customDir
Example:
import { download } from '@electron/get';
const zipFilePath = await download('4.0.4', {
mirrorOptions: {
mirror: 'https://mirror.example.com/electron/',
customDir: 'custom',
customFilename: 'unofficial-electron-linux.zip'
}
});
// Will download from https://mirror.example.com/electron/custom/unofficial-electron-linux.zip
const nightlyZipFilePath = await download('8.0.0-nightly.20190901', {
mirrorOptions: {
nightlyMirror: 'https://nightly.example.com/',
customDir: 'nightlies',
customFilename: 'nightly-linux.zip'
}
});
// Will download from https://nightly.example.com/nightlies/nightly-linux.zip
customDir
can have the placeholder {{ version }}
, which will be replaced by the version
specified (without the leading v
). For example:
const zipFilePath = await download('4.0.4', {
mirrorOptions: {
mirror: 'https://mirror.example.com/electron/',
customDir: 'version-{{ version }}',
platform: 'linux',
arch: 'x64'
}
});
// Will download from https://mirror.example.com/electron/version-4.0.4/electron-v4.0.4-linux-x64.zip
Mirror options can also be specified via the following environment variables:
ELECTRON_CUSTOM_DIR
- Specifies the custom directory to download from.ELECTRON_CUSTOM_FILENAME
- Specifies the custom file name to download.ELECTRON_MIRROR
- Specifies the URL of the server to download from if the version is not a nightly version.ELECTRON_NIGHTLY_MIRROR
- Specifies the URL of the server to download from if the version is a nightly version.The version downloaded can be overriden by setting the ELECTRON_CUSTOM_VERSION
environment variable.
Setting this environment variable will override the version passed in to download
or downloadArtifact
.
This module downloads Electron to a known place on your system and caches it so that future requests for that asset can be returned instantly. The cache locations are:
$XDG_CACHE_HOME
or ~/.cache/electron/
~/Library/Caches/electron/
%LOCALAPPDATA%/electron/Cache
or ~/AppData/Local/electron/Cache/
By default, the module uses got
as the
downloader. As a result, you can use the same options
via downloadOptions
.
By default, a progress bar is shown when downloading an artifact for more than 30 seconds. To
disable, set the ELECTRON_GET_NO_PROGRESS
environment variable to any non-empty value, or set
quiet
to true
in downloadOptions
. If you need to monitor progress yourself via the API, set
getProgressCallback
in downloadOptions
, which has the same function signature as got
's
downloadProgress
event callback.
Downstream packages should utilize the initializeProxy
function to add HTTP(S) proxy support. If
the environment variable ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY
is set, it is called automatically.
