Download Collections as zip

[catarak]

Once #43 is implemented, it would be nice to be able to download a collection as a zip. Then, for example, a teacher could easily upload all of the files to Github.

A download all sketches into a .zip would be nice also.

Hi @catarak, please review my PR.

Hi @slowizzm,

I have created an unofficial implementation of this feature here.

Anyone in the p5 community can use my code if it helps adding the feature in the web editor.

Thanks @jnsjknn p5-project-downloader, close to what I'm looking for.
Ideally i'd like to keep local copy of sketches in sync with online version.

So currently the editor uses JSZip to make a zip file of a sketch using this controller:

p5.js-web-editor/server/controllers/project.controller.js

Lines 289 to 294 in f21b847

	export function downloadProjectAsZip(req, res) {
	Project.findById(req.params.project_id, (err, project) => {
	// save project to some path
	buildZip(project, req, res);
	});
	}

The same library can be used for a Collection, since it has the items property that is an array of sketches. Iterating through the array, each sketch can be added to a single zip file.

A similar fix can be done for #1939

So, if both these issues are still open, please assign them to me. @lindapaiste @raclim
