Installation

npm i axios-multi-down

<script src="https://unpkg.com/axios-multi-down/lib/AxiosMultiDown.umd.js"></script>

Usage

import axiosBase from 'axios';
import AxiosMultiDown from 'axios-multi-down';

const axios = axiosBase.create({});

AxiosMultiDown(axios);

axios
    .down('http://example.com/test')
    .then(result => {})
    .catch(err => {});

axios
    .down('http://example.com/test', {
        method: 'get',
        headers: { 'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest' },
        // ...AxiosRequestConfig
    })
    .then(result => {})
    .catch(err => {});

axios
    .down({
        url: 'http://example.com/test',
        method: 'post',
        data: {
            firstName: 'Fred',
        },
        // ...AxiosRequestConfig
    })
    .then(result => {})
    .catch(err => {});

Api

AxiosMultiDown

AxiosMultiDown( axios )
AxiosMultiDown( axios [ , DownConfig ] ) // Global DownConfig

axios.down

axios.down( url )
axios.down( AxiosRequestConfig )

axios.down( url, AxiosRequestConfig )
axios.down( AxiosRequestConfig , DownConfig )

axios.down( url , AxiosRequestConfig, DownConfig )

DownConfig

defaultDownConfig => /src/const.ts

Name	Type	Default	Description	remark
max	Number	3	The maximum number of simultaneous downloads	*1
blockSize	Number K B G T	10M	The size of individual download blocks	unit byte
testMethod	TEST_METHOD	TEST_METHOD.HEAD	HTTP method used to check if the server supports the Range header.， self means AxiosRequestConfig.method	*2 If using self, please be aware of idempotence Idempotent
maxRetries	Number	3	block down err, max retry down count	重试将会在所有 block 下载完后进行
retryInterval	Number	1000	block down err, retry interval	unit ms
errMode	ERROR_MODE	ERROR_MODE.RETURN	How to handle when all block parts are fail downloaded	*3 If set to 'WAIT', you can manually retry through 'onFinishErr'
$Hook	Function	-	Similar to Event, e.g. on('data',fn) -> onData(fn), onceData(fn)	`Hook 'is sync,' Event 'is async

*1
    > Max will be overwritten, following these rules:

    blockLength = Math.ceil( contentLength / blockSize );
    max = max <= blockLength ? max : blockLength;

    如  contentLength = 10 , max = 5, blockSize = 9;
    max will be overwritten 2 -> [ 0-8 , 9-9 ]

*2
    The browser environment will enforce the use of the HEAD method because 'responseType === 'stream'' is not currently supported.

*3
    let retry = 0
    const resp = await axios.down( url , {
            maxRetries: 10,
            errMode: AxiosMultiDown.const.ERROR_MODE.WAIT // important
            onFinishErr(errorQueue, queue, downConfig) {
                // This will download all blocks
                // and retry each block 10 times.
                // After that, manually retry 3 more times
                while( retry++ < 3){
                    axiosMultiDown.RetryQueue(eQ, downConfig);
                }
            },
        },
    );

    // If successful, you will receive resp, but if the download fails, you will never be here
    console.log(resp);

CONST

TEST_METHOD

DownConfig.testMethod = AxiosMultiDown.const.TEST_METHOD

Name	Description
HEAD
SELF

ERROR_MODE

DownConfig.errMode = AxiosMultiDown.const.ERROR_MODE

Name	Description
RETURN	Immediate error returned, download aborted
WAIT	Waiting for manual processing, can be manually retried in conjunction with onFinishErr

IBlockData

interface IBlockData {
    s: number; // block start position
    e: number; // block end position
    i: number; // block index
    resp?: AxiosResponse;
        resp.data: Uint8Array; // block data, in multi down, type is Uint8Array
}

IAxiosDownResponse

axios.down(url).then(( resp: IAxiosDownResponse extends AxiosResponse )=>{})

resp = {
    ...axiosResponse,
    isMulti: boolean; // Is it downloaded through multiple requests?
    queue: IBlockData[];
    downConfig: IDownConfig;
}

The ...axiosResponse portion will be overwritten twice

• in first completed axios requests.
• in last completed axios requests,
  • other modify
    • resp.status = 200;
    • resp.statusText = 'OK';
    • resp.headers['content-type'] = totalContentLength;

Event

const emitter = new AxiosMultiDown.EventEmitter();

emitter.on('preDown', (queue: IBlockData[], config: IDownConfig) => void)
emitter.on('data', (block: IBlockData, queue: IBlockData[], config: IDownConfig) => void)
emitter.on('blockError', (block: IBlockData, queue: IBlockData[], config: IDownConfig) => void)
emitter.on('end', (queue: IBlockData[], config: IDownConfig) => void)
emitter.on('finishErr', (errQueue: IBlockData[], queue: IBlockData[], config: IDownConfig) => void)

axios.down( '/test', {} , { emitter } )

The emitter.once and emitter.on parameters are the same, but only executed once

Important

Not supported: Range

If the resource doesn't support Range, it will automatically fallback to make 'axios.down === axios' and return the result

CORS

If you are accessing a cross-origin server, the server needs to include 'Content-Range' in the 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' header; otherwise, the 'Content-Range' will not be included in the headers received by the client

docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Expose-Headers

res.setHeader('Access-Control-Expose-Headers', '$OtherHeaders, Content-Range');

TEST

npm run test

TODO

• [ ] Using responseType with stream provides better performance.
  • It requires using axios with fetch as the adapter to make it compatible with browsers
