Archive::Zip - ZIP Archival Made Easy

Simple, extensible, pure Ruby ZIP archive support.

Basic archive creation and extraction can be handled using only a few methods. More complex operations involving the manipulation of existing archives in place (adding, removing, and modifying entries) are also possible with a little more work. Even adding advanced features such as new compression codecs are supported with a moderate amount of effort.

Archive::Zip provides a simple Ruby-esque interface to creating, extracting, and updating ZIP archives. This implementation is 100% Ruby and loosely modeled on the archive creation and extraction capabilities of InfoZip's zip and unzip tools.

• 100% native Ruby. (Well, almost... depends on zlib.)
• Archive creation and extraction is supported with only a few lines of code.
• Archives can be updated "in place" or dumped out to other files or pipes.
• Files, symlinks, and directories are supported within archives.
• Unix permission/mode bits are supported.
• Unix user and group ownerships are supported.
• Unix last accessed and last modified times are supported.
• Entry extension (AKA extra field) implementations can be added on the fly.
• Unknown entry extension types are preserved during archive processing.
• The Deflate and Store compression codecs are supported out of the box.
• More compression codecs can be added on the fly.
• Traditional (weak) encryption is supported out of the box.

• More testcases are needed.
• All file entries are archived and extracted in binary mode. No attempt is made to normalize text files to the line ending convention of any target system.
• Hard links and device files are not currently supported within archives.
• Reading archives from non-seekable IO, such as pipes and sockets, is not supported.
• MSDOS permission attributes are not supported.
• Strong encryption is not supported.
• Zip64 is not supported.
• Digital signatures are not supported.

More examples can be found in the examples directory of the source distribution.

Create a few archives:

require 'archive/zip'

# Add a_directory and its contents to example1.zip.
Archive::Zip.archive('example1.zip', 'a_directory')

# Add the contents of a_directory to example2.zip.
Archive::Zip.archive('example2.zip', 'a_directory/.')

# Add a_file and a_directory and its contents to example3.zip.
Archive::Zip.archive('example3.zip', ['a_directory', 'a_file'])

# Add only the files and symlinks contained in a_directory under the path
# a/b/c/a_directory in example4.zip.
Archive::Zip.archive(
  'example4.zip',
  'a_directory',
  :directories => false,
  :path_prefix => 'a/b/c'
)

# Add the contents of a_directory to example5.zip and encrypt Ruby source
# files.
require 'archive/zip/codec/null_encryption'
require 'archive/zip/codec/traditional_encryption'
Archive::Zip.archive(
  'example5.zip',
  'a_directory/.',
  :encryption_codec => lambda do |entry|
    if entry.file? and entry.zip_path =~ /\.rb$/ then
      Archive::Zip::Codec::TraditionalEncryption
    else
      Archive::Zip::Codec::NullEncryption
    end
  end,
  :password => 'seakrit'
)

# Create a new archive which will be written to a pipe.
# Assume $stdout is the write end a pipe.
# (ruby example.rb | cat >example.zip)
Archive::Zip.open($stdout, :w) do |z|
  z.archive('a_directory')
end

Now extract those archives:

require 'archive/zip'

# Extract example1.zip to a_destination.
Archive::Zip.extract('example1.zip', 'a_destination')

# Extract example2.zip to a_destination, skipping directory entries.
Archive::Zip.extract(
  'example2.zip',
  'a_destination',
  :directories => false
)

# Extract example3.zip to a_destination, skipping symlinks.
Archive::Zip.extract(
  'example3.zip',
  'a_destination',
  :symlinks => false
)

# Extract example4.zip to a_destination, skipping entries for which files
# already exist but are newer or for which files do not exist at all.
Archive::Zip.extract(
  'example4.zip',
  'a_destination',
  :create => false,
  :overwrite => :older
)

# Extract example5.zip to a_destination, decrypting the contents.
Archive::Zip.extract(
  'example5.zip',
  'a_destination',
  :password => 'seakrit'
)

• Add test cases for all classes.
• Add support for using non-seekable IO objects as archive sources.
• Add support for 0x5855 and 0x7855 extra fields.

• io-like

Download the GEM file and install it with:

$ gem install archive-zip-VERSION.gem

or directly with:

$ gem install archive-zip

Removal is the same in either case:

$ gem uninstall archive-zip

After checking out the source, run:

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake test yard

This will install all dependencies, run the tests/specs, and generate the documentation.

Thanks to all contributors. Without your help this project would not exist.

1. Clone the repository.
2. Fix a bug or add a feature.
3. Add tests for the fix or feature.
4. Make a pull request.

The following points are not necessarily set in stone but should rather be used as a good guideline. Consistency is the goal of coding style, and changes will be more easily accepted if they are consistent with the rest of the code.

• File Encoding
  • UTF-8
• Indentation
  • Two spaces; no tabs
• Line length
  • Limit lines to a maximum of 80 characters
• Comments
  • Document classes, attributes, methods, and code
• Method Calls with Arguments
  • Use a_method(arg, arg, etc); not a_method( arg, arg, etc ), a_method arg, arg, etc, or any other variation
• Method Calls without Arguments
  • Use a_method; avoid parenthesis
• String Literals
  • Use single quotes by default
  • Use double quotes when interpolation is necessary
  • Use %{...} and similar when embedding the quoting character is cumbersome
• Blocks
  • do ... end for multi-line blocks and { ... } for single-line blocks
• Boolean Operators
  • Use && and || for boolean tests; avoid and and or
• In General
  • Try to follow the flow and style of the rest of the code
