Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

node-stream-zip-iconv

v1.12.0

Published

在 node-stream-zip 基础上增加可指定文件名编码.Specify file name encoding(default utf8). Fork from node-stream-zip(node.js library for reading and extraction of ZIP archives)

Readme

fork reason

我现在的工作会涉及到一些 gbk 编码文件名的压缩包,原版 node-stream-zip 并没有提供相关的 encoding 选项
所以在此之上我增加了 encoding 选项,并且默认值为 'utf8',可以通过初始化参数指定 'encoding' (支持的编码请参考 https://www.npmjs.com/package/iconv-lite )

My major work need to resolve some compressed packages of gbk-encoded file names. The original node-stream-zip did not provide the relevant encoding options, so I added the encoding option, and the default encoding is 'utf8', which can be initialized by parameter Specify 'encoding' (Please refer to https://www.npmjs.com/package/iconv-lite for supported encodings)

const StreamZip = require('node-stream-zip');
const zip = new StreamZip({
    file: 'archive.zip',
    storeEntries: true,
    encoding: 'gbk' // default utf8.
});

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

Unit test

原版的单元测试是失效的,有几个用例无法通过,因为个人精力有限,并没有维护单元测试的打算

The original unit tests were invalid and several use cases failed. I had no intention of maintaining the unit tests due to my limited energy.

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

$ npm install node-stream-zip

Usage

Open a zip file

const StreamZip = require('node-stream-zip');
const zip = new StreamZip({
    file: 'archive.zip',
    storeEntries: true
});

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

List entries

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

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

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

zip.on('ready', () => {
    fs.mkdirSync('extracted');
    zip.extract('path/inside/zip/', './extracted', err => {
        console.log(err ? 'Extract error' : 'Extracted');
        zip.close();
    });
});

Extract everything

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

zip.on('ready', () => {
    const data = zip.entryDataSync('path/inside/zip.txt');
    zip.close();
});

When extracting a folder, you can listen to extract event

zip.on('extract', (entry, file) => {
    console.log(`Extracted ${entry.name} to ${file}`);
});

entry event is generated for every entry during loading

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

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:
$ npm test

Known issues

  • utf8 file names
  • AES encrypted files
