Download a file after custom process

[afbora]

Hey!

I'm trying to make a process that create custom zip file and download the zip file when client click the button. I tried with janitor:download and job, couldn't do that.

• janitor:download doesn't work because endpoint route is not a file, this is a process. After zip file created, download should be started. Returns 404 when I set the route that handle the zip file.
• job doesn't work because I can't start download process in a job or return download file path. Zip file created but download doesn't start.

Any help please?

sorry @afbora for the late reply.

does sending the header::download and exit as described in the readme not work?

No problem. Thanks for the reply.

I think the janitor:download method wants a direct file path. But in my case I have to create the file first (creating zip file) and then give the zip file path.

does sending the header::download and exit as described in the readme not work?

Here my job and it doesn't work (401: Unauthenticated error). What am I doing wrong?

<?php 

class downloadOrders extends \Bnomei\JanitorJob
{
    public function job(): array
    {
        $zipFile = kirby()->root() . "/export.zip";
        $zipArchive = new ZipArchive();

        if ($zipArchive->open($zipFile, (ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE)) !== true) {
            die("Failed to create archive\n");
        }

        $files = Dir::read(kirby()->root() . '/orders', null, true);
        foreach ($files as $file) {
            $zipArchive->addFile($file, basename($file));
        }

        $zipArchive->close();

        Header::download([
            'mime' => F::mime($zipFile),
            'name' => F::filename($zipFile),
        ]);
        
        readfile($zipFile);
        die();

        return [
            'status' => 200
        ];
    }
}
