GithubReleaseDownloader

If you just want to download assets with very minimal code, we got you! All you need to know is the public repository name and owner, and you can download release assets easily. No need to setup api keys and clients.

Simple console demo

I think it's easier to show how it works, here is a simple console demo to download assets from the latest release of fossa-client-desktop

using GithubReleaseDownloader;

namespace ConsoleApp;

public static class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // The owner and repo to download from, and target path
        var owner = "libremindsph";
        var repo = "fossa-client-desktop";
        var downloadPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);

        // Get last release using .GetLatest(), can substitute with other available methods
        var release = ReleaseManager.Instance.GetLatest(owner, repo);
        
        if (release is null) return;
        
        // In this case, we download all assets
        AssetDownloader.Instance .DownloadAllAssets(release, downloadPath);
    }

}

And done! That easy. If you need to monitor the progress, we also got you covered. just use the progressChanged callback.

using GithubReleaseDownloader;
using GithubReleaseDownloader.Entities;

namespace ConsoleApp;

public static class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        
        // The owner and repo to download from, and target path
        var owner = "libremindsph";
        var repo = "fossa-client-desktop";
        var downloadPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);

        // Get last release using .GetLatest(), can substitute with other available methods
        var release = ReleaseManager.Instance.GetLatest(owner, repo);
        
        if (release is null) return;
        
        // In this case, we download all assets
        AssetDownloader.Instance.DownloadAllAssets(release,downloadPath, progressChanged: RunOnProgressChanged);
    }

    // This is being executed when the progress changes
    private static void RunOnProgressChanged(DownloadInfo downloadInfo)
    {
        if (downloadInfo.DownloadPercent == 1.0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Finished downloading: {downloadInfo.Name}");
            return;
        }

        if (downloadInfo.DownloadPercent == 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Start downloading: {downloadInfo.Name}");
            return;
        }
        
        Console.WriteLine($"Progress({downloadInfo.Name}): {downloadInfo.DownloadPercent:P}");
    }
}
