Meteor front-end RESTful API downloads files through the back-end API, meteorrestful
Meteor File Download Problems

The backend HTTP server provides a download interface, but the front-end Meteor must be able to open a URL for the browser user to download the file.

For example, an online Meteor Logo file is like a RESTful API provided by the backend. Then, we expose a URL to the browser client to download

Meteor dependency

Install all dependencies:

meteor add httpmeteor add cfs:http-methodsmeteor add froatsnook:request

Note:
* Cfs: http-methods *It is very convenient to create RESTful APIs for Meteor projects.
Here for details.

* Froatsnook: request *It is also very simple and convenient to provide a RESTful API for the Meteor project to facilitate access to binary data, and supports synchronous requests.
Here for details.

Sample Code Meteor Server

if (Meteor.isServer) {  // exports a RESTful API for browser  HTTP.methods({    // name RESTful API as "GET /download-meteor-logo"    '/download-meteor-logo': function() {      // A file in streaming, so need to response to browser as a streaming.      var res = this.createWriteStream();      // Play as a HTTP client for requesting image.      // It is Sync way      var result = request.getSync("https://meteor.com/meteor-logo.png", {        encoding: null      });      var buffer = result.body;      // TODO: need to set header for response here which transfered by      // response of logo request.      res.write(buffer);      res.end();    }  });} // Meteor.isServer enclosure

Check whether there is a Logo in the browser

meteor --port 3000
