fs-rest-api v1.0.0

Node Filesystem Rest API

This Express app exposes a simple API for proxying the nodejs filesystem. Doesn't allow any operations above the specified base directory. Warnings: Still in active development, API may change regularly. Not recommended for production servers.

Installation

npm install fs-rest-api

Usage

This module uses an Express router so you can use it with your existing Express apps.

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var fsAPI = require('fs-rest-api');
var path = require('path');

// set the routing prefix and base directory
app.use('/fs', fsAPI(path.join(__dirname, './test-dir')));
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
  console.log('Express server listening on port ' + server.address().port);
});

Allows the proper owner settings for creating directories. More here https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_umask_mask

process.umask(0);
