Is it possible to archive multiple directories when you know their paths? Let's say: ['/dir1','dir2', .., 'dirX']
. What I am doing now, is to copying directories in a single directory, let's say: /dirToZip
and do the following:
var archive = archiver.create('zip', {});
archive.on('error', function(err){
throw err;
});
archive.directory('/dirToZip','').finalize();
Is there an approach to append directories into the archive and not with a specific pattern that bulk requires? Thanks in advance!
To everyone with the same issue, what finally worked for me is: lets say you have the following structure:
/Users/x/Desktop/tmp
| __ dir1
| __ dir2
| __ dir3
var baseDir = '/Users/x/Desktop/tmp/';
var dirNames = ['dir1','dir2','dir3']; //directories to zip
var archive = archiver.create('zip', {});
archive.on('error', function(err){
throw err;
});
var output = fs.createWriteStream('/testDir/myZip.zip'); //path to create .zip file
output.on('close', function() {
console.log(archive.pointer() + ' total bytes');
console.log('archiver has been finalized and the output file descriptor has closed.');
});
archive.pipe(output);
dirNames.forEach(function(dirName) {
// 1st argument is the path to directory
// 2nd argument is how to be structured in the archive (thats what i was missing!)
archive.directory(baseDir + dirName, dirName);
});
archive.finalize();
