Forked from original extract-zip, but commneted isAbsolute to allow relative path for extraction of files
npm install extract-zip-relative-path
"scripts": {
"extract-my-files": "extract-zip ./my-images.zip ./src/assets",
},
`
giving this error:
error! Error: Target directory is expected to be absolute
But using extract-zip-relative-path you will be able to extract your zip file at any relative path.
THIS CHANGE IS NOT TESTED, NOT SURE WHY THIS CHECK WAS THERE WHICH I COMMENTED OUT :P
`
module.exports = async function (zipPath, opts) {
debug('creating target directory', opts.dir)
// if (!path.isAbsolute(opts.dir)) {
// throw new Error('Target directory is expected to be absolute')
// }
await fs.mkdir(opts.dir, { recursive: true })
opts.dir = await fs.realpath(opts.dir)
return new Extractor(zipPath, opts).extract()
}

Unzip written in pure JavaScript. Extracts a zip into a directory. Available as a library or a command line program.
Uses the yauzl ZIP parser.

JS API
`javascript
const extract = require("extract-zip");
async function main() {
try {
await extract(source, { dir: target });
console.log("Extraction complete");
} catch (err) {
// handle any errors
}
}
`
$3
- 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-zip foo.zip
`
If not specified, targetDirectory will default to process.cwd()`.
