I am trying to download multiple images as a zip file. As I am using Azure blob, first I listed all blobs then compressed it using Archiver and used pipe function to send it to the client. But I am getting zip as a raw file and it is not downloading. I am using Node js + Express.
Server-side script:
function zipURLs(urls, outStream) {
var zipArchive = archiver.create('zip');
async.eachLimit(urls, 3, function(url, done) {
console.log(url);
var stream = request.get(url);
stream.on('error', function(err) {
return done(err);
}).on('end', function() {
return done();
});
// Use the last part of the URL as a filename within the ZIP archive.
zipArchive.append(stream, { name : url.replace(/^.*\//, '') });
}, function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
zipArchive.finalize();
zipArchive.pipe(outStream);
});
}
var data = {};
data.blob_name = value;
console.log('downloading');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: JSON.stringify(data),
contentType: 'application/json',
url: 'download/',
success: function(data) { console.log(data); }
Outstream is res. So I get data like this:-
How can I download directly as zip file using js?
Thanks
