-get-file : Download files with Promise (Node.js)

npm npm NPM

This package is a wrapper around the download-file package replacing callback functions with functions that return a Promise.

Basically it lets you write code like this

await get(url,options);
console.log("Success");

instead of

get(url, options, err => {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("Success");
})

Installation

Basic Usage

const async = require("async");
const get = require("async-get-file");

async function main(){
  var url = "http://i.imgur.com/G9bDaPH.jpg";
  var options = {
    directory: "./images/cats/",
    filename: "cat.gif"
  }
  await get(url,options);
}

main();

const Promise = require("promise");
const get = require("async-get-file");

var url = "http://i.imgur.com/G9bDaPH.jpg";
var options = {
  directory: "./images/cats/",
  filename: "cat.gif"
  }

get(url,options)
.catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
      });
