## Summary
This PR adds automatic download functionality to the "Missing Models" dialog, allowing users to download missing models directly from the interface without manually searching and moving files.
## Features
- ✅ Automatically adds "Download" buttons to each missing model in the dialog
- ✅ Pre-configured URLs for popular models:
- SDXL & SD 1.5 checkpoints
- VAE models (sdxl_vae, vae-ft-mse)
- LoRA models (LCM LoRAs)
- ControlNet models (canny, openpose, depth)
- Upscale models (ESRGAN, RealESRGAN)
- CLIP encoders
- Flux models
- ✅ Real-time download progress shown as percentage in button
- ✅ Custom URL prompt for unknown models
- ✅ "Download All" button for bulk downloads
- ✅ TypeScript implementation with proper typing
## How it works
1. The extension monitors for the "Missing Models" dialog
2. When detected, it adds a download button next to each missing model
3. Known models download immediately from pre-configured sources
4. Unknown models prompt for a custom URL
5. Progress is shown in real-time (0% → 100%)
6. Models are automatically placed in the correct folders
## Backend Requirements
This extension requires the ComfyUI backend to have the model download API endpoints:
- `POST /api/models/download` - Start download
- `GET /api/models/download/{task_id}` - Check status
- `POST /api/models/download/{task_id}/cancel` - Cancel download
These endpoints are available in ComfyUI with the model_downloader module.
## Testing
1. Load a workflow with missing models
2. The "Missing Models" dialog should appear with download buttons
3. Click a button to download the model
4. Progress should update in real-time
5. Once complete, the model is ready to use
## Screenshots

## Backend Changes
The backend changes are already committed to your ComfyUI repository:
### Files Added/Modified:
- `app/model_downloader.py` - Core download functionality
- `comfy_config/download_config.py` - Configuration system
- `server.py` - API endpoints
- `nodes.py` - ModelDownloader node
### To use the complete system:
1. **Backend (ComfyUI)**: Your changes are ready in the current branch
2. **Frontend (ComfyUI_frontend)**: Submit the PR as described above
## Alternative: Direct Installation
If you want to use this immediately without waiting for PR approval:
### Frontend:
```bash
# Clone ComfyUI_frontend
git clone https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend.git
cd ComfyUI_frontend
# Apply the changes
git remote add temp /tmp/ComfyUI_frontend
git fetch temp
git cherry-pick 8c2f919ba128

```
### Backend:
Your ComfyUI already has all necessary backend components installed and ready.
## Notes
- The extension is fully TypeScript compliant
- It integrates seamlessly with the existing Missing Models dialog
- No modifications to existing code, only additions
- Backwards compatible - if backend endpoints don't exist, buttons simply won't work
