zip-a-folder
Easy to use zip (or tar) a complete folder or a list of globs plain into a zip/tar/tgz file including compression ratio handling and custom write streams.
incompatible changes
- Version 2 adds glob lists handling as a src. So please be aware that using globs intentionally breaks up the "create-a-zip/tar-file-from-a-folder" approach.
- Version 3 adds the possibility to zip-a-folder to be usable either in commonjs or esm module environments.
- Version 3.1 adds the possibility to specify target folder within a zip file. By default the structure within a zip file doesn't contain the src folder, but the files and folder underneath.
Basic Usage
Install via npm
npm install zip-a-folder
Creating a ZIP file
1import { zip } from 'zip-a-folder'; 2 3class TestMe { 4 5 static async main() { 6 await zip('/path/to/the/folder', '/path/to/archive.zip'); 7 } 8} 9 10TestMe.main();
Creating a gzipped TAR file
1import { tar } from 'zip-a-folder'; 2 3class TestMe { 4 5 static async main() { 6 await tar('/path/to/the/folder', '/path/to/archive.tgz'); 7 } 8} 9 10TestMe.main();
Compression handling
For the sake of easy use, supported compression levels are (by now):
COMPRESSION_LEVEL.high, COMPRESSION_LEVEL.medium or COMPRESSION_LEVEL.uncompressed.
The default compression - level is high.
1import { zip, COMPRESSION_LEVEL } from 'zip-a-folder'; 2 3class TestMe { 4 5 static async main() { 6 await zip('/path/to/the/folder', '/path/to/archive.zip', {compression: COMPRESSION_LEVEL.high}); 7 } 8} 9 10TestMe.main();
Custom writeStreams
You can now pipe output to any WriteStream (just pass WriteStream as a parameter).
To keep the existing api stable the 2nd parameter (targetFilePath) can now be either undefined or an empty string.
ATTENTION: customWriteStream is not checked. So it is up to the user to check
on non-existing target folders or if the targetfolder equals to the sourcefolder
(ending up in circularity).
1import { zip, COMPRESSION_LEVEL } from 'zip-a-folder'; 2import { fs } from 'fs'; 3 4class TestMe { 5 static async main() { 6 const customWS = fs.createWriteStream('test/1234.zip'); 7 await zipafolder.zip(path.resolve(__dirname, 'data/'), undefined, {customWriteStream: customWS}); 8 } 9} 10 11TestMe.main();
Glob handling
The first parameter can be either a path or a glob. Globs are separated by comma.
1import {zip} from 'zip-a-folder'; 2 3class TestMe { 4 5 static async main() { 6 // zip all json into an archive 7 await zip('**/*.json', '/path/to/archive.zip'); 8 // zip all json AND txt files into a second archive 9 await zip('**/*.json, **/*.txt', '/path/to/archive2.zip'); 10 } 11} 12 13TestMe.main();
Destination path handling (>=3.1.x)
With passing a destination path to zip-a-folder options object you can define the target folder structure within the generated zip.
1import {zip} from 'zip-a-folder'; 2 3class TestMe { 4 5 static async main() { 6 // zip all json into an archive 7 await zip('data/', '/path/to/archive.zip', {destPath: 'data/'}); 8 } 9} 10 11TestMe.main();
Tests
Tests can be found in /test and run by jest. To run the tests call npm test.
