`DownloadItem` is an `EventEmitter` that represents a download item in Electron.
|
|
It is used in `will-download` event of `Session` class, and allows users to
|
|
control the download item.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// In the main process.
|
|
const {BrowserWindow} = require('electron')
|
|
let win = new BrowserWindow()
|
|
win.webContents.session.on('will-download', (event, item, webContents) => {
|
|
// Set the save path, making Electron not to prompt a save dialog.
|
|
item.setSavePath('/tmp/save.pdf')
|
|
|
|
item.on('updated', (event, state) => {
|
|
if (state === 'interrupted') {
|
|
console.log('Download is interrupted but can be resumed')
|
|
} else if (state === 'progressing') {
|
|
if (item.isPaused()) {
|
|
console.log('Download is paused')
|
|
} else {
|
|
console.log(`Received bytes: ${item.getReceivedBytes()}`)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
item.once('done', (event, state) => {
|
|
if (state === 'completed') {
|
|
console.log('Download successfully')
|
|
} else {
|
|
console.log(`Download failed: ${state}`)
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
```

## Methods
|
|
|
|
The `downloadItem` object has the following methods:
|
|
|
|
### `downloadItem.setSavePath(path)`
|
|
|
|
* `path` String - Set the save file path of the download item.
|
|
|
|
The API is only available in session's `will-download` callback function.
|
|
If user doesn't set the save path via the API, Electron will use the original
|
|
routine to determine the save path(Usually prompts a save dialog).
|
|
|
|
### `downloadItem.getSavePath()`
|
|
|
|
Returns `String` - The save path of the download item. This will be either the path
|
|
set via `downloadItem.setSavePath(path)` or the path selected from the shown
|
|
save dialog.
|
|
|
|
### `downloadItem.pause()`
|
|
|
|
Pauses the download.
|
|
|
