Don't include absolute path to archive with node-tar

I have a dir with a number of dirs and files inside, which I want add to tar. I use node-tar package for it. I am passing it two params: source and destination strings after path.resolve exec. Finally I have tar.gz, which includes absolute path before my target.

Here's what I did:

const path = require('path');
const tar = require('tar');
const { promisify } = require('util');
const tarCreateAsync = promisify(tar.c);

const src = path.resolve(__dirname, 'test-data');
const dst = path.resolve(__dirname, 'output-data');

async function addToTar(src, dst) {
    await tarCreateAsync(
        {
            gzip: true,
            file: path.resolve(dst, 'static.tgz'),
        },
        [src]
    )
}

addToTar(src, dst);

I have seen this article, but the API has been changed and the anchor shows nothing.

Also tried with preservePaths option but no effect

Solve it, it's been C or cwd option for set base path value.

It's look like this

    await tarCreateAsync(
        {
            gzip: true,
            file: path.resolve(dst, 'static.tgz'),
            cwd: path.resolve(__dirname),
        },
        ['test-data']
    )
