Can zip.js run in Node.js?

Hi, This looks like a great solution for one of my projects, performance looks to be impressive. Is this code compatible to be shared with both front end webdevelopment using React and Typescript and back end development (service) using NodeJS and TypeScript?

I confirm it's possible to use zip.js (v2.3.19+) in Node.js (v14.8+) by polyfilling the Blob and the Worker APIs, see this example https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/zip.js/blob/3b9d2f2d789c95cddb4787f42a120c11b88dc7c5/tests/node/. The code in the test() function should run on client-side (i.e. in the browser) or server-side (in Node.js) without needing any change.

Thx for taking the time to add this. Due to my current development platform targets I am sadly limited to node ~10 max right now. I was unsuccessful in a quick attempt to get your example running. I'll try your previous suggestion and take a look at https://github.com/101arrowz/fflate. Thx!

no problem

I was able to implement both server (NodeJS) and client (React) with your mentioned alternative. Thx for your time and have a good weekend!
