node-zip

node-zip - Zip/Unzip files ported from JSZip

Installation

npm install node-zip

Usage

Zip:

var zip = new require('node-zip')();
zip.file('test.file', 'hello there');
var data = zip.generate({base64:false,compression:'DEFLATE'});
console.log(data); // ugly data

Unzip:

var zip = new require('node-zip')(data, {base64: false, checkCRC32: true});
console.log(zip.files['test.file']); // hello there

You can also load directly:

require('node-zip');
var zip = new JSZip(data, options)
...

Write to a file (IMPORTANT: use binary encode, thanks to @Acek)

var fs = require("fs");
zip.file('test.txt', 'hello there');
var data = zip.generate({base64:false,compression:'DEFLATE'});
fs.writeFile('test.zip', data, 'binary');
