Zipper

This addon provides a simple way to zip your Statamic assets on the fly.

Installation

Install the addon using Composer:

composer require aerni/zipper

Publish the config of the package (optional):

php please vendor:publish --tag=zipper-config

Basic Usage

To create a zip of your assets, you must call the zip tag followed by the variable containing your assets. The tag returns the URL to the route that handles creating the zip. The zip will be streamed without being saved to disk, but you may opt-in to save the file to disk for later use.

Somewhere in your content files:

images:
  - sega-genesis.jpg
  - snes.jpg

Somewhere in your views:

{{ zip:images }}

Filename

You may optionally pass a filename using the filename parameter. The filename defaults to the current timestamp when the Zip object is created. The example below binds the zip name to the page title.

{{ zip:images :filename="title" }}

Link Expiry

If you want to expire your links after a certain time, you can either set the expiry globally in the config or use the expiry parameter on the tag. The expiry is to be set in minutes. Note that the expiry on the tag will override the expiry in the config.

{{ zip:images expiry="60" }}

Cleanup Old References

Zipper saves an encrypted instance of the Zip class every time it returns a URL. This class is later retrieved and decrypted when a user downloads a zip. These reference files are stored in storage/zipper/{id}.

With time, the number of saved reference files will grow. To control this, Zipper provides a scheduled command that will delete old reference files daily. Just make sure that your Scheduler is running.

Cleanup Scopes

There are a couple of cleanup scopes to choose from in the config.:

Option	Description
expired	Only delete expired references files. This only affects references of zips that used the expiry option
all	Delete all reference files, excluding unexpired files. This will delete references of expired zips and zips that didn't use the expiry option. It will not delete unexpired zips.
force	Delete all reference files, including unexpired files. This will completely wipe all references.

Clean Command

You may also use the clean command to delete reference files at your will. The scope defaults to expired.

php please zipper:clean
php please zipper:clean --scope=all
php please zipper:clean --scope=force

Advanced Usage

You may also use this addon programmatically, as shown below.

use Aerni\Zipper\Zip;

// Prepare an array of Statamic assets, paths, or URLs.
$files = [
    Statamic\Assets\Asset,
    '/home/ploi/site.com/storage/app/assets/file_1.jpg',
    'https://site.com/path/to/file_2.jpg',
];

// Make a zip with the files above.
$zip = Zip::make($files);

// Set an optional filename. This defaults to the timestamp when the object was created.
$zip->filename('obi-wan-kenobi');

// Set an optional expiry time in minutes. This defaults to the expiry set in the config.
$zip->expiry(60);

// Get the URL that handles creating the zip.
$zip->url();

// Create a new zip or download a previously cached zip.
$zip->get();
