Inspect and uncompress zipfile archives in Node.js

node-zipfile

Bindings to libzip for handling zipfile archives in node.

Example

var zipfile = require('zipfile');
var zf = new zipfile.ZipFile('./test/data/world_merc.zip');
zf
{ names: [ 'world_merc.dbf', 'world_merc.prj', 'world_merc.shp', 'world_merc.shx' ],
  count: 4 }
var buffer = zf.readFileSync('world_merc.prj');
buffer.toString()
'PROJCS["Google Maps Global Mercator",GEOGCS .... '

Depends

• Node >= 0.6.13
• optionally depends on external libzip (by default builds against bundled version)

Installation

You can install the latest tag via npm:

npm install zipfile

Or install from github master:

git clone git://github.com/springmeyer/node-zipfile.git
cd node-zipfile
npm install

Dynamically linking against libzip

node-zipfile depends on libzip, but by default bundles a copy in deps/ which is statically linked.

If you want to use an external libzip first install it:

Debian:

sudo apt-get install libzip-dev libzip1

OS X:

brew install libzip

Then configure node-zipfile with the --shared_libzip option:

npm install --shared_libzip

If you installed libzip in a custom location then configure like:

npm install --shared_libzip --shared_libzip_includes=/opt/local/include --shared_libzip_libpath=/opt/local/lib
