node-gzip

Gzip and ungzip in Node.js

Tiny and easy to use wrapper around zlib.gzip and zlib.gunzip to support promises.

const compressed = await gzip('Hello World');

Install

npm install node-gzip --save

Examples

With Promises

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

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.

await gzip('Hello World', {...});
