I used the node-download-helper in my cli to download a vue template project, actually I got a big file, it's not a directory, I am confused about this issue, can u give me some solutions?

Hello, @Inchill could you clarify a bit? like how you construct the DownloadHelper object? which options? , the DownloaderHelper doesn't download folders, just files, so i am a bit confuse

@hgouveia I seem to understand that it doesn't support downloading folders, only individual files, is that right?

yep you are correct, it only download individual files, if you want to download a entire folder, you will need to get the list of the files from you part and download one by one or if you are the owner of the backend, you can just provided that as a zip files and download the zip file and use the pipe functionality to unzipped them
