Which implementation would you prefer for downloading bulk attachments? (e.g. click download and | |
expect 3+ images) | |
1) One implementation requires the addition of 3 new libraries to make a zip file (which a user will just unzip | |
anyway) | |
However, it looks pretty straightforward | |
*/ | |
import JSZip from 'jszip'; | |
import JSZipUtils from 'jszip-utils'; | |
import { saveAs } from 'file-saver'; | |
const zip = new JSZip(); | |
const zipFilename = "attachments.zip"; | |
files.forEach((file, idx) => { | |
// here, the image is fetched from the server, only to be zipped | |
JSZipUtils.getBinaryContent(href, function (err, data) { | |
if (err) { | |
throw err; | |
} | |
// add file to zip | |
zip.file(title, data, {binary:true}); | |
if (idx === files.length - 1) { | |
zip.generateAsync({type:'blob'}).then(function(content) { | |
// force download of created zip file | |
saveAs(content, zipFilename); | |
}); | |
} | |
}); | |
//OR | |
/* | |
2) download all the files individually, unzipped | |
*/ | |
files.forEach(file => { | |
downloadFile(href, filename); | |
}) | |
//where download file looks like: | |
export function downloadFile(href, filename) { | |
let link = document.createElement("a"); | |
link.setAttribute("href", href); | |
link.setAttribute("download", filename); | |
document.body.appendChild(link); | |
link.click(); // This will download the data file | |
document.body.removeChild(link); | |
