ZIP Splitter

Overview

ZIP Splitter is a splitter that extracts the files contained in a ZIP and runs its context for each of them. In other words, at each iteration, the first context block after the splitter receives as input the output corresponding to a file extracted from the ZIP by ZIP Splitter.

Input

The input to a ZIP Splitter block must be a JSON with this structure:

{
  "base64": Base64 encoding of a ZIP file,
  "path": Filename or path of the ZIP file
}

Block properties

The properties of a ZIP Splitter block are accessed by editing the block and are divided into these groups:

• Basic properties:

  • Block name
  • Component version (read only)
  • Block ID (read only)

• Deployment:

  • Timeout: execution timeout expressed in minutes (m) or seconds (s).
  • Replicas: number of required instances.
  • Consumer Number: number of threads of the consumer, the software module of the block that provides input to process by taking it from the block's work queue.
  • Memory: required memory.
  • CPU: thousandths of a CPU required (for example: 1000 = 1 CPU).

• Input: read-only, these properties are a reminder of the structure of the input JSON.

• Output: read-only, this property is reminder of the structure of the output JSON that the splitter produces for every extracted file.

Output

A ZIP Splitter block produces as many items as the files contained in the input ZIP file. The block's context cycles over these items.
Each item is a JSON with this structure:

{
  "base64": Base64 encoding of an extracted file,
  "path": Path of the extracted file inside the ZIP
}

In the value of path, Unix-style forward slashes (/) are used to separate the portions of the path.
