Cordova-plugin-downloader NPM

cordova-plugin-downloader

Cordova plugin to download, store and unzip files with no cordova-file-transfer dependency. cordova-file-transfer was recently depreciated.

Inspired by cordova-plugin-fastrde-downloader but with less features.

Compatibility

iOS 10+
Cordova 5.0+

Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-downloader

This will also install cordova-plugin-file and cordova-plugin-zip if not already installed.

Basic Usage

var dl = new download();

dl.Initialize({
    fileSystem : cordova.file.dataDirectory,
    folder: "code",
    unzip: true,
    remove: true,
    timeout: 0,
    success: DownloaderSuccess,
    error: DownloaderError,
    headers: [
        {
            Key: 'Authorization',
            Value: 'Basic ' + btoa(token)
        }
    ]
});


dl.Get("https://www.yourdomain.com/somezipfile.zip");

function DownloaderError(err) {
    console.log("download error: " + err);
    alert("download error: " + err);
}

function DownloaderSuccess() {
    console.log("yay!");
}

Troubleshooting

Chrome / Safari debugging reveals many basic problems but if this isn't sufficient suggest adb logcat for Android and Xcode Window->Devices and Simulators for iOS. Example Android with filter for app com.yourco.yourapp:

macOS / Linux:

adb logcat | grep `adb shell ps | grep com.yourco.yourapp | cut -c10-15`

Windows (assumes you have grep somewhere in your Windows path):

for /F %i in ('adb shell "ps|grep com.yourco.yourapp|cut -c10-15"') do set ANPID=%i&adb logcat|grep %ANPID%

...where com.yourco.yourapp is your App's package name.
