Downloading files

This feature allows you to download files from a given URL and save them to a specified directory. The function returns a promise that resolves when the download is complete.

const download = require('download');

download('https://example.com/somefile.png', 'dist').then(() => {
    console.log('File downloaded!');
});

Downloading and extracting archives

This feature enables the downloading of archive files like ZIP or TAR and automatically extracts them to a specified directory.

const download = require('download');

download('https://example.com/somearchive.zip', 'dist', { extract: true }).then(() => {
    console.log('Archive downloaded and extracted!');
});

Downloading files with options

This feature allows you to pass custom options such as headers, query parameters, and more, providing additional control over the HTTP request.

const download = require('download');

const options = {
    headers: { 'User-Agent': 'my-custom-agent' }
};

download('https://example.com/somefile.png', 'dist', options).then(() => {
    console.log('File downloaded with custom headers!');
});
