# ZipAsFolder
[](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ZipAsFolder)
ZipAsFolder is a PowerShell FileSystem provider lets you get, add, change, clear, and delete files and directories in zip archives.
```powershell
PS> Install-Module -Name ZipAsFolder
PS> Import-Module ZipAsFolder
```
After installation new `zf` PSDrive is available. On Windows the Root is empty, on Linux the Root is `/`.
```powershell
PS> Get-PSDrive
Name Provider Root
---- -------- ----
zf ZipAsFolder /
```
## Usage
Usage is simple: just add `zf:` at the beginning of the path, like this "c:\my\path" => "zf:c:\my\path" on windows or "/my/path" => "zf:/my/path" on linux.
```powershell
# create a new empty zip archive file
PS> New-Item zf:/archive.zip
# add a text file into the archive
PS> Set-Content zf:/archive.zip/file.txt "hello from ZipAsFolder"
# add an empty directory into the archive
PS> New-Item zf:/archive.zip/directory -ItemType Directory
# create another text file
PS> Get-Content zf:/archive.zip/file.txt -Raw | Set-Content zf:/archive.zip/directory/file.txt
# show content
PS> Get-ChildItem zf:/archive.zip #-Recurse
# create an empty directory
PS> New-Item zf:/extracted -ItemType Directory
# expand the archive
PS> Copy-Item zf:/archive.zip/* zf:/extracted -Recurse
# remove "directory" from the archive
PS> Remove-Item zf:/archive.zip/directory -Recurse
# remove the archive
PS> Remove-Item zf:/archive.zip -Recurse
# compress the content of extracted
PS> New-Item zf:/archive.zip
PS> Copy-Item zf:/extracted/* zf:/archive.zip -Recurse
```
> ### Note
> on widows relative path works well
> ```powershell
> PS> cd c:\my\path
> PS> Get-ChildItem zf:.\ # the content of c:\my\path
> ```
> on linux the path must be fully qualified
> ```powershell
> PS> cd /my/path
> PS> Get-ChildItem zf:./ # the content of the root /
> PS> Get-ChildItem zf:/my/path # the content of /my/path
> ```
## Customization
show the configuration
```powershell
PS> $ZipAsFolder
ZipExtensions CompressionLevel
------------- ----------------
{.zip, .nupkg} Optimal
```
ZipAsFolder recognizes a file as an archive by its extension, by default `.zip` and `.nupkg`.
To add `.docx` into the list, just change the configuration
```powershell
PS> $ZipAsFolder.ZipExtensions += ".docx"
```
