Ever wanted to write a node script that just downloads a file synchronously? I'm sure you sometimes wish you worked on PHP and just used file_get_contents('url'). Yeah it's going to be slow, yeah it won't scale, but that doesn't matter for your little script.
npm install download-file-sync --save
var downloadFileSync = require('download-file-sync');
var content = downloadFileSync('https://github.com/vjeux/download-file-sync');
// '<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"...'That's it, now you can get back to writing awesome prototypes ;)
Here's the full implementation:
module.exports = function(url) {
return require('child_process').execSync(
"curl '" + url.replace(/\'/g, "'\\''") + "'",
{encoding: 'utf8'}
);
}As you can imagine, this is not web scale, but it works!
