Node.js zlib.createGzip() Method
The zlib.createGzip() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the Zlib module which is used to create a new Gzip object.
Syntax:
zlib.createGzip( options )
Parameters: This method accepts single parameter options which is optional parameter that holds the zlib options.
Return Value: It returns a new Gzip object.
Below examples illustrate the use of zlib.createGzip() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
const zlib = require( "zlib" );
const fs = require( 'fs' );
const inp = fs.createReadStream( 'input.txt' );
const out = fs.createWriteStream( 'input.txt.gz' );
const gzip = zlib.createGzip();
inp.pipe(gzip).pipe(out);
console.log( "Gzip created!" );
|
Output:
Gzip created!
Example 2:
const zlib = require( "zlib" );
const fs = require( 'fs' );
const inp = fs.createReadStream( 'input.txt' );
const out = fs.createWriteStream( 'input.txt.gz' );
const gzip = zlib.createGzip();
inp.pipe(out).pipe(gzip);
console.log( "Gzip created!" );

Output:
Error [ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE]: Cannot pipe, not readable

Here, piping is not done in a proper order so, error is thrown.
