## Highlight
- [x] skip mechanism, local file & content-length
- [x] retry / timeout support
- [x] stream to file, not ate memory like the [download](https://github.com/kevva/download/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=memory+) module
- [x] download progress support, via awesome [got](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got) module
## Install
```sh
$ npm i dl-vampire --save
```
## API
```js
import dl, { Vampire, readUrl } from 'dl-vampire'
```
### `dl(options: DlOptions) => Promise<{skip: boolean}>`
| name | type | required | default value | description |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `options.url` | `String` | `true` | | the download url |
| `options.file` | `String` | `true` | | the local target file path |
| `options.onprogress` | `function(progress)` | | | [got `downloadProgress` event listener](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got#ondownloadprogress-progress) |
| `options.retry` | `Object` | | `{times: 5, timeout: false}` | retry options, will pass to [promise.retry](https://github.com/magicdawn/promise.retry#pretry) |
| `options.skipExists` | `boolean` | | `true` | if local file already exists _AND_ file stat size match response `content-length` size, the download will be skiped |
| `options.expectSize` | `number` | | | validate local file `stat.size === expectSize`, if check pass the download will be skiped |
| `options.expectHash` | `string` | | | validate local file `file.hash === expectHash`, using `expectHashAlgorithm` if check pass the download will be skiped |
| `options.expectHashAlgorithm` | `string` | | `'md5'` | the expect hash algorithm, default `md5` |
| `options.useChromeUa` | `Boolean` | | `true` | use `user-agent` of the Chrome Browser |
| `options.useProxyEnv` | `Boolean` | | `true` | use `proxy-agent` module, will use `http_proxy` / `https_proxy` / `all_proxy` env variable |
| `options.requestOptions` | `Object` | | | custom request options, see [request options](https://github.com/request/request#requestoptions-callback) |
- if finally the download is skiped, the return promise will resolve to `{skip: true}`
- else it will resolve to `{skip: false}`
#### `options.retry.*`
| name | type | description |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `options.retry.times` | `Number` | max retry times |
| `options.retry.timeout` | `Number` / `false` | `false` disables timeout check, `Number`: max wait in ms |
| `options.retry.onerror` | `function(err, index)` | when retry happens, this hook will be called, whether a normal error or a timeout error, index is `0` based |
more see https://github.com/magicdawn/promise.retry
#### `ts types`
```ts
// options for dl() / readUrl()
import type { DlOptions, ReadUrlOptions, ReadUrlOptionsWithEncoding } from 'dl-vampire'
// onpregress type, and progress arg type
import type { OnProgress, Progress } from 'dl-vampire'
