Quick Start

Using UnzipKit to extract files from a zip archive is incredibly easy. Let’s take a look at some simple code examples:

Extracting a single file


import UnzipKit

let zipFilePath: String = // path to the zip file
let destinationPath: String = // path to the destination folder

// Extracts a single file from the zip archive
do {
    try UnzipManager.default.extractEntry(from: zipFilePath, to: destinationPath, entryPath: "path/to/file.txt")
} catch {
    print("Error extracting file: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Extracting an entire directory


import UnzipKit

let zipFilePath: String = // path to the zip file
let destinationPath: String = // path to the destination folder

// Extracts the entire directory structure from the zip archive
do {
    try UnzipManager.default.extractEntries(from: zipFilePath, to: destinationPath)
} catch {
    print("Error extracting directory: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Customizing extraction

UnzipKit provides various options to enhance and customize the extraction process. Here are some important features you may find useful:

Filtering entries by file extension


import UnzipKit

let zipFilePath: String = // path to the zip file
let destinationPath: String = // path to the destination folder

// Extracts only the files with a .png extension from the zip archive
let options = UnzipOptions().filterExtension("png")
do {
    try UnzipManager.default.extractEntries(from: zipFilePath, to: destinationPath, options: options)
} catch {
    print("Error extracting files: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Password protected archives


import UnzipKit

let zipFilePath: String = // path to the zip file
let destinationPath: String = // path to the destination folder
let password: String = // password for the zip archive

// Extracts the entire zip archive that requires a password
let options = UnzipOptions().password(password)
do {
    try UnzipManager.default.extractEntries(from: zipFilePath, to: destinationPath, options: options)
} catch {
    print("Error extracting files: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Progress tracking


import UnzipKit

let zipFilePath: String = // path to the zip file
let destinationPath: String = // path to the destination folder

UnzipManager.default.progressHandler = { progress in
    print("Progress: \(String(format: "%.1f", progress * 100))%")
}

// Extracts the zip archive and tracks the extraction progress
do {
    try UnzipManager.default.extractEntries(from: zipFilePath, to: destinationPath)
} catch {
    print("Error extracting files: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
