Nodejs packaging module archiver details

Archiver is a cross-platform module in nodejs, which can be used for zip and tar packages.

Install the archiver module before using it.

npm install archiver

Create a piece of code

var archiver = require('archiver');

var fs = require('fs');

//Packaged file 

var files = [

  'files/001.png',

  'files/002.png'

  ];

var zipPath = 'test.zip';

//Creates an output stream of the final packaged file 

var output = fs.createWriteStream(zipPath);

//Generate the archiver object, packaged with zip

var zipArchiver = archiver('zip');

//Associate the packaged object with the output stream 

zipArchiver.pipe(output);

for(var i=0; i < files.length; i++) {

  console.log(files[i]);

  //Adds the stream of the packaged file to the archiver object 

  zipArchiver.append(fs.createReadStream(files[i]), {'name': files[i]});

}

//Packaging < br / >
zipArchiver.finalize();

Very simple to complete the packaging function.
