```bash
$ npm i @slimio/nodejs-downloader
# or
$ yarn add @slimio/nodejs-downloader
```

## Usage example

```js
const {
    getNodeRelease,
    downloadNodeFile,
    extract,
    constants: { File }
} = require("@slimio/nodejs-downloader");

// CONSTANTS
const DOWNLOAD = join(__dirname, "download");

async function main() {
    const nodeRelease = await getNodeRelease("v8.0.0");
    console.log(nodeRelease);

    // Download Node.js headers (of current Node.js version).
    const tarFile = await downloadNodeFile(File.Headers, {
        dest: DOWNLOAD
    });

    // Extract tar.gz
    const dirHeaders = await extract(tarFile);
    console.log(dirHeaders);
}
main().catch(console.error);
```

## API

<details><summary>getNodeRelease(version: String): Release</summary
<br />

```js
const { getNodeRelease } = require("@slimio/nodejs-downloader");

async function main() {

<details><summary>downloadNodeFile(file?: String, options?: DownloadOptions): String</summary
<br />

Download a given release Node.js file... Use the constant `File` of the module to known all available Node.js files !

- Default value for `version` is the result of `process.version`.
- Default value for `dest` is the result of `process.cwd()`.

```js
const { downloadNodeFile, constants: { File } } = require("@slimio/nodejs-downloader");

async function main() {
    const tarFile = await downloadNodeFile(File.Headers, {
        version: "v11.0.0",
        dest: "./headers"
    });
    console.log(tarFile);
}
main().catch(console.error);
```
</details>

<details><summary>extract(file: String): String</summary
<br />

Extract `.tar.gz` and `.zip` file. This method help you to extract Node.js files !

```js
const tarFile = await downloadNodeFile(File.Headers, {
    version: "v11.0.0",
    dest: "./headers"
});
