Images downloader

A Node.js module for downloading a single image or multiple images to disk from a given Url (checking if urls exist and detecting image type)

Prerequisites

Node.js - Version >=4.3.2

Installation

Use npm:

$ npm install images-downloader --save

Or you can clone and install HEAD:

git clone https://github.com/tekdreams/images-downloader.git
cd images-downloader
npm install

Usage

const download = require('images-downloader').images;

// The file will be downloaded to this directory. For example: __dirname + '/mediatheque'
const dest = 'path/to/dest'

// An array of image(s) to download
const images = ['http://url.com/image1.jpg',
	'http://url.com/image2.png',
	'http://url.com/image3.gif']

To download your single or multiple images use the following...

download(images, dest)
.then(result => {
	console.log('Images downloaded', result);	
})
.catch(error => console.log("downloaded error", error))

The result returned in from the promise will be a Result array.
