Stream Zip Archives

A module to stream the contents of ZIP archives through a HTTP server.

This module is based on unzipper by @ZJONSSON, it currently does not support partial zip deflating and multi part zip files.

Run the Server

npm install
npm start

HTTP server routes are explained in the Router docs

Programatic Usage

Router

const zipHttp = require('zip-http')
const express = require('express')

const app = express()

app.use(zipHttp.router())

const port = process.env.PORT || 7879

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`http://127.0.0.1:${port}/stream`)
})

This adds the following routes:

• /create - POST - expects an array of URLs to ZIP files, replies with {"key":"fiql"}
• /stream - GET - expects a key= (key from /create), it also supports o= for a JSON stringified list of Options

Streams

const fs = require('fs')
const zipHttp = require('zip-http')

async function getZipStream() {
	const key = zipHttp.create([
		'http://test.com/file.zip'
	])

	const file = await zipHttp.file(key, {
		fileMustInclude: ['Lorem Ipsum'],
		maxFiles: 1
	})

	file
	.createReadStream()
	.pipe(
		fs.createWriteStream(`./${file.name}`)
	)
}

getRarStream()

• zipHttp.create() requires an array of strings with HTTP(s) URLs to ZIP files, it return a key which is meant to be used with the .file() method

• zipHttp.file(key, opts) supports the same Options as the /stream endpoint, key is required, but opts is optional

Options

Options:

{
	"fileIdx": 1,
	"fileMustInclude": ["/dexter/i", "the hulk"]
}

• fileIdx - integer - selects the file that matches the index in the ZIP archive
• fileMustInclude - array of strings (can also be RegExp string) - selects the first file that includes any of the matches
