Zip Ahoy is a small NetStandard 2.0 library for creating/extracting directories to/from zip-files in C#.

Although there are already high-level helper methods for this in the System.IO.Compression.* namespaces, they lack support for cancellation, and a way to get meaningful progress reporting at a more fine-grained level than per-file.

ZipAhoy adds these things in two simple high-level static methods:

Archive.CreateFromFolderAsync(
    string folderPath, 
    string archiveFilePath, 
    Action<float> progress = default,      
    CancellationToken token = default)

and

Arhive.ExtractToFolderAsync(
    string archiveFilePath, 
    string destFolderPath,
    Action<float> progress = default, 
    CancellationToken token = default)

There are usage examples in the ZipAhoy.Tests project.

There is a NuGet package, called ZipAhoy here.

Alternatively, just grab the source and add the ZipAhoy class library to your project.
