Angular is a JavaScript framework used to build web applications. It can be used to zip files by using the JavaScript libraryJSZip. The following example code shows how to use JSZip to zip a file in Angular:
// Create a new instance of JSZiplet zip = new JSZip();// Add a file to the zipzip.file("hello.txt", "Hello World");// Generate the zip filelet zipFile = zip.generateAsync({ type: "blob" });// Create a download linklet downloadLink = document.createElement("a");downloadLink.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(zipFile);downloadLink.download = "example.zip";downloadLink.click();
This code creates a new instance of JSZip, adds a file calledhello.txt
with the contentHello World
to the zip, generates the zip file as a blob, and creates a download link for the zip file.
let zip = new JSZip();
: creates a new instance of JSZipzip.file("hello.txt", "Hello World");
