API

http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

plus:

rmrf rimraf
mkdirp
join([path1], [path2], [...])
parsePathParts('/a/b/../c') -> 'a', 'c'
fileSizeSI / fileSizeIEC -> 34.30 kB / 33.50 KiB
BrowserFs.Buffer
BrowserFs.path

not supported:

watch, unwatch
stream
appendFile
chmod, chown
open, read, write, close
fsync
truncate
link, symlink
realpath

Use

var BrowserFs = requirejs('BrowserFs');
var fs = new BrowserFs();

fs.statSync('/');
fs.mkdirSync('/subdir');
fs.mkdirpSync('/subdir2/subdir3');
fs.existsSync('/subdir/subdir2');
fs.rmdirSync('/subdir/subdir2');
fs.rmrfSync('/subdir');
fs.writeFileSync('/file', 'file string content');
fs.writeFileSync('/file', buffer);


fs.stat('/file', function (err, stats) {
  // human readable file size:
  // SI: kB,MB,GB,TB,PB,EB,ZB,YB / IEC: KiB,MiB,GiB,TiB,PiB,EiB,ZiB,YiB
  console.log(fs.fileSizeSI(stats.size), fs.fileSizeIEC(stats.size));
  // -> 34.30 kB / 33.50 KiB
});

// async example Asynchronous readdir(3)
// see node js fs api http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_readdir_path_callback
fs.readdir('/', function (err, files) {
  ...
});

// Asynchronous rename(2) / move directory (or file)
fs.rename('/subdir1/subdir1-1', '/subdir2/subdir2-1', function (err) {
  ...
});

// fs.access(path[, mode], callback)
fs.access('/path/to/file', function (err) {
  ...
});

// access to node path

BrowserFs.path.join(''/a/b', '../c');  // '/a/c'
BrowserFs.path.normalize('/a/b/..c');  // '/a/c'

// access to node Buffer
vart buf = BrowserFs.Buffer.from('tést', 'utf8'); 
buf.toString('utf8'); // 'tést'

Have a look at the example folder.

Open index.html in browser, drop the github timeout png, click on the filename to download..
