extract-any-zip

This module is a clone of the amazing extract-zip with the added ability to unzip urls, buffers as well as files via file-to-buffer. Everything else in the API remains exactly the same.

Written in pure JavaScript. Extracts a zip into a directory. Available as a library or a command line program.

Uses the yauzl ZIP parser.

Installation

Make sure you have Node 10 or greater installed.

Get the library:

npm install extract-any-zip --save

Install the command line program:

npm install extract-any-zip -g

JS API

const extract = require('extract-any-zip')

async function main () {
  try {
    await extract(source, { dir: target })
    console.log('Extraction complete')
  } catch (err) {
    // handle any errors
  }
}

Source

This is where this module differs with extract-zip in that it can take other sources:

Type: Buffer File URL

Options

• dir (required) - the path to the directory where the extracted files are written
• defaultDirMode - integer - Directory Mode (permissions), defaults to 0o755
• defaultFileMode - integer - File Mode (permissions), defaults to 0o644
• onEntry - function - if present, will be called with (entry, zipfile), entry is every entry from the zip file forwarded from the entry event from yauzl. zipfile is the yauzl instance

Default modes are only used if no permissions are set in the zip file.

CLI Usage

extract-any-zip foo.zip <targetDirectory>

If not specified, targetDirectory will default to process.cwd().

NOTE: I didn't change version numbers and so this module continues from version 2.0.2 which the the version of extract-zip that it was forked from. This is in a bid to retain version compatibility with extract-zip.
