Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

zip-a-folder

Easy to use zip (or tar) a complete folder plain into a zip file including compression ratio handling and custom write streams.

Basic Usage

Install via npm

npm install zip-a-folder

Creating a ZIP file

import { zip } from 'zip-a-folder';

class TestMe {

    static async main() {
        await zip('/path/to/the/folder', '/path/to/archive.zip');
    }
}

TestMe.main();

Creating a gzipped TAR file

import { tar } from 'zip-a-folder';

class TestMe {

    static async main() {
        await tar('/path/to/the/folder', '/path/to/archive.tgz');
    }
}

TestMe.main();

Compression handling

For the sake of easy use, supported compression levels are (by now): COMPRESSION_LEVEL.high, COMPRESSION_LEVEL.medium or COMPRESSION_LEVEL.uncompressed.

The default compression - level is high.

import { zip, COMPRESSION_LEVEL } from 'zip-a-folder';

class TestMe {

    static async main() {
        await zip('/path/to/the/folder', '/path/to/archive.zip', {compression: COMPRESSION_LEVEL.high});
    }
}

TestMe.main();

Custom writeStreams

You can now pipe output to any WriteStream (just pass WriteStream as a parameter).

To keep the existing api stable the 2nd parameter (targetFilePath) can now be either undefined or an empty string.

ATTENTION: customWritestreams cannot be checked. So it is up to the user to check on non existing target folders or if the targetfolder equals to the sourcefolder (which leads to a circularity).

import { zip, COMPRESSION_LEVEL } from 'zip-a-folder';
import { fs } from 'fs';

class TestMe {
    static async main() {
        const customWS = fs.createWriteStream('test/1234.zip');
        await zipafolder.zip(path.resolve(__dirname, 'data/'), undefined, {customWriteStream: customWS});    
    }
}

TestMe.main();

Tests

Tests can be found in /test and run by jest. To run the tests call npm test.
