node-stream-zip !CI Checks

node.js library for reading and extraction of ZIP archives.
Features:

- it never loads entire archive into memory, everything is read by chunks
- large archives support
- all operations are non-blocking, no sync i/o
- fast initialization
- no dependencies, no binary addons
- decompression with built-in zlib module
- deflate, sfx, macosx/windows built-in archives
- ZIP64 support

Installation

``sh
npm i node-stream-zip
`

Usage

There are two APIs provided:
1. promise-based / async
2. callbacks

It's recommended to use the new, promise API, however the legacy callback API
may be more flexible for certain operations.

$3

Open a zip file
`javascript
const StreamZip = require('node-stream-zip');
const zip = new StreamZip.async({ file: 'archive.zip' });
`

Stream one entry to stdout
`javascript
const stm = await zip.stream('path/inside/zip.txt');
stm.pipe(process.stdout);
stm.on('end', () => zip.close());
`

Read a file as buffer
`javascript
const data = await zip.entryData('path/inside/zip.txt');
await zip.close();
`

Extract one file to disk
`javascript
await zip.extract('path/inside/zip.txt', './extracted.txt');
await zip.close();
`

List entries
`javascript
const entriesCount = await zip.entriesCount;
console.log(Entries read: ${entriesCount});

const entries = await zip.entries();
for (const entry of Object.values(entries)) {
const desc = entry.isDirectory ? 'directory' : ${entry.size} bytes;
console.log(Entry ${entry.name}: ${desc});
}

// Do not forget to close the file once you're done
await zip.close();
`

Extract a folder from archive to disk
`javascript
fs.mkdirSync('extracted');
await zip.extract('path/inside/zip/', './extracted');
await zip.close();
`

Extract everything
`javascript
fs.mkdirSync('extracted');
const count = await zip.extract(null, './extracted');
console.log(Extracted ${count} entries);
await zip.close();
`

When extracting a folder, you can listen to extract event
`javascript
zip.on('extract', (entry, file) => {
console.log(Extracted ${entry.name} to ${file});
});
`

entry event is generated for every entry during loading
`javascript
zip.on('entry', entry => {
// you can already stream this entry,
// without waiting until all entry descriptions are read (suitable for very large archives)
console.log(Read entry ${entry.name});
});
`

$3

Open a zip file
`javascript
const StreamZip = require('node-stream-zip');
const zip = new StreamZip({ file: 'archive.zip' });

// Handle errors
zip.on('error', err => { /.../ });
`

List entries
`javascript
zip.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Entries read: ' + zip.entriesCount);
for (const entry of Object.values(zip.entries())) {
const desc = entry.isDirectory ? 'directory' : ${entry.size} bytes;
console.log(Entry ${entry.name}: ${desc});
}
// Do not forget to close the file once you're done
zip.close();
});
`

Stream one entry to stdout
`javascript
zip.on('ready', () => {
zip.stream('path/inside/zip.txt', (err, stm) => {
stm.pipe(process.stdout);
stm.on('end', () => zip.close());
});
});
`

Extract one file to disk
`javascript
zip.on('ready', () => {
zip.extract('path/inside/zip.txt', './extracted.txt', err => {
console.log(err ? 'Extract error' : 'Extracted');
zip.close();
});
});
`

Extract a folder from archive to disk
`javascript
zip.on('ready', () => {
fs.mkdirSync('extracted');
zip.extract('path/inside/zip/', './extracted', err => {
console.log(err ? 'Extract error' : 'Extracted');
zip.close();
});
});
`

Extract everything
`javascript
zip.on('ready', () => {
fs.mkdirSync('extracted');
zip.extract(null, './extracted', (err, count) => {
console.log(err ? 'Extract error' : Extracted ${count} entries);
zip.close();
});
});
`

Read a file as buffer in sync way
`javascript
zip.on('ready', () => {
const data = zip.entryDataSync('path/inside/zip.txt');
zip.close();
});
`

When extracting a folder, you can listen to extract event
`javascript
zip.on('extract', (entry, file) => {
console.log(Extracted ${entry.name} to ${file});
});
`

entry event is generated for every entry during loading
`javascript
zip.on('entry', entry => {
// you can already stream this entry,
// without waiting until all entry descriptions are read (suitable for very large archives)
console.log(Read entry ${entry.name});
});
`

Options

You can pass these options to the constructor
- storeEntries: true - you will be able to work with entries inside zip archive, otherwise the only way to access them is entry event
- skipEntryNameValidation: true - by default, entry name is checked for malicious characters, like ../ or c:\123, pass this flag to disable validation errors
- nameEncoding: 'utf8' - encoding used to decode file names, UTF8 by default

Methods

- zip.entries() - get all entries description
- zip.entry(name) - get entry description by name
- zip.stream(entry, function(err, stm) { }) - get entry data reader stream
- zip.entryDataSync(entry) - get entry data in sync way
- zip.close() - cleanup after all entries have been read, streamed, extracted, and you don't need the archive

Building

The project doesn't require building. To run unit tests with nodeunit:
`sh
npm test
``

Known issues

- utf8 file names

Out of scope

- AES encrypted files: the library will throw an error if you try to open it
