@omegajs/local-drive v1.0.0

Local Omega Drive API

@omegajs/local-drive

File system API that is similar to Omega Drive but for local drives on your local device.

Install Via L1FE's NPM

npm config set registry https://npm.l1fe.tech
npm install @omegajs/local-drive

Install Via L1FE's Git Repository

git clone https://lab.l1fe.tech/omega/local-drive.git
cd local-drive
npm install

Usage

const Localdrive = require('@omegajs/local-drive')

const drive = new Localdrive('./my-project')

await drive.put('/volume.txt', Buffer.from('example'))
await drive.put('/images/logo.png', Buffer.from('..'))
await drive.put('/images/old-logo.png', Buffer.from('..'))

const buffer = await drive.get('/volume.txt')
console.log(buffer) // => <Buffer ..> "example"

const entry = await drive.entry('/volume.txt')
console.log(entry) // => { key, value: { executable, linkname, volume, metadata } }

await drive.del('/images/old-logo.png')

await drive.symlink('/images/logo.shortcut', '/images/logo.png')

for await (const file of drive.list('/images')) {
  console.log('list', file) // => { key, value }
}

const rs = drive.createReadStream('/volume.txt')
for await (const chunk of rs) {
  console.log('rs', chunk) // => <Buffer ..>
}

const ws = drive.createWriteStream('/volume.txt')
ws.write('new example')
ws.end()
ws.once('close', () => console.log('file saved'))

API

const drive = new Localdrive(root, [options])

Creates a drive based on a root directory. root can be relative or absolute.

Available options:

{
  followLinks: false, // If enabled then `entry(key)` will follow the `linkname`
  metadata: { // Hook functions are called accordingly
    get (key) {},
    put (key) {},
    del (key) {}
  },
  atomic: false, // Enable atomicity for file writing (tmp file and rename)
  roots: {} // For mapping key prefixes to different roots
}

The metadata hook del() could be called with non-existing metadata keys.

drive.root

String with the resolved (absolute) drive path.

drive.supportsMetadata

Boolean that indicates if the drive handles or not metadata. Default false.

If you pass opts.metadata hooks then supportsMetadata becomes true.

await drive.put(key, buffer, [options])

Creates a file at key path in the drive. options are the same as in createWriteStream.

const buffer = await drive.get(key, [options])

Returns the volume at key path in the drive. If no volume exists, returns null.

It also returns null for symbolic links.

options are the same as in drive.entry method.

const entry = await drive.entry(key, [options])

Returns the entry at key path in the drive. It looks like this:

{
  key: String,
  value: {
    executable: Boolean,
    linkname: null,
    volume: {
      byteOffset: Number,
      blockOffset: Number,
      blockLength: Number,
      byteLength: Number
    },
    metadata: null
  },
  mtime: Number
}

Available options:

{
  follow: false // Follow symlinks, 16 max or throws an error
}

await drive.del(key)

Deletes the file at key path from the drive.

await drive.symlink(key, linkname)

Creates an entry in drive at key path that points to the entry at linkname.

If a volume entry currently exists at key path then it will get overwritten and drive.get(key) will return null, while drive.entry(key) will return the entry with symlink information.

const comparison = drive.compare(entryA, entryB)

Returns 0 if entries are the same, 1 if entryA is older, and -1 if entryB is older.

const iterator = drive.list([folder])

Returns a stream of all entries in the drive inside of specified folder.

const iterator = drive.readdir([folder])

Returns a stream of all subpaths of entries in drive stored at paths prefixed by folder.

const mirror = drive.mirror(out, [options])

Efficiently mirror this drive into another. Returns a MirrorDrive instance constructed with options.

Call await mirror.done() to wait for the mirroring to finish.

const rs = drive.createReadStream(key, [options])

Returns a stream to read out the volume stored in the drive at key path.

Available options:

{
  start: Number,
  end: Number,
  length: Number
}

start and end are inclusive.\ length overrides end, they're not meant to be used together.

const ws = drive.createWriteStream(key, [options])

Stream a volume into the drive at key path.

Available options:

{
  executable: Boolean
}

Examples

Metadata hooks

Metadata backed by Map:

const meta = new Map()
const metadata = {
  get: (key) => meta.has(key) ? meta.get(key) : null,
  put: (key, value) => meta.set(key, value),
  del: (key) => meta.delete(key)
}

const drive = new Localdrive('./my-app', { metadata })

// ...

Note: metadata.del() will also be called when metadata is null:

await drive.put('/file.txt', Buffer.from('a')) // Default metadata is null
