File Controller example

import { inject } from '@loopback/context';
import { get, requestBody, post, put, RequestBodyObject, param } from "@loopback/rest";

const TEXT_PLAIN_REQUEST: RequestBodyObject = {

			schema: {
				type: 'string'

			}
		}
	}

}

export class FileController {
	constructor(
		@inject('file.provider') private fileService: FileService
	) { }

	@get('/files')
	async getFolder() {
		return this.fileService.getFolder();
	}

	@get('/files/{filename}')
	async getFile(
		@param.path.string('filename') filename: string
	) {
		return this.fileService.get(filename);
	}

	@put('/files/{filename}')
	async putFile(
		@param.path.string('filename') filename: string,
		@requestBody(TEXT_PLAIN_REQUEST) body: string
	) {
		return this.fileService.overwrite(filename, body);
	}

	@post('/files/{filename}')
	async postFile(
		@param.path.string('filename') filename: string,
		@requestBody(TEXT_PLAIN_REQUEST) body: string
	) {
		return this.fileService.append(filename, body);
	}
