Readme

node-gzip
Gzip and ungzip in Node.js
Tiny and easy to use wrapper around zlib.gzip and zlib.gunzip to support promises. ```js const compressed = await gzip('Hello World'); ```

Install

```sh npm install node-gzip --save ```

Examples

With Promises

```js const {gzip, ungzip} = require('node-gzip'); gzip('Hello World') .then((compressed) => {
return ungzip(compressed);
}) .then((decompressed) => {
console.log(decompressed.toString());     //Hello World
}); ```

With async / await

```js const {gzip, ungzip} = require('node-gzip'); const compressed = await gzip('Hello World'); const decompressed = await ungzip(compressed); console.log(decompressed.toString()); //Hello World ```

Options

Pass options just like with Zlib. See all options. ```js await gzip('Hello World', {...}); ```

Description

gzip(input,options)

  • input: Buffer | TypedArray | DataView | ArrayBuffer | string
  • returns: Buffer

ungzip(input,options)

  • input: Buffer | TypedArray | DataView | ArrayBuffer | string
  • returns: Buffer
Use toString() after ungzip to convert the Buffer into a string. Supports Node.js version 0.12 and higher. ---
