This is the code:

var fstream = require('fstream');
var tar = require('tar');

var packer = tar.Pack({});
packer.on('data', function(data){
    console.log(data.toString());
});

var reader = fstream.Reader({
    path: __dirname + '/../compress',
    type: 'Directory',

    // Fixing directory permissions
    // https://github.com/cranic/node-tar.gz/pull/9
    filter: function (entry) {
        if (entry.props.type === "Directory")
            entry.props.mode |= (entry.props.mode >>> 2) & 0111;

        return true;
    }
});

reader.pipe(packer);
