Properties

bufferedWrite?: boolean

true to write entry data in a buffer before appending it to the zip file.

bufferedWrite is automatically set to true when compressing more than one entry in parallel.

false
comment?: string

The comment of the entry.

compressionMethod?: number

The compression method (e.g. 8 for DEFLATE, 0 for STORE).

creationDate?: Date

The creation date.

This option is ignored if the ZipWriterConstructorOptions#extendedTimestamp option is set to false.

The current date.
dataDescriptor?: boolean

true to add a data descriptor.

When set to false, the ZipWriterConstructorOptions#bufferedWrite option will automatically be set to true.

true
dataDescriptorSignature?: boolean

true to add the signature of the data descriptor.

false
directory?: boolean

true if the entry is a directory.

false
encrypted?: boolean

true to write encrypted data when passThrough is set to true.

encryptionStrength?: 1 | 2 | 3

The encryption strength (AES).

3
extendedTimestamp?: boolean

true to store extended timestamp extra fields.

When set to false, the maximum last modification date cannot exceed November 31, 2107 and the maximum accuracy is 2 seconds.

true
externalFileAttribute?: number

The external file attribute.

0
extraField?: Map<number, Uint8Array>

The extra field of the entry.

internalFileAttribute?: number

The internal file attribute.

0
keepOrder?: boolean

true to keep the order of the entry physically in the zip file.

When set to true, the use of web workers will be improved. However, it also prevents files larger than 4GB from being created without setting the zip64 option to true explicitly. Another solution to improve the use of web workers is to add entries from smallest to largest in uncompressed size.

true
lastAccessDate?: Date

The last access date.

This option is ignored if the ZipWriterConstructorOptions#extendedTimestamp option is set to false.

The current date.
lastModDate?: Date

The last modification date.

The current date.
level?: number

The level of compression.

The minimum value is 0 and means that no compression is applied. The maximum value is 9.

5
msDosCompatible?: boolean

true to write EntryMetaData#externalFileAttribute in MS-DOS format for folder entries.

true
offset?: number

The offset of the first entry in the zip file.

passThrough?: boolean

true to write the data as-is without compressing it and without crypting it.

password?: string

The password used to encrypt the content of the entry.

preventClose?: boolean

true to prevent closing of WritableWriter#writable.

false
rawPassword?: Uint8Array

The password used to encrypt the content of the entry (raw).

signal?: AbortSignal

The AbortSignal instance used to cancel the compression.

signature?: number

The signature (CRC32 checksum) of the content. This option is ignored if the ZipWriterConstructorOptions#passThrough option is not set to true.

supportZip64SplitFile?: boolean

false to never write disk numbers in zip64 data.

true
uncompressedSize?: number

The uncompressed size of the entry. This option is ignored if the ZipWriterConstructorOptions#passThrough option is not set to true.

usdz?: boolean

trueto produce zip files compatible with the USDZ specification.

false
useCompressionStream?: boolean

true to use the native API CompressionStream/DecompressionStream to compress/decompress data.

true
useUnicodeFileNames?: boolean

true to mark the file names as UTF-8 setting the general purpose bit 11 in the header (see Appendix D - Language Encoding (EFS)), false to mark the names as compliant with the original IBM Code Page 437.

Note that this does not ensure that the file names are in the correct encoding.

true
useWebWorkers?: boolean

true to use web workers to compress/decompress data in non-blocking background processes.

true
version?: number

The "Version" field.

versionMadeBy?: number

The "Version made by" field.

20
zip64?: boolean

true to use Zip64 to store the entry.

zip64 is automatically set to true when necessary (e.g. compressed data larger than 4GB or with unknown size).

false
zipCrypto?: boolean

true to use the ZipCrypto algorithm to encrypt the content of the entry.

It is not recommended to set zipCrypto to true because the ZipCrypto encryption can be easily broken.

false
