An easy to use Go Library for creating and extracting compressed files
go get github.com/johnolafenwa/gozip
package main
import "github.com/johnolafenwa/gozip/writer"
func main(){
zipWriter,_ := writer.New("Output.zip")
zipWriter.AddFolder("path-to-folder","")
zipWriter.Save()
}
package main
import "github.com/johnolafenwa/gozip/reader"
func main(){
zipReader, _ := reader.New("path-to-zip-file")
zipReader.ExtractTo("Destination-Path")
zipReader.Close()
}
The Writer supports adding both individual files and folders to a single archive, you can also set the name property to customize the path in the archive where the file will be stored.
package main
import "github.com/johnolafenwa/gozip/writer"
func main(){
zipWriter,_ := writer.New("MyFiles.zip")
//add a single file
zipWriter.AddFile("path-to-file/file1.txt","file1.txt")
//add a single file, infer name from path
zipWriter.AddFile("path-to-file/file2.txt","")
//add a folder
zipWriter.AddFolder("path-to-folder/FolderOne","FolderOne")
//add a folder, infer name from path
zipWriter.AddFolder("path-to-folder/FolderTwo","")
zipWriter.Save()
}
The writer supports two modes for writing zip archives; Store and Deflate. If you want the files compressed, use Store.
zipWriter,_ := writer.New("MyFiles.zip")
zipWriter.SetMethod(writer.Deflate)
