artichoke

:package: Unix archiver (ar) implementation with Node.js.

Install

• npm install ssp-artichoke --production

Tests

If you want to run the tests, install without --production flag and then install Mocha and standard globally:

• npm install -g mocha
• npm install -g standard

Then run tests with:

• npm test

Usage

'use strict'

const artichoke = require('ssp-artichoke')
let options = {native: true, verbose: false}
artichoke.createArchive('my_archive.ar', ['package.json', 'GPL-LICENSE', 'MIT-LICENSE'], options)

The omittable options object has parameters to force use of the native add-on (i.e. prompt a message on fallback) and whether to use verbose output on creation of archive.
