I want to zip some data into a writableStream.
the purpose is to do all in memory and not to create an actual zip file on disk.
For testing only, i'm creating a ZIP file on disk. But when I try to open output.zip i get the following error: "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged". (WinZip at Windows 7 and also a similar error on MAC)
What am I doing wrong?
const fs = require('fs'),
archiver = require('archiver'),
streamBuffers = require('stream-buffers');
let outputStreamBuffer = new streamBuffers.WritableStreamBuffer({
initialSize: (1000 * 1024), // start at 1000 kilobytes.
incrementAmount: (1000 * 1024) // grow by 1000 kilobytes each time buffer overflows.
});
let archive = archiver('zip', {
zlib: { level: 9 } // Sets the compression level.
});
archive.pipe(outputStreamBuffer);
archive.append("this is a test", { name: "test.txt"});
archive.finalize();
outputStreamBuffer.end();
fs.writeFile('output.zip', outputStreamBuffer.getContents(), function() { console.log('done!'); });
