How to unpack an .asar file?

I have packed my Electron application using the following command:

asar pack app app.asar

Now, I need to unpack it and get the whole code back. Is there any way to do so?

From the asar documentation

(the use of npx here is to avoid to installing the @electron/asar tool globally with npm install -g @electron/asar)

Extract the whole archive:

npx @electron/asar extract app.asar <destfolder>

Extract a particular file:

npx @electron/asar extract-file app.asar main.js
