NodeJS API

class PullProgress {
    constructor(progress: IStreamProgress, onProgress: PullProgressCallback);

    startPull(): Promise<void>;
}

class CLIPullProgress {
    constructor(progress: IStreamProgress, name: string);

    startPull(): Promise<void>;
}

interface IStreamProgress {
    init(): Promise<void>;

    progress(callback: (progressBytes: number, totalBytes: number) => void): Promise<any>;
}


class FastDownload implements IStreamProgress {
    constructor(url: string, savePath: string, options?: TurboDownloaderOptions);

    static async fetchFilename(url: string);
}

class CopyProgress implements IStreamProgress {
    constructor(fromPath: string, toPath: string);
}

Example:

import {FastDownload, CLIPullProgress} from 'ipull';

const download = new FastDownload('http://example.com/file.txt', './file.txt');
await download.init();

const progress = new CLIPullProgress(download, 'file.txt');
await progress.startPull();

Browser support

You can also use IPull without the CLI, just for download metadata

import PullProgress from 'ipull/pull-progress.js';

const pull = new PullProgress(download, (info) => {
    console.log(info.speed);
});

pull.startPull();

• Make sure you import the exact file when using, so Node.js only modules will not be imported
