electron-dl

Simplified file downloads for your Electron app

Why?

• One function call instead of having to manually implement a lot of boilerplate.
• Saves the file to the users downloads directory instead of prompting.
• Shows download progress. Example on OS X:

Install

$ npm install --save electron-dl

Usage

const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron');

require('electron-dl')();

let win;

app.on('ready', () => {
	win = new BrowserWindow({});
});
