zip a folder code snippet I refactored based on tarzg function I used in a node backend project few years ago

zip_folder_example.js

const zipit =  (dest, name) => {
  const filePath = path.join(dest, name + '.zip');
  const output = fs.createWriteStream(filePath);
  const archive = archiver('zip', { zlib: { level: 9 } });
  archive.pipe(output);
// callback
  output.on('close', () => {
    console.log('callback when everything is finished');
  });
  archive.directory('deploy/', false);
  archive.finalize();
};
zipit('build' , 'build');
