zip-dir

Zips up a directory and saves the zip to disk or returns as a buffer.

install

$ npm install zip-dir

example

var zipdir = require('zip-dir');

zipdir('/path/to/be/zipped', function (err, buffer) {
  // `buffer` is the buffer of the zipped file
});

zipdir('/path/to/be/zipped', { saveTo: '~/myzip.zip' }, function (err, buffer) {
  // `buffer` is the buffer of the zipped file
  // And the buffer was saved to `~/myzip.zip`
});

// Use a filter option to prevent zipping other zip files!
// Keep in mind you have to allow a directory to descend into!
zipdir('/path/to/be/zipped', { filter: (path, stat) => !/\.zip$/.test(path) }, function (err, buffer) {
  
});

// Use an `each` option to call a function everytime a file is added, and receives the path
zipdir('/path/to/be/zipped', { each: path => console.log(p, "added!"), function (err, buffer) {

});
  

methods

var zipdir = require('zip-dir');

zipdir(dirPath, [options], callback)

Zips up dirPath recursively preserving directory structure and returns the compressed buffer into callback on success. If options defined with a saveTo path, then the callback will be delayed until the buffer has also been saved to disk.

Options

• saveTo A path to save the buffer to.
• filter A function that is called for all items to determine whether or not they should be added to the zip buffer. Function is called with the fullPath and a stats object (fs.Stats). Return true to add the item; false otherwise. To include files within directories, directories must also pass this filter.
• each A function that is called everytime a file or directory is added to the zip.

TODO

• Add an option to not add empty directories if there are no valid children inside
