Archive-lp-rs

Rust library for working with archives, designed for Lovepack. Takes much of the middle work for accessing files inside a library.

Functionality

Knows what to do for the following files

• *.zip
• *.tar.gz
• *.tar.xz

Can do the following

• extract archive to a directory: archive_lp::extract_to()
• extract root of an archive to a directory: archive_lp::extract_root_to()
• check if a file is in an archive: archive_lp::contains_file()

Optional Features

• indicate : uses indicatif to show a progress spinner with some details during extraction.

archive-lp-rs's Issues

::extract_root_to is annoying to use.

There are too many restrictions on the inputs for the function archive_lp::extract_root_to. Its a pain the the ass to get your data in the right format that fits all the required traits.

let exe_path = archive_lp::extract_root_to(&download_path.display().to_string(), &install_path.display().to_string())?;

This is stupid.

Create Progress Bar, optional to show that it is working.

Create something that allows for a progress bar, if desired, or implement one that can be "activated"
