# asar
This crate allows for the parsing, reading, and writing of [asar](https://github.com/electron/asar) archives,
often seen in [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/)-based applications.
## Examples
### Listing the contents of an asar archive
```rust
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
```rust
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
```rust
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`.
