What is extract-zip?

The extract-zip npm package is a cross-platform library that allows users to extract the contents of ZIP archives. It provides a simple API to unzip files and directories, supporting both callback and promise-based workflows.

What are extract-zip's main functionalities?

Extract entire ZIP archive

This feature allows users to extract all contents of a ZIP file to a specified directory. The code sample demonstrates how to use the package with async/await to extract an archive.

const extract = require('extract-zip');

async function extractZip(zipPath, outputPath) {
  try {
    await extract(zipPath, { dir: outputPath });
    console.log('Extraction complete');
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('An error occurred:', err);
  }
}

extractZip('path/to/archive.zip', 'path/to/extract');

Extract ZIP archive with options

This feature allows users to extract a ZIP file with additional options, such as providing a callback for each entry. The code sample shows how to skip a specific file during extraction.

const extract = require('extract-zip');

extract('path/to/archive.zip', { dir: 'path/to/extract', onEntry: (entry, zipfile) => {
  if (entry.fileName === 'unwanted_file.txt') {
    zipfile.readEntry();
  }
}}, function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error extracting zip', err);
    return;
  }
  console.log('Extraction part of zip complete');
});
