I want to create a file download API using hapi. Without using res.download()
, how to do it using reply()
?
You can also download a file from stream
const { Readable } = require('stream');
handler: async (request: any, h: Hapi.ResponseToolkit) => {
let stream = Fs.createReadStream(filePath);
let streamData = new Readable().wrap(stream);
return h.response(streamData)
.header('Content-Type', contentType)
.header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename= ' + fileName);
}
To get content type of file you can refer:
getContentType(fileExt) {
let contentType;
switch (fileExt) {
case 'pdf':
contentType = 'application/pdf';
break;
case 'ppt':
contentType = 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint';
break;
case 'pptx':
contentType = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.preplyentationml.preplyentation';
break;
case 'xls':
contentType = 'application/vnd.ms-excel';
break;
case 'xlsx':
contentType = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet';
break;
case 'doc':
contentType = 'application/msword';
break;
case 'docx':
contentType = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document';
break;
case 'csv':
contentType = 'application/octet-stream';
break;
case 'xml':
contentType = 'application/xml';
break;
}
return contentType;
}
you need to make a Buffer and then set the header and the encoding for the reply
let buf = new Buffer(xls, 'binary');
return reply(buf)
.encoding('binary')
.type('application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet')
.header('content-disposition', `attachment; filename=test-${new Date().toISOString()}.xlsx;`);
This solution is valid for hapi v17 and newer
You may use @hapi/inert
module for downloading a file.
First, register the plugin with your server.
await server.register(require("@hapi/inert"));
Then in the handler
downloadFile: function (request, h) {
return h.file("name-of-file-to-download-from-local-system", {
mode: "attachment",
filename: "name-to-be-given-to-downloaded-file",
confine: "/path/to/file/", //This is optional. provide only if the file is saved in a different location
});
},
