|
|
|
||
|
|
Downloads an Electron release zip from GitHub.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Used by [electron-prebuilt](https://npmjs.org/electron-prebuilt) and [electron-packager](https://npmjs.org/electron-packager)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
$ npm install --global electron-download
|
||
|
|
$ electron-download --version=0.31.1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var download = require('electron-download')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
download({
|
||
|
|
version: '0.25.1',
|
||
|
|
arch: 'ia32',
|
||
|
|
platform: 'win32',
|
||
|
|
cache: './zips' // defaults to <user's home directory>/.electron
|
||
|
|
}, function (err, zipPath) {
|
||
|
|
// zipPath will be the path of the zip that it downloaded.
|
||
|
|
// If the zip was already cached it will skip
|
||
|
|
// downloading and call the cb with the cached zip path.
|
||
|
|
// If it wasn't cached it will download the zip and save
|
||
|
|
// it in the cache path.
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't specify `arch` or `platform` args it will use the built-in `os` module to get the values from the current OS. Specifying `version` is mandatory. If there is a `SHASUMS256.txt` file available for the `version`, the file downloaded will be validated against its checksum to ensure that it was downloaded without errors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use `electron-download` to download the `chromedriver`, `ffmpeg`,
|
||
|
|
`mksnapshot`, and symbols assets for a specific Electron release. This can be
|
||
|
|
configured by setting the `chromedriver`, `ffmpeg`, `mksnapshot`, or
|
||
|
|
`symbols` property to `true` in the specified options object. Only one of
|
||
|
|
these options may be specified per download call.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can force a re-download of the asset and the `SHASUM` file by setting the
|
||
|
|
`force` option to `true`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you would like to override the mirror location, three options are available. The mirror URL is composed as `url = ELECTRON_MIRROR + ELECTRON_CUSTOM_DIR + '/' + ELECTRON_CUSTOM_FILENAME`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can set the `ELECTRON_MIRROR` or [`NPM_CONFIG_ELECTRON_MIRROR`](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/config#environment-variables) environment variable or `mirror` opt variable to use a custom base URL for grabbing Electron zips. The same pattern applies to `ELECTRON_CUSTOM_DIR` and `ELECTRON_CUSTOM_FILENAME`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```plain
|
||
|
|
## Electron Mirror of China
|
||
|
|
ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## or for a local mirror
|
||
|
|
ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://10.1.2.105/"
|
||
|
|
ELECTRON_CUSTOM_DIR="our/internal/filePath"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can set ELECTRON_MIRROR in `.npmrc` as well, using the lowercase name:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```plain
|
||
|
|
electron_mirror=https://10.1.2.105/
|
||
|
|
```
