Meteor front-end RESTful API downloads files via backend API

Meteor Download File problem scenario

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

Example: The online Meteor logo file is like a RESTful API provided by the backend, and 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

Description
* Cfs:http-methods * is handy for providing a convenient opportunity to create RESTful APIs for meteor projects.
Here for details.

* Froatsnook:request * provides an opportunity for the Meteor project to provide a RESTful API that facilitates access to binary data, and is also very simple and convenient to support synchronization requests.
Here for details.

Sample code meteor server-side

if(Meteor.isserver) {//Exports a RESTful API for browserHttp.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.      varres = This. Createwritestream ();//Play as a HTTP client for requesting image.      //It is Sync the      varresult = Request.getsync ("Https://meteor.com/meteor-logo.png", {encoding:NULL});varbuffer = Result.body;//Todo:need to set header for response here which transfered by      //response of the logo request.Res.write (buffer);    Res.end (); }  });}//Meteor.isserver Enclosure
