require 'zip' # This is a simple example which uses rubyzip to # recursively generate a zip file from the contents of # a specified directory. The directory itself is not # included in the archive, rather just its contents. # # Usage: # directory_to_zip = "/tmp/input" # output_file = "/tmp/out.zip" # zf = ZipFileGenerator.new(directory_to_zip, output_file) # zf.write() class ZipFileGenerator # Initialize with the directory to zip and the location of the output archive. def initialize(input_dir, output_file) @input_dir = input_dir @output_file = output_file end # Zip the input directory. def write entries = Dir.entries(@input_dir) - %w[. ..] ::Zip::File.open(@output_file, ::Zip::File::CREATE) do |zipfile| write_entries entries, '', zipfile end end def extract_zip FileUtils.mkdir_p(@output_file) Zip::File.open(@input_dir) do |zip_file| zip_file.each do |f| fpath = File.join(@output_file, f.name) zip_file.extract(f, fpath) unless File.exist?(fpath) end end end private # A helper method to make the recursion work. def write_entries(entries, path, zipfile) entries.each do |e| zipfile_path = path == '' ? e : File.join(path, e) disk_file_path = File.join(@input_dir, zipfile_path) if File.directory? disk_file_path recursively_deflate_directory(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path) else put_into_archive(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path) end end end def recursively_deflate_directory(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path) zipfile.mkdir zipfile_path subdir = Dir.entries(disk_file_path) - %w[. ..] write_entries subdir, zipfile_path, zipfile end def put_into_archive(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path) zipfile.add(zipfile_path, disk_file_path) end end
