Could this help? It was from a while ago…

Example Zip in the client browser using JavaScript inside Anvil

From the questions found here: Here is a clone like to an example app: Did I ever mention I dislike using javascript with the fire of ten thousand suns?

Hi @p.colbert ,

Here is a full example: Anvil | Login

On the client side, in get_data_click() function, data is a dictionary.
Also, the JS Pako library load is in Native Libraries now.

On the server side, you can change the compress_level:

level is an integer from 0 to 9 or -1 controlling the level of compression; 1 (Z_BEST_SPEED) is fastest and produces the least compression, 9 (Z_BEST_COMPRESSION) is slowest and produces the most.

Hope this helps
