我更喜欢request()，因为你可以同时使用http和https。

request('http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/J---aiyznGQ/mqdefault.jpg')
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('cat.jpg'))

你可以使用https://github.com/douzi8/ajax-request#download

request.download('http://res.m.ctrip.com/html5/Content/images/57.png', 
  function(err, res, body) {}
);

Node v18及以上版本自带自带的Fetch API支持。使用它。

最初的回答:

对于支持承诺的节点，与其他答案相比，一个简单的(部分)Fetch API的Node shim只需要少量额外的代码:

const fs = require(`fs`);
const http = require(`http`);
const https = require(`https`);

module.exports = function fetch(url) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const data = [];
    const client = url.startsWith("https") ? https : http;
    client
      .request(url, (res) => {
        res.on(`data`, (chunk) => data.push(chunk));
        res.on(`end`, () => {
          const asBytes = Buffer.concat(data);
          const asString = asBytes.toString(`utf8`);
          resolve({
            arrayBuffer: async () => asBytes,
            json: async () => JSON.parse(asString),
            text: async () => asString,
          });
        });
        res.on(`error`, (e) => reject(e));
      })
      .end();
  });
};

你可以用它来做任何你需要的事情，使用普通的fetch语法:

const fetch = require(`./tiny-fetch.js`);

fetch(`https://placekitten.com/200/300`)
  .then(res => res.arrayBuffer())
  .then(bytes => fs.writeFileSync(`kitten.jpg`, bytes))
  .catch(e => console.error(e));

fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1`)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(obj => console.log(obj))
  .catch(e => console.error(e));

// etc.

const download = (url, path) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
http.get(url, response => {
    const statusCode = response.statusCode;

    if (statusCode !== 200) {
        return reject('Download error!');
    }

    const writeStream = fs.createWriteStream(path);
    response.pipe(writeStream);

    writeStream.on('error', () => reject('Error writing to file!'));
    writeStream.on('finish', () => writeStream.close(resolve));
});}).catch(err => console.error(err));

根据上面的其他答案和一些微妙的问题，下面是我的尝试。

Check the file does not exist before hitting the network by using fs.access. Only create the fs.createWriteStream if you get a 200 OK status code. This reduces the amount of fs.unlink commands required to tidy up temporary file handles. Even on a 200 OK we can still possibly reject due to an EEXIST file already exists (imagine another process created the file whilst we were doing network calls). Recursively call download if you get a 301 Moved Permanently or 302 Found (Moved Temporarily) redirect following the link location provided in the header. The issue with some of the other answers recursively calling download was that they called resolve(download) instead of download(...).then(() => resolve()) so the Promise would return before the download actually finished. This way the nested chain of promises resolve in the correct order. It might seem cool to clean up the temp file asynchronously, but I chose to reject only after that completed too so I know that everything start to finish is done when this promise resolves or rejects.

const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');

/**
 * Download a resource from `url` to `dest`.
 * @param {string} url - Valid URL to attempt download of resource
 * @param {string} dest - Valid path to save the file.
 * @returns {Promise<void>} - Returns asynchronously when successfully completed download
 */
function download(url, dest) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    // Check file does not exist yet before hitting network
    fs.access(dest, fs.constants.F_OK, (err) => {

        if (err === null) reject('File already exists');

        const request = https.get(url, response => {
            if (response.statusCode === 200) {
       
              const file = fs.createWriteStream(dest, { flags: 'wx' });
              file.on('finish', () => resolve());
              file.on('error', err => {
                file.close();
                if (err.code === 'EEXIST') reject('File already exists');
                else fs.unlink(dest, () => reject(err.message)); // Delete temp file
              });
              response.pipe(file);
            } else if (response.statusCode === 302 || response.statusCode === 301) {
              //Recursively follow redirects, only a 200 will resolve.
              download(response.headers.location, dest).then(() => resolve());
            } else {
              reject(`Server responded with ${response.statusCode}: ${response.statusMessage}`);
            }
          });
      
          request.on('error', err => {
            reject(err.message);
          });
    });
  });
}

这里还有另一种方法来处理它没有第三方依赖，也搜索重定向:

        var download = function(url, dest, cb) {
            var file = fs.createWriteStream(dest);
            https.get(url, function(response) {
                if ([301,302].indexOf(response.statusCode) !== -1) {
                    body = [];
                    download(response.headers.location, dest, cb);
                  }
              response.pipe(file);
              file.on('finish', function() {
                file.close(cb);  // close() is async, call cb after close completes.
              });
            });
          }
