Downloading parts of request nodejs?

Question

Node.js

By default, the request library downloads everything into an internal body object, which is stored in RAM. There are files of 5-6GB, which I do not want to stick into the RAM. Tell me how to make a gradual write to a file and is it possible with this library?

Answer 1

You just need to download through the stream :

request('https://google.com/doodle.png').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('doodle.png'))
