Archflow

https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT

Features

• Stream on the fly an archive from multiple AsyncRead objects.
• Single read / seek free implementation (the CRC and file size are calculated while streaming and are sent afterwards).
• tokio AsyncRead / AsyncWrite and AsyncSeek compatible.
• std::io Read / Write and Seek compatible

Support the following compression formats:

• stored (i.e. none)
• deflate
• bzip2
• zstd
• xz

Todos

• implement zip64
• implement some zip features (unix time, file comments, ...)
• add more cargo features like for compressors selection

Examples

• How to create a zip archive
• How to stream an aschive with Hyper .

A library for creating ZIP archives in one pass. This is useful when when it is not possible to seek in the output such as stdout or a data stream.

ZIP is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression. A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms, though DEFLATE is the most common. This format was originally created in 1989 and was first implemented in PKWARE, Inc.'s PKZIP utility

The current implementation is based on

PKWARE’s APPNOTE.TXT v6.3.10

Examples

File system

A simple example to create an archive file using [tokio::fs::File]

 use archflow::{
 compress::FileOptions, compress::tokio::archive::ZipArchive, compression::CompressionMethod,
 error::ArchiveError,
 };

 use tokio::fs::File;

 #[tokio::main]
 async fn main() -> Result<(), ArchiveError> {
 let file = File::create("archive.zip").await?;

 let options = FileOptions::default().compression_method(CompressionMethod::Deflate());

 let mut archive = ZipArchive::new_streamable(file);
 archive.append("file1.txt", &options, &mut b"hello\n".as_ref()).await?;

 let options = options.compression_method(CompressionMethod::Store());
 archive.append("file2.txt", &options, &mut b"world\n".as_ref()).await?;

 archive.finalize().await?;

 Ok(())
 }

Actix

Stream a zip archive as a actix response:

 use std::path::Path;

 use actix_web::http::header::ContentDisposition;
 use actix_web::{get, App, HttpResponse, HttpServer};
 use archflow::compress::tokio::archive::ZipArchive;
 use archflow::compress::FileOptions;
 use archflow::compression::CompressionMethod;
 use archflow::types::FileDateTime;
 use tokio::fs::File;
 use tokio::io::duplex;

 use tokio_util::io::ReaderStream;

 #[get("/zip")]
 async fn zip_archive() -> HttpResponse {
     let (w, r) = duplex(4096);
     let options = FileOptions::default()
         .last_modified_time(FileDateTime::Now)
         .compression_method(CompressionMethod::Deflate());

     tokio::spawn(async move {
         let mut archive = ZipArchive::new_streamable(w);

         let file_path = Path::new("./tests/resources/lorem_ipsum.txt");

         let mut file = File::open(file_path).await.unwrap();
         archive
             .append("ipsum_deflate.txt", &options, &mut file)
             .await
             .unwrap();

         archive
             .append("file1.txt", &options, &mut b"world\n".as_ref())
             .await
             .unwrap();

         archive
             .append("file2.txt", &options, &mut b"world\n".as_ref())
             .await
             .unwrap();

         let mut f = File::open(file_path).await.unwrap();
         let options = options.compression_method(CompressionMethod::BZip2());
         archive
             .append("ipsum_bz.txt", &options, &mut f)
             .await
             .unwrap();

         let mut f = File::open(file_path).await.unwrap();
         let options = options.compression_method(CompressionMethod::Xz());
         archive
             .append("ipsum_xz.txt", &options, &mut f)
             .await
             .unwrap();

         archive.finalize().await.unwrap();
     });

     HttpResponse::Ok()
         .insert_header(("Content-Type", "application/zip"))
         .insert_header(ContentDisposition::attachment("myzip.zip"))
         .streaming(ReaderStream::new(r))
 }

 #[actix_web::main]
 async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
     let address = "127.0.0.1";
     let port = 8081;

     println!("Test url is http://{}:{}/zip", address, port);

     HttpServer::new(|| App::new().service(zip_archive))
         .bind((address, port))?
         .run()
         .await
 }

Hyper

Stream a zip archive as a hyper response:

 use archflow::{
 compress::tokio::archive::ZipArchive, compress::FileOptions, compression::CompressionMethod,
 types::FileDateTime,
 };
 use hyper::service::{make_service_fn, service_fn};
 use hyper::{header, Body, Request, Response, Server, StatusCode};
 use tokio::io::duplex;
 use tokio_util::io::ReaderStream;

 async fn zip_archive(_req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, hyper::http::Error> {
     let (w, r) = duplex(4096);
     let options = FileOptions::default()
         .compression_method(CompressionMethod::Deflate())
         .last_modified_time(FileDateTime::Now);
     tokio::spawn(async move {
         let mut archive = ZipArchive::new_streamable(w);
         archive
             .append("file1.txt", &options, &mut b"world\n".as_ref())
             .await
             .unwrap();
         archive
             .append("file2.txt", &options, &mut b"world\n".as_ref())
             .await
             .unwrap();
         archive.finalize().await.unwrap();
     });

     Response::builder()
         .status(StatusCode::OK)
         .header(header::CONTENT_TYPE, "application/zip")
         .body(Body::wrap_stream(ReaderStream::new(r)))
 }

 #[tokio::main]
 async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>> {
     let address = ([127, 0, 0, 1], 8081).into();
     let service =
         make_service_fn(|_| async { Ok::<_, hyper::http::Error>(service_fn(zip_archive)) });
     let server = Server::bind(&address).serve(service);

     println!("Listening on http://{}", address);
     server.await?;

     Ok(())
 }
