### Cross-platform .zip file creation

## install

```

npm install cross-zip

```

## usage

```js

var zip = require('cross-zip')

var inPath = path.join(__dirname, 'myFolder') // folder to zip

var outPath = path.join(__dirname, 'myFile.zip') // name of output zip file

zip.zipSync(inPath, outPath)

```

## api

### `zip.zip(inPath, outPath, [callback])`

Zip the folder at `inPath` and save it to a .zip file at `outPath`. If a `callback`

is passed, then it is called with an `Error` or `null`.

### `zip.zipSync(inPath, outPath)`

Sync version of `zip.zip`.

### `zip.unzip(inPath, outPath, [callback])`

Unzip the .zip file at `inPath` into the folder at `outPath`. If a `callback` is

passed, then it is called with an `Error` or `null`.

### `zip.unzipSync(inPath, outPath)`

Sync version of `zip.unzip`.

## Windows users

This package requires [.NET Framework 4.5 or later](https://www.microsoft.com/net)

and [Powershell 3](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34595).

These come **pre-installed** on Windows 8 or later.

On Windows 7 or earlier, you will need to install these manually in order for

`cross-zip` to function correctly.
