Multiple dynamic downloads

[daljit97]

Hi @larpon, I just came across this project and was wondering something. So in my application the user needs to download multiple files: the user clicks a button and the download starts, the user clicks the button again and a new download starts again (up to 15 times). Now would this be possible with your plugin? I see that you need instantiate a Download class in QML for each download, but how can I dynamically generate a Download each time I need it? Something like

Button{
    function downloadSomething(url)
    {
    // how to create a Download dynamically???
    }
    id: button
    onClicked: downloadSomethingNew(webview.url)
}

Hi @daljit97 - nice if you can find use for this project 🙂

One solution would be to create Download elements on the fly with dynamic object creation.

Maybe wrap the functionality up in a DownloadManager QML type that connects to each new download's signals and keep internal track of who's done etc.

That's one way to do it 🤔🙂

@larpon yeah I thought about using components as well. Your idea about constructing a DownloadManager seems nice although I need to check how long will that take. Thanks a lot for your input.

No problem 🙂 Happy coding!
