This tool is a utility wrapper around the compressing package

it automatically detects the compression type (zip/tar/tar.gz/gz/crx/xpi) and extracts the content of the archive

npm install unarchive

or

yarn add unarchive
pnpm add unarchive
bun add unarchive

//const unarchive = require('unarchive')
import unarchive from 'unarchive'

await unarchive(archiveName, 'outputFolder')

• zip
• tar
• gz (gzip files)
• tar.gz / tgz
• xpi (Firefox extension files)
• crx (Chrome extension files)
