I would like to unzip files using typescript. I have test.ts like below

var unzip = require('unzip-stream');
var fs = require('fs-extra'); 

class test {
  unzipp() {
    return fs.createReadStream('./e2e/chrome.zip').pipe(unzip.Extract({ path: './e2e' }));
  }
}

But when I run

tsc test.ts

and then

node test.js

nothing happens.

Can anyone help with that please?

• javascript
• typescript

• 3 You have declared a class with a member method. Basically, you're telling node "I want to define this class that does something, then that's it. Don't do anything else. Just exit." – Patrick Roberts Commented Jan 9, 2019 at 22:56

you have declared your class but you did not run it.

var myInstance = new test();
myInstance.unzipp();

As Patrick says in the ment, you're not actually running the code. You don't really need a class for this right now either. Try the following:

var unzip = require('unzip-stream');
var fs = require('fs-extra'); 

function unzip() {
  return fs.createReadStream('./e2e/chrome.zip').pipe(unzip.Extract({ path: './e2e' }));
}

unzip();
