About

Allows using zip files as a FS provider for aspnet core's StaticFiles middleware. A single zip file can serve as a root file system when used this way.

Getting It

In an asp.net core project, install the Soukoku.Extensions.FileProviders.Zip NuGet package.

Example

Assuming there's a zip file you want to load, you can do something like the following

// inside the Program.cs or Startup.cs
IApplicationBuilder app = ...

var zipProvider = new ZipFileProvider(@"path\to\my\zip-file.zip");
var options = new FileServerOptions
{
    FileProvider = provider,
    RequestPath = "/test", // optional
    EnableDirectoryBrowsing = true,
};
// required for extension-less files
options.StaticFileOptions.ServeUnknownFileTypes = true;
app.UseFileServer(options);
  

Then go to the url http://mysite/test in the browser to see the zip file content.

Sample Site

A sample asp.net core site is included in the solution that uses an old PDF.js dist zip file. Run it or look at the Startup.cs file to see how it's configured.
