Download a file using Nightmare

Question

I am using Nightmare to create a automated downloader for today\'s newspaper. I managed to login and go the the specified page. However I could not find out how to download

Answer 1

I got my downloads super easy using the request module, as described here.

var Nightmare = require('nightmare');
var fs = require('fs');
var request = require('request');

new Nightmare()
  .goto('https://login.nrc.nl/login?service=http://digitaleeditie.nrc.nl/welkom')
  .insert('input[name="username"]', 'Username')
  .insert('input[name="password"]','Password')
  .click('button[type="submit"]')
  .wait()
  .goto('http://digitaleeditie.nrc.nl/digitaleeditie/NH/2014/10/20141124___/downloads.html')
  .wait()
  .then(function () {
    download('http://digitaleeditie.nrc.nl/digitaleeditie/helekrant/epub/nrc_20141124.epub', 'myBook.epub', function () {
      console.log('done');
    });
  })
  .catch(function (err) {
    console.log(err);
  })

function download(uri, filename, callback) {
  request.head(uri, function () {
    request(uri).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(filename)).on('close', callback);
  });
}

Run npm i request in order to use request.
