Node Rar Addon

Node Rar Addon for reading RAR archives using the bundled UnRAR library.

This extension uses a modified version of the UnRAR library. The UnRAR library is an official open-source library by RARLabs, an auto generated subset of the RAR codebase. It is available from http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm Please note that it has a more restrictive license than the NodeJS bindings, barring using it to re-create the RAR compression algorithm. See vendor/unrar/LICENSE.txt for details.

Some modifications have been applied to the UnRAR library, mainly to allow streaming extraction of files without using threads.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install node-rar

var rar = require('node-rar');

/// list archive entries
rar.list('path/to/file.rar', 'optional password');
// => [entries]

/// test archive entries
rar.test('path/to/file.rar', 'dir/to/test', 'optional password');
// => [entries]

/// extract archive entries
rar.extract('path/to/file.rar', 'dir/to/extract', 'optional password');
// => [entries]

Install with cli command

$ npm install -g node-rar
$ node-rar --help
$ node-rar --version

Documentation

在开发一个Web字幕的应用的时候需要解压rar字幕文件，但是NodeJS没有rar解压的库。 有几个rar解压的库仅仅是封装了unrar命令行工具实现的，在很多的云环境上都用不起来。 所以我花了几天的时间利用unrar的源码开发了一个NodeJS插件。 插件的实现参考了php-rar的代码，采用了php-rar的测试用例。 插件目前还只是简单封装了unrar的接口，后面如果有需要可以在此基础上扩展。

Todo

• [x] 实现rar文件查看，测试和解压。
• [ ] 支持分卷解压，多文件密码等。
• [x] 兼容支持NodeJS的云平台。
• [x] 发布到NPM上。
• [ ] 兼容Windows，Linux和MacOSX。
