About Rx7z

Rx7z installs the latest 7zip from 7zip.org for Windows. Other operating systems (p7zip) have not been configured yet. Plans for an assumed global installation of (p)7zip via configuration is on the table for discussion.

For simplicity sake i took a redux-ish approach because i would like to implement compression ques and other features in the future.

Example

let rx7 = new Rx7z();
let files = [
    `${path.join('c:/','path','tofiles')}*.txt`,
    `${path.join('c:/','path','tofiles')}*.jpg`
];
rx7.Manager.subscribe((action: Rx7zActions) => {
    switch (action.type) {
        case Rx7zActionType.CreateArchiveProgress: {
            // contains the string value of percentage complete.
            console.log(action);
        }
        case Rx7zActionType.CreateArchiveCurrentFile: {
            // do something when current file changes.
            console.log(action);
        }
        case Rx7zActionType.CreateArchiveError: {
            console.log(action);
        }
        case Rx7zActionType.CreateArchiveFailure: {
            // do something if it fails.
        }
        case Rx7zActionType.CreateArchiveSuccess: {
            // Do something when its done.
        }
        default:
            break;
    }
})

// Dispatch the action to create an archive with the files passed in.
rx7.Archive.createArchive('./test.7z', ...files);

// Dispatch the action to create an archive with the files passed in.
rx7.dispatch(new CreateArchiveAction('output/path/to/archive.7z', files));
