asar

This crate allows for the parsing, reading, and writing of asar archives, often seen in Electron-based applications.

Examples

Listing the contents of an asar archive

use asar::{AsarReader, Header, Result};
use std::fs;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
	let asar_file = fs::read("archive.asar")?;
	let asar = AsarReader::new(&asar_file)?;

	println!("There are {} files in archive.asar", asar.files().len());
	for path in asar.files().keys() {
		println!("{}", path.display());
	}
	Ok(())
}

Reading a file from an asar archive

use asar::{AsarReader, Header, Result};
use std::{fs, path::PathBuf};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
	let asar_file = fs::read("archive.asar")?;
	let asar = AsarReader::new(&asar_file)?;

	let path = PathBuf::from("hello.txt");
	let file = asar.files().get(&path).unwrap();
	let contents = std::str::from_utf8(file.data()).unwrap();
	assert_eq!(contents, "Hello, World!");
	Ok(())
}

Writing a file to an asar archive

use asar::{AsarWriter, Result};
use std::fs::File;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
	let mut asar = AsarWriter::new();
	asar.write_file("hello.txt", b"Hello, World!", false)?;
	asar.finalize(File::create("archive.asar")?)?;
	Ok(())
}

Features

• integrity: Enable integrity checks/calculation.
• check-integrity-on-read: Enable integrity checks when reading an archive, failing if any integrity check fails.
• write - Enable writing an asar archive. Enabled by default, also enables integrity.
