How do I download files uploaded with Exfile?

you can put a link in templates with file path

for example

<%= link "file", to: "/uploads/file.zip" %>

or

   conn
    |> put_resp_content_type("application/zip")
    |> put_resp_header("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"file.zip\"")
    |> send_resp(200, "uploads/file.zip")

I get the url in the template with <% = exfile_url (@conn, @ user.img)%>. How can I get the url in <% = link" file ", to:" /uploads/file.zip "%>

Thank you!

But if file is image you cant download directly with a link. You can manually save.
<%= link "file", to: "#{exfile_url(@conn, @user.img)}" %>

maybe you just want to show image ?
<img src="<%= exfile_url(@conn, @user.img)%>">

you should use that function

conn
    |> put_resp_content_type("application/zip")
    |> put_resp_header("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"file.zip\"")
    |> send_resp(200, "uploads/file.zip")

Is that a hobby project?

Yes, it is a project to learn. The variable is called img, but it stores images, pdf or docx, it will change the name of the variable to file.

Do I have to put in the controller something like download, to use the code that he gives me?

yes you should put that function in controller

I try with <% = link" file ", to:" # {exfile_url (@conn, @ user.img)} "%> the browser takes me to another page, but does not download.

I was reviewing the uploads directory and store the files without format, as encrypted

image820×154 33.4 KB

exfile handles the following structure

image1091×780 79.5 KB

then first you should decrypt it . I dont know how ex_file handles that.

Do you have any projects that upload and download files, in which you can see the controller, router, model and templete?

Dont try directly hard method. First try without encrypt if it works. Try your chance with encrypt

Create a path in router

get "/download", DownloadController, :download

add that function in DownloadController

 def download(conn, %{"file_path" => file_path})
   conn
    |> put_resp_header("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"test-file.jpg\"")
    |> send_resp(200, file_path)
  end

and add a link to any page
<%= link "Download", to: download_path(@conn, :download, file_path: exfile_url(@conn, @user.img) %>

Maybe that helps you
