extract-zip

An extremely lightweight cross-platform command-line utility to extract a zip file into a target directory.

More specifically, this project is a thin wrapper that provides a minimal command-line interface to a slightly modified fork of the adm-zip library.

Installation

npm install --global "@warren-bank/extract-zip"

Usage

extract-zip "/path/to/file.zip" ["/path/to/target/directory"] ["/path/to/directory/in/zip/to/extract"]

• ["/path/to/target/directory"]
  • If not specified, the target directory will default to the current working directory.
• ["/path/to/directory/in/zip/to/extract"]
  • If not specified, the root directory in the zip will be recursively extracted.
  • If the path to a directory within the zip is specified, then only this directory will be recursively extracted.

Use Case

• my intended purpose for this utility is its usage in npm scripts
• do with it as you like…
