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

npm install --save async-get-file
Or
Install via package.json:
Add the following to your package.json file under dependencies
