Motivation

I collected URLs to download in browser, but I noticed that it's impossible to download them without copy-pasting. Copy-pasting was quite inconvenient because each page contained dynamic list of URLs. To resolve this problem I decided to send this list via request to local endpoint.

Unfortunately I haven't found such packages in NPM which allows to do it. Due to this reason I decided to create mine.

How to use?

  1. Install this package globally

    npm i -g ajax-file-loader
  2. Start it in folder where you want to store downloaded files

    ajax-file-loader

    This action will open new Express server on port 3035.

    Notice: you can use your own port using AFL_PORT env var

    export AFL_PORT=4205

    Hint: you can start package using alias afl. You also can setup package port only for current run

    AFL_PORT=4205 afl
  3. When you have a running server, you need to send request with URLs to download.

    Request must be in the next format

    curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:3035' \
    --header 'content-type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{"chunkName":"folder-to-save","files":["https://site.domain/file.to.download"]}'

    Or same from browser

    fetch('http://localhost:3035', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body:
        JSON.stringify({
          chunkName:"folder-to-save",
          files:["https://site.domain/file.to.download"]
        })
    })

I hope it's enough
