Filepond Plugin Zipper

This is an extension plugin for Filepond uploader where you can upload directories as ZIP Files instead of uploading each individual files in them separately.

// Yarn:

:fire: Usage

This may differ depending upon the Framework you are using, but there is good documentation of how to register plugins in various Frameworks in Filepond website which you can follow.

import FilepondZipper from 'filepond-plugin-zipper';

FilePond.registerPlugin(FilepondZipper());

// Make sure you register it as a function
// cause you can pass in hook to tap into the zip files.

:star: Hook Support

In many cases, specially while using some reactive frameworks you might like to show some loading screen while it is zipping files which might take some time depending upon the directory size.

In those cases you can pass a callback function inside the FilepondZipper(). If you pass a callback then it won't add the zip files in the queue directly. Instead, it will give you the Array of Promise objects which you can tap into to show loading and inject the zip files when they are done.

Example:

const pond = FilePond.create(...);

const injector = async (generators) => {
  // Set Loading...
  const files = await Promise.all(
    generators.map(generate => generate())
  );
  pond.addFiles(files);
  // Stop loading...

  // OR. If you want to tap individually

  // Set Loading...
  generators.forEach(generate => {
    const file = await generate();
    pond.addFile(file);
  });
  // Stop Loading...
};

Filepond.registerPlugin(FilepondZipper(injector));
