Zip

This module contains helper function to create and extract zip archives.

Functions and values

Function or valueDescription
Zip.createZip(...)
Signature: workingDir:string -> fileName:string -> comment:string -> level:int -> flatten:bool -> files:seq<string> -> unit

Creates a zip file with the given files

Parameters

  • workingDir - The relative dir of the zip files. Use this parameter to influence directory structure within zip file.
  • fileName - The fileName of the resulting zip file.
  • comment - A comment for the resulting zip file (currently ignored in fake 5).
  • level - The compression level.
  • flatten - If set to true then all subfolders are merged into the root folder.
  • files - A sequence with files to zip.
Zip.createZipOfIncludes(...)
Signature: fileName:string -> comment:string -> level:int -> files:seq<string * IGlobbingPattern> -> unit

Creates a zip file with the given files.

Parameters

  • fileName - The file name of the resulting zip file.
  • comment - A comment for the resulting zip file (currently ignored in fake 5).
  • level - The compression level.
  • files - A sequence of target folders and files to include relative to their base directory.
Zip.createZipSpec(...)
Signature: fileName:string -> comment:string -> level:int -> items:seq<string * string> -> unit

Creates a zip file with the given files and specs.

Parameters

  • fileName - The fileName of the resulting zip file.
  • comment - A comment for the resulting zip file (currently ignored in fake 5).
  • level - The compression level.
  • items - A sequence with files and their target location in the zip.
Zip.DefaultZipLevel
Signature: int

The default zip level
Zip.filesAsSpecs workingDir files
Signature: workingDir:string -> files:IGlobbingPattern -> seq<string * string>

This helper helps with creating complex zip file with multiple include patterns. This method will convert a given glob pattern with the given workingDir to a sequence of zip specifications.

Parameters

  • workingDir - The relative dir of the zip files. Use this parameter to influence directory structure within zip file.
  • files - A sequence of target folders and files to include relative to their base directory.

Sample

The following sample creates a zip file containing the files from multiple patterns and moves them to different folders within the zip file.

val sprintf : format:Printf.StringFormat<'T> -> 'T
Zip.moveToFolder path items
Signature: path:string -> items:seq<string * string> -> seq<string * string>

This helper helps with creating complex zip file with multiple include patterns. This function will move a given list of zip specifications to the given folder (while keeping original folder structure intact).

Parameters

  • workingDir - The relative dir of the zip files. Use this parameter to influence directory structure within zip file.
  • files - A sequence of target folders and files to include relative to their base directory.
