A “Download all as ZIP” button in React starts simple. A production version also needs progress, cancellation, retry, useful errors, and a plan for archives that are too large for browser memory.
In this tutorial, we’ll use Eazip, an open-source ZIP toolkit for JavaScript and React. Its React package gives you a hook for starting ZIP jobs and a ready-made tray for showing their status.
Everyday files can be zipped entirely in the browser. When the same feature needs to handle multi-GB archives or thousands of remote URLs, it can move the job to Eazip Cloud without adding any backend code.
Install the React package
npm install @eazip/react
