Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. React Native

import { Zip } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const zip = new Zip();

  // Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
  zip.newZip('myZip.zip');

  // Add references to files:
  const recurse = true;
  await zip.appendFilesAsync('c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*', recurse);

  // Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
  // the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

  // The component has no
  // choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
  // It's not possible for the component to know if you
  // wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
  // paths prefixed for each file added.

  // To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
  // directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
  // For example:
  zip.appendFromDir = 'c:\\temp\\a';

  await zip.appendFilesAsync('subdir1\\*', recurse);

  // This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
  // "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

  // If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
  // do this:
  zip.appendFromDir = 'c:\\temp';
  await zip.appendFilesAsync('a\\subdir1\\*', recurse);

  await zip.writeZipAndCloseAsync();
