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 🙏

runzip

v0.0.4

Published

Recursive Unzip

Readme

Runzip

a recursive unzip for node, built on top of yauzl

NPM

Usage

var unzip = require("runzip");
var fs = require("fs");
var mkdirp = require("mkdirp");

function isZip(entry) {
  return /\.(zip|jar)$/.test(entry.fileName);
}

runzip.open("path/to/file.zip", { filter: isZip }, function(err, zipfile) {
  if (err) throw err;
  zipfile.on("entry", function(entry) {
    if (/\/$/.test(entry.fileName)) {
      // directory file names end with '/'
      return;
    }
    entry.openReadStream(function(err, readStream) {
      if (err) throw err;
      // entry.nestedPath is an array of the recursively nested zip filenames
      var outputDir = entry.nestedPath.join("/");
      // ensure the output directory exists
      mkdirp(outputDir);
      readStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(outputDir + "/" + entry.fileName));
    });
  });
});

API

The API provided is the same as yauzl, but with an additional filter option. The filter option should be a function that takes the zipfile entry object and produces a boolean indicating whether it is a nested zipfile. The default value is:

function(entry) {
  return /\.zip$/.test(entry.fileName);
}

open(path, [options], [callback])

Just like yauzl, but with an additional filter option.

fromFd(fd, [options], [callback])

Just like yauzl, but with an additional filter option.

fromBuffer(buffer, [options], [callback])

Just like yauzl, but with an additional argument that is an options object accepting a filter option.

Class: ZipFile

Same as yauzl, but each Entry has an additional nestedPath property.

Class: Entry

Same as yauzl, but with an additional property and an additional method.

nestedPath

Array of strings. This array contains the stack of filenames of the recursively nested zip files containing this entry.

openReadStream(callback)

Produces a readable stream for this entry's contents, similar to zipfile.openReadStream(entry, callback) in yauzl.
