Please reach out if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience). Most recently I have been Netlify Build's and Netlify Plugins' technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

Example

import fetchNodeWebsite from 'fetch-node-website'

const stream = await fetchNodeWebsite('v12.8.0/node-v12.8.0-linux-x64.tar.gz')

// Example with options
const otherStream = await fetchNodeWebsite(
  'v12.8.0/node-v12.8.0-linux-x64.tar.gz',
  {
    progress: true,
    mirror: 'https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node',
    signal: new AbortController().signal,
  },
)

Install

npm install fetch-node-website

This package works in Node.js >=18.18.0.

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using an import or import() statement, not require(). If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to output ES modules, not CommonJS.

Usage

fetchNodeWebsite(path, options?)

path: string
options: object
Returns: Promise<Stream>

options

progress

Type: boolean
Default: false

Show a progress bar.

mirror

Type: string
Default: https://nodejs.org/dist

Base URL. Can be customized (for example https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node).

The following environment variables can also be used: NODE_MIRROR, NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR, N_NODE_MIRROR or NODIST_NODE_MIRROR.

signal

Type: AbortSignal

Cancels the release download when the signal is aborted.
