--------------------|----------|---------|------------
options             | object   |         | the options to generate the zip file, see [the options of `generateAsync()`]({{site.baseurl}}/documentation/api_jszip/generate_async.html)

## Examples

```js
zip
.generateNodeStream({streamFiles:true})
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('out.zip'))
.on('finish', function () {
    // JSZip generates a readable stream with a "end" event,
    // but is piped here in a writable stream which emits a "finish" event.
    console.log("out.zip written.");
});
```
