Creating Zip File from Folder

[Purus]

How would I zip an entire folder and make it available as a zip file? I have couple of views on the documents and I am not able to get any info on zipping the files.

Please let me know if I am missing any thing on this.

Although this is not an official feature of the package, it does make it super simple to implement yourself, like so:

$local = new Flysystem\FIlesystem(Flysystem\Adapter\Local(__DIR__.'/path/to/dir'));
$zip = new Flysystem\FIlesystem(Flysystem\Adapter\Zip(__DIR__.'/path/to/archive.zip'));

$contents = $local->listContents('', true);

foreach ($contents as $info) {
    if ($info['type'] === 'dir') {
        continue;
    }

    $zip->write($info['path'], $local->read($info['path']));
}

// This will trigger saving the zip.
$zip = null;

Now you'll have the archive zipped the local directory and stored at _DIR__.'/path/to/archive.zip'

Thanks again. I somehow figured this logic..

Hope you won't mind if I add this an feature to your Zip adapter as a new function..

It's not something that will be included in the default zip adapter, this because it's not a feature that is cross adapter compatible.

Yeah. Got your point. Thanks.
