<brief_description>
Allows reading the content of a ZIP file.
</brief_description>
<description>
This class implements a reader that can extract the content of individual files inside a ZIP archive. See also [ZIPPacker].
[codeblock]
# Read a single file from a ZIP archive.
func read_zip_file():
var reader = ZIPReader.new()
var err = reader.open("user://archive.zip")
if err != OK:
return PackedByteArray()
var res = reader.read_file("hello.txt")
reader.close()
return res
# Extract all files from a ZIP archive, preserving the directories within.
# This acts like the "Extract all" functionality from most archive managers.
func extract_all_from_zip():
var reader = ZIPReader.new()
reader.open("res://archive.zip")
# Destination directory for the extracted files (this folder must exist before extraction).
# Not all ZIP archives put everything in a single root folder,
# which means several files/folders may be created in `root_dir` after extraction.
var root_dir = DirAccess.open("user://")
var files = reader.get_files()
for file_path in files:
# If the current entry is a directory.
if file_path.ends_with("/"):
root_dir.make_dir_recursive(file_path)
continue
# Write file contents, creating folders automatically when needed.
# Not all ZIP archives are strictly ordered, so we need to do this in case
# the file entry comes before the folder entry.
root_dir.make_dir_recursive(root_dir.get_current_dir().path_join(file_path).get_base_dir())
var file = FileAccess.open(root_dir.get_current_dir().path_join(file_path), FileAccess.WRITE)
var buffer = reader.read_file(file_path)
file.store_buffer(buffer)
