  • file - Path/To/File/Or/Folder
  • options - Compression options in a JS object format (Key:"value")

Use Example

To Zip a folder

    var PathToFileInString  = cordova.file.externalRootDirectory+"HereIsMyFolder",
        PathToResultZip     = cordova.file.externalRootDirectory;
    JJzip.zip(PathToFileInString, {target:PathToResultZip,name:"SuperZip"},function(data){
        /* Wow everiting goes good, but just in case verify data.success*/
    },function(error){
        /* Wow something goes wrong, check the error.message */
    })

Or To UnZip

    var PathToFileInString  = cordova.file.externalRootDirectory+"HereIsMyFile.zip",
        PathToResultZip     = cordova.file.externalRootDirectory;
    JJzip.unzip(PathToFileInString, {target:PathToResultZip},function(data){
        /* Wow everything goes good, but just in case verify data.success */
    },function(error){
        /* Wow something goes wrong, check the error.message */
    })

There is a big TODO list, but in resume

• Write a better documentation
• Add iOS Support (Partial support, only unzip)
• Should handle some file manipulation (Like remove after zip the file?)
