Wait until file is downloaded with react-js reactFileDownload?

For a legacy project I need to work with react-js and especially with the outdated reactFileDownload module.

Therefore, I am facing the problem of doing an API call to a server AFTER the user has downloaded a single file. For waiting on download I have seen

How do i wait until a file is done downloading (ObjectiveC) and

WebClient - wait until file has downloaded C#

Since the documentation on npm about reactFileDownload is - well - a 2 liner, maybe someone can give me a hint, how to do a

await <reactFileDownload()> .then(() => {proceed()})

in node.js.

Thanks,

Try this -

var fileDownload = require('react-file-download');
var promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  fileDownload(data, 'filename.csv');
  // wait 2 sec then resolve
  setTimeout(() => { resolve(true) }, 2000);
});

Then you can do -

await promise().then(result => console.log(result)).catch(err => console.log(err.message));
