Maybe @drifting fractal question. Warning, I don't understand this topic very well.
I'd like to create a zip archive, of a directory. CompressionStreams as far as I can see only compress the contents of a file.
Is zip and compressionstreams (i.e.) gzip simply different technologies
drifting fractal
afaik CompressionStream can do both gzip and deflate.
but not zip/unzip, no
I suppose it was designed for single web pages.
(if .tar.gz is an option for you... NM, still need to create the tar archive, which is the same problem)

Okies. so I need to google harder. too many things called zip and related to the web. so searches like "zip archive compressionstream javascript" not going where I need

I've resorted to this library https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/zip.js/ and made zipping a platform feature
it works but it means there's a lot of effects to work with

would people want a library providing bindings to zip.js. I'm not really sure if it makes sense publishing stuff on hex that are small wrappers around npm packages

i always feel a bit uncomfortable about js-only packages on hex, i think thats just a Me issue though

I think it's a bit inevitable, especially since using hex dependencies on Gleam is currently much more convenient than Git deps
