How to use?

pack(from, to, names)

• from - string directory that would be packed
• to - string or stream, name of archive
• names - array of names in directory from that would be packed.

constjaguar=require('jaguar');constpath=require('path');constcwd=process.cwd();constname='pipe.tar.gz';constfrom=cwd+'/pipe-io';constto=path.join(cwd,name);constpack=jaguar.pack(from,to,['LICENSE','README.md','package.json']);pack.on('file',(name)=>{console.log(name);});pack.on('start',()=>{console.log('start of packing');});pack.on('progress',(percent)=>{console.log(percent+'%');});pack.on('error',(error)=>{console.error(error);});pack.on('end',()=>{console.log('done');});

extract(from, to)

• from - path to .tar.gz archive
• to - path to directory where files would be stored.

constjaguar=require('jaguar');constpath=require('path');constcwd=process.cwd();constname='pipe.tar.gz';constto=cwd+'/pipe-io';constfrom=path.join(cwd,name);constextract=jaguar.extract(from,to);extract.on('file',(name)=>{console.log(name);});extract.on('progress',(percent)=>{console.log(percent+'%');});extract.on('error',(error)=>{console.error(error);});extract.on('end',()=>{console.log('done');});

In case of starting example output should be similar to:
