download-collection

Download the content from a list of urls automatically.

How to : as a dependency

var download = require('download-collection');
download([ 'http://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7585/16171080784_3d3a169714_h.jpg' ]);

Options

download() takes 2 parameters :

• an array of urls (strings)
• an optional configuration object :

download(links, {
    rename: 'image-{counter}.jpg'
    baseUrl: 'http://www.mypic.com/'
});

• rename: you can provide a name and {counter} will be automatically increased for each file.
• baseUrl: prefix for the urls to use if you don't specify it in the array of urls

How to : as a command

By default, the app reads stdin and downloads the content from the provided urls (one line = one url).

$ cat urls | node app.js
  download-collection http://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7585/16171080784_3d3a169714_h.jpg +0ms into 16171080784_3d3a169714_h.jpg image/jpeg

If you installed it globally node install -g download-collection, you can simplify do

$ cat urls | download-collection
