var success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var zip = new CkZip();

var zipPath = "c:/temp/myFiles.zip";

// Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath);

// Append references to files to be zipped.
var recurse = true;
success = zip.AppendFiles("c:/temp/files_to_zip/*",recurse);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(zip.LastErrorText);

// Write the .zip and close the zip file (and clears the zip object).
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
if (success == false) {
    console.log(zip.LastErrorText);

console.log("Successfully created " + zipPath);

// If the following files existed under c:/temp/files_to_zip

// c:/temp/files_to_zip/aaa/pigs.json
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/base64Cert.txt
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/hamlet.xml
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/hello.pdf

// then the zip we created would contain:

// aaa/pigs.json
// bbb/base64Cert.txt
// bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
// bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
// bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
// hamlet.xml
