How to get size of compressed file using JSZip

In JSZip, you can get the file size of a file compressed inside a ZIP archive by first decompressing it using zip.file(...).async(...) into an ArrayBuffer and then using .byteLength to get the size of the buffer.

zip.file("filename.txt").async("ArrayBuffer").then(function(data) {
    var fileSize = data.byteLength;
    // TODO Your code goes here
})

Full example

This is based on our post on How to uncompress file inside ZIP archive using HTML5 & JSZip which reads a local file using a HTML5 file input. This example prints the file size of every file inside the ZIP archive:

<html>
<body>
    <input type="file" id="myfile" onchange="onMyfileChange(this)" />

    <script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/jszip.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function onMyfileChange(fileInput) {
            if(fileInput.files[0] == undefined) {
                return ;
            }

            var filename = fileInput.files[0].name;
            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.onload = function(ev) {
                JSZip.loadAsync(ev.target.result).then(function(zip) {
                    zip.file("word/document.xml").async("ArrayBuffer").then(function(data) {
                        console.log("word/document.xml is", data.byteLength, "bytes long");
                    })
                }).catch(function(err) {
                    console.error("Failed to open", filename, " as ZIP file:", err);
                })
            };
            reader.onerror = function(err) {
                console.error("Failed to read file", err);
            }
            reader.readAsArrayBuffer(fileInput.files[0]);
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Example output

word/document.xml is 88369 bytes long
