Ax'n'glu

Utility to split and join files for easy storage or transfer.

$ axnglu split myFile.7z --size 200mb
$ axnglu join myFile.7z.001

Install

npm install [-g] axnglu

API

import { splitBySize, splitByParts, join } from 'axnglu'

splitByParts (
  filePath: string,
  parts: number,
  deleteOriginalFile = false
) => Promise<string[]>

splitBySize (
  filePath: string,
  size: number | string,
  deleteOriginalFile = false
) => Promise<string[]>

join (
  filePath: string,
  deleteOriginalFile = false
) => Promise<string>

The methos return a Promise that fulfills into the path(s) of the generated file(s).

Please note that size can be the number of bytes, or a string with units ('100mb', '4.37gb', etc).

Examples

import { splitBySize, splitByParts, join } from 'split-file.js'

// Split file in parts of 100MB
const fragmentsPaths = await splitBySize('path/to/my-large-file.7z', '100mb')

// Split the file into 7 fragments and delete the original file
const fragmentsPaths2 = await splitByParts('path/to/my-large-file-2.7z', 7, true)

// Join the fragments and remove them
const joinedFile = await join(fragmentsPaths[0], true)
