Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Zip
A Swift framework for zipping and unzipping files. Simple and quick to use. Built on top of minizip.
Usage
Import Zip at the top of the Swift file.
import ZipQuick functions
The easiest way to use Zip is through quick functions. Both take local file paths as NSURLs, throw if an error is encountered and return an NSURL to the destination if successful.
do {
let filePath = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "file", withExtension: "zip")!
let unzipDirectory = try Zip.quickUnzipFile(filePath) // Unzip
let zipFilePath = try Zip.quickZipFiles([filePath], fileName: "archive") // Zip
}
catch {
print("Something went wrong")
}Advanced Zip
For more advanced usage, Zip has functions that let you set custom destination paths, work with password protected zips and use a progress handling closure. These functions throw if there is an error but don't return.
do {
let filePath = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "file", withExtension: "zip")!
let documentsDirectory = FileManager.default.urls(for:.documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
try Zip.unzipFile(filePath, destination: documentsDirectory, overwrite: true, password: "password", progress: { (progress) -> () in
print(progress)
}) // Unzip
let zipFilePath = documentsFolder.appendingPathComponent("archive.zip")
try Zip.zipFiles([filePath], zipFilePath: zipFilePath, password: "password", progress: { (progress) -> () in
print(progress)
}) //Zip
}
catch {
print("Something went wrong")
}Custom File Extensions
Zip supports '.zip' and '.cbz' files out of the box. To support additional zip-derivative file extensions:
Zip.addCustomFileExtension("file-extension-here")[Preferred] Setting up with Swift Package Manager
To use Zip with Swift Package Manager, add it to your package's dependencies:
.package(url: "https://github.com/marmelroy/Zip.git", .upToNextMinor(from: "2.1"))Setting up with CocoaPods
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
pod 'Zip', '~> 2.1'Setting up with Carthage
To integrate Zip into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:
github "marmelroy/Zip" ~> 2.1
