Download files from the latest release.

Test this as

link from github Markdown: https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/test.txt
link from github pages: https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/
release: https://github.com/niccokunzmann/download_latest/releases/latest

How to download a file of the latest release

Download file by name

In your markdown files in the repository or in your github pages, add a link:

https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<FILE>
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<USER>/<REPOSITORY>/<FILE>

Replace <FILE> with the name of the file to download from the releases. If you want to specify repository and user, you can do so.

Download file by index

If you are looking for a static way to download a file with index, without taking consideration of the file name, this is the option you are looking for

Ad the query parameter to the url like this: ?index=0..n

The first file has index 0.
When index is set, it downloads the file with that index from the latest release files. Example: ?index=5
If index is not set, the first file is downloaded. ?index=
If the index parameter is set, the file name is ignored.

https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/chlegou/bitbot/?index=0 // will download the 1st file in the latest release 
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/chlegou/bitbot/?index=5 // will download the 6th file in the latest release

IMPORTANT: In case of multiple files, you must take consideration of the files' order in the releases. They must follow the same order always. Adding files may break the order.

download_latest's Issues

No download if it closes too fast.

We should wait some time to ensure that the download started. Otherwise, sometimes the download does not start.

Heavy abuse from people in my neighborhood. Hey man, People have been hiking in the I get home and my accountant and they won’t stop being really dumb about it. Is there anything you suggest I do that would make them sorry for doing this to me?

Those are the pics I need others to help me with can you forward this to capable friends? They're hacking me and I'm not happy in my life because of them. Help

Add paramentes

I would like to have this specified:

organization and repository name niccokunzmann/12characters-translations#6
text to display while waiting for the download
text to display when the download fails

Can't download apk from GitHub button

Can't download apk from GitHub button on the official website

Close the window after the download started.

The window is useless so we can remove it.

download the first element if no <FILE> was set in URL

Hi there,

First thanks for the clever lib you made! 👍 really nice!

i wanted to add an enhancement, when passing empty <FILE> in url, we are getting error, (which is obvious) but instead, could we make it download the first file by default (if there is existing files already)?
so, this url:
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<USER>/<REPOSITORY>/
will download the first file in release (since it's null) if it exist.

this feature could be awesome!

For more enhancement, we could play around with it:
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<USER>/<REPOSITORY>/0/
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<USER>/<REPOSITORY>/1/

will respectively download files by indexes in the release files.
(testing by regex, if it ends with "%d/")

if this wasn't accepted, could you at least make the wabpage accept it as a query?
so, this url:
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<USER>/<REPOSITORY>/?index=0
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<USER>/<REPOSITORY>/?index=1

will always download files by indexes instead of returning error!

like that, we will never add the file names and URLs becomes static!! 😃
