A simple library that lets you archive and extract asar files, in C#.
This library exposes 2 disposable classes: AsarArchiver and AsarExtractor.
using AsarArchiver archiver = new(pathToDirectoryOrFile, pathToArchive);
archiver.Archive(options);
using AsarExtractor extractor = new(pathToArchive, pathToWhereToExtract)
extractor.Extract();
| Option | Type | Default value | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
MatchBasename |
bool |
false |
Match against the filename of the path. So basically, if this is set to true, for path/to/file.txt, *.txt will match. This may only be used with the Unpack option. |
Unpack |
string[] |
null |
List of globs to match against every file archived. It is like the argument received from the --unpack flag from the asar CLI. |
- This library logs additional data when built in debug mode.
- Because symlinks require admin privileges in order to be created, it's not suitable for this library to ask for such privileges in order to run. Therefore, every symlink will be replaced with the file or directory it points to.
