Hi Ramuchnadra,

You can handle the incremental zip file generation with below changes

var zip = new JSZip();
var count = 0;
var count1 =0;
var zipFilename = "zipFilename.zip";
var urls = [
'http://image-url-1',
'http://image-url-2',
'http://image-url-3'
];

urls.forEach(function(url){
var filename = "filename";
// loading a file and add it in a zip file
JSZipUtils.getBinaryContent(url, function (err, data) {
if(err) {
throw err; // or handle the error
}
zip.file(filename, data, {binary:true});
count++;
if (count == urls.length) {
zip.generateAsync({type:'blob'}).then(function(content) {
**count1++;

  if(count1 == urls.length)**

saveAs(content, zipFilename);
});
}
});
});

Thanks & Regards,
V Rajesh

Using Angular 2 :


  1. I have installed the jzip-utils using the npm command
    npm install jszip-utils
  2. When trying to include the reference in ***.ts file, i am getting a message Cannot find module 'jszip-utils'
  3. When observed the folder "node_modules", new folder 'jszip-utils' created with the required files

Any guidance will be great helpful.

Doesn't work with firefox 63.
File is downloaded, but it's file type is 'File'. and i cannot open it.

Please guide me on this.

don't forget to make the filename vary with each iteration using index and add the extension . for example i added .jpg for images. :)

Axios Version

      Your file object
       const payload = {};		
        var zip = new jsZip();
	var count = 0;
	payload.forEach((file) => {
		axios
			.get(file.filePath, {

you have to import those npm libraries as following:
import { saveAs } from 'file-saver'
import * as JSZip from 'jszip'
import * as JSZipUtils from 'jszip-utils'

But what about downloading files of size 5 GB , 10 GB etc. When I tried this examples, it actually reads all fiiles and writes to a zip. I am looking for a solution where a user should see a zip download happening immediately after download request

Below is code in which i am creating data for csv file and downloading csv file in zip folder:

generateCSVfiles()
{

      this.service.getStudentDetails(studentid, student.name).subscribe
          (res => {
            var dataSet = (res);
            // start
            if (studentid == "Senior") {
             
              const header = ["studentId","StudentName"];
              const replacer = (key, values) => values === null ? '' : values // specify how you want to handle null values here
              this.seniordata = items.map(row => header.map(fieldName => JSON.stringify(row[fieldName], replacer)).join(','))
              this.seniordata.unshift(header.join(','));
              this.seniordata = this.seniordata.join('\r\n');
            }
            else if (studentid == "Junior") {
               const header = ["studentId","StudentName"];
              const replacer = (key, values) => values === null ? '' : values // specify how you want to handle null values here
              this.juniordata = items.map(row => header.map(fieldName => JSON.stringify(row[fieldName], replacer)).join(','))
              this.juniordata.unshift(header.join(','));
              this.juniordata = this.juniordata.join('\r\n');
               
            }
        this.downloadzip();
   }
}
   





public downloadzip()
{
	
	 let zip = new JSZip();
      // Fill CSV variable
      zip.file( 'Studentrecord'+'.csv', this.juniordata);
	  zip.file( 'Studentrecord'+'.csv', this.seniordata);
    
    zip.generateAsync({
      type: "base64"
    }).then(function (content) {
      window.location.href = "data:application/zip;base64," + content ;
    });

}

Above code working fine and able to download csv file inside zip folder when we got response data for one of junior or Senior student. but when we received both junior and senior data at time then it downloading different zip file or sometimes only one zip file getting generated. but i want both file in one zip folder. can someone guide me how to download different csv file in one zip folder.

hello. I am using the version3 code to download a bunch of pdf from a database. I am using some big paths and those paths are creating the whole folder heirarchy on the zip. Is there a way to just put them on the top of the zip and not creating useless folders?

Hey Thank you all below code is working fine for me
var urls = [
"images/20170420_145140.jpg",
"images/20170503_142841.jpg",
"images/20170503_084035.jpg"];
download() {

        urls.forEach(function (url) {
            JSZipUtils.getBinaryContent(url, function (err, data) {
                if (err) {
                    throw err; // or handle the error
                }
                try {
                    zip.file(count + ".jpg", data, { binary: true });
                    count++;
                    if (count == urls.length) {
                        zip.generateAsync({ type: "blob" }).then(function (content) {
                            FileSaver.saveAs(content, zipFilename);
                        });
                    }
                } catch (e) {
                    console.log("errorrr...k", e)
                }
            });
        });
    }

The mistake I did is zip.file("image", data, { binary: true });
I am passing three URLs but adding name static so it is downloading one file. after changing the name dynamically it is working.
