rnfs-untar CI Coverage Status

rnfs-untar is a utility for extracting files from TAR archives in React Native environments. This library provides both a low-level API for granular control and high-level API functions for common tasks such as listing all files, finding a specific file, and reading the entire TAR archive.

Installation

npm install @planitar/rnfs-untar

High-Level API Usage

listFiles(tarFilePath: string): Promise<string[]>

Lists all files in the TAR archive.

import { listFiles } from '@planitar/rnfs-untar';

listFiles('/path/to/tar/archive.tar').then(files => {
  console.log('Files:', files);
});

findFile(tarFilePath: string, fileName: string | RegExp): Promise<TarFile | null>

Finds a specific file in the TAR archive.

import { findFile } from '@planitar/rnfs-untar';

// Match by exact full path.
findFile('/path/to/tar/archive.tar', 'specific/file.txt').then(file => {
  if (file) {
    console.log('File found:', file.header.name);
    console.log('File content:', (await file.read()).toString('utf-8'));
  } else {
    console.log('File not found.');
  }
});

// Match by regexp.
findFile('/path/to/tar/archive.tar', /\bfile\.txt$/).then(file => {
  if (file) {
    console.log('File found:', file.header.name);
    console.log('File content:', (await file.read()).toString('utf-8'));
  } else {
    console.log('File not found.');
  }
});

readTar(tarFilePath: string, callback: (file: TarFile) => Promise<boolean | void>): Promise<void>

Reads the entire TAR archive and calls the provided callback function for each file in the archive.

import { readTar } from '@planitar/rnfs-untar';

readTar('/path/to/tar/archive.tar', async (file) => {
  console.log('File:', file.header.name);
  console.log('Content:', (await file.read()).toString('utf-8'));
});

Low-Level API Usage

The low-level API provides direct access to the TarExtractor class.

import { TarExtractor } from '@planitar/rnfs-untar';

const tarExtractor = new TarExtractor();

tarExtractor.read('/path/to/tar/archive.tar', async (file) => {
  console.log('File:', file.header.name);
  console.log('Content:', (await file.read()).toString('utf-8'));
});
