Downloader Plugins
Downloader Plugins are used as part of LANraragi's built-in downloading feature.
Required subroutines
Only one subroutine needs to be implemented for the module to be recognized:
provide_url, which contains your working code. You're free to implement other subroutines for cleaner code, of course.Your plugin also needs an extra field in its metadata:
url_regex, which contains a Regular Expression that'll be used by LANraragi to know if your Downloader should be used.
For example, if your regex is https?:\/\/example.com.*, LANraragi will invoke your plugin if the user wants to download an URL that comes from example.com.In case of multiple Downloaders matching the given URL, the server will invoke the first plugin that matches.
Expected Input
The following section deals with writing the
provide_url subroutine.
When executing your Plugin, LRR will call this subroutine and pass it the following variables:1
sub provide_url {
2
​
3
#First lines you should have in the subroutine
4
shift;
5
my $lrr_info = shift; # Global info hash
6
my ($param1, $param2) = @_; # Plugin parameters
Copied!
The variables match the parameters you've entered in the
plugin_info subroutine.The
$lrr_info hash contains two variables you can use in your plugin:- $lrr_info->{url}: The URL that needs to be downloaded.
- $lrr_info->{user_agent}: Mojo::UserAgent object you can use for web requests. If this plugin depends on a Login plugin, this UserAgent will be pre-configured with the cookies from the Login.
Expected Output
LRR expects Downloaders to return a hash, containing a new URL that can be downloaded directly.
Said URL should directly point to a file -- Any form of HTML will trigger a failed download.
return ( download_url => "http://my.remote.service/download/secret-archive.zip" );If your script errored out, you can tell LRR that an error occurred by returning a hash containing an "error" field:
return ( error => "my error :(" );If you do this, the error will be logged/displayed to the user.

# You can also use LRR packages when fitting.

# All packages are fair game, but only functions explicitly exported by the Utils packages are supported between versions.

# Everything else is considered internal API and can be broken/renamed between versions.
