I need to store a lot of text in WebSQl, so I decided to compress the text with zip.js
and store the compressed Blobs.
From the documentation you can compress a blob as follows:
function zipBlob(filename, blob, callback) {
// use a zip.BlobWriter object to write zipped data into a Blob object
zip.createWriter(new zip.BlobWriter("application/zip"), function(zipWriter) {
// use a BlobReader object to read the data stored into blob variable
zipWriter.add(filename, new zip.BlobReader(blob), function() {
// close the writer and calls callback function
zipWriter.close(callback);
});
}, onerror);
}
Although this works, I don't understand why you need to specify a filename. Is this really necessary? And, is this file always removed after compression?
