Allow plugins to download assets

    Hello,

    I’m writing some plugins for Publii and I would like to give users the choice to either download the assets being used or include them from a CDN.

    Within beforeRender I successfully used https.get to download some files, but I couldn’t manage that the files would then be reliably copied by copyPluginFiles? (Promise, filehandle.sync, etc)

    Would it be possible to extend the plugin API to include an asset download function? I would be very grateful for that.

    /**
    * Download file to input/media/PLUGIN_NAME/
    */
    downloadFile (fileUrl, fileName, pluginInstance) // returns true or false

    Out of curiosity: Are you referencing particular docs for plugin development?

    As far as I know, there was no (official) documentation until just now.

    Perhaps it can help someone: P4P (wip)

    Thank you very much for your kind words.

    Will submit an issue later, so feel free to chat here.

    I wrote something, but unfortunately I can no longer find the request: Map view for tags (Example).
    No API key required and completely free (leaftletjs, osm, nominatim). 🤓

    I’m running out of time now, but I’ll rewrite the instructions later so that the assets are downloaded to the override directory.

    Small update: I added the content before consent in the template, as shown in the example on P4P.
