File #

A generic file system abstraction for Dart.

Features #

Like dart:io, package:file supplies a rich Dart-idiomatic API for accessing a file system.

Unlike dart:io, package:file:

Can be used to implement custom file systems.
Comes with an in-memory implementation out-of-the-box, making it super-easy to test code that works with the file system.
Allows using multiple file systems simultaneously. A file system is a first-class object. Instantiate however many you want and use them all.

Usage #

Implement your own custom file system:

import 'package:file/file.dart';

class FooBarFileSystem implements FileSystem { ... }

Use the in-memory file system:

import 'package:file/memory.dart';

var fs = new MemoryFileSystem();

Use the local file system (requires dart:io access):

import 'package:file/local.dart';

var fs = const LocalFileSystem();

5.0.8 #

Return Uint8List rather than List

5.0.7 #

Dart 2 fixes for RecordingProxyMixin and ReplayProxyMixin.

5.0.6 #

Dart 2 fixes for RecordingFile.open()

5.0.5 #

Dart 2 fixes

5.0.4 #

Update SDK constraint to 2.0.0-dev.67.0, remove workaround in recording_proxy_mixin.dart.
Fix usage within Dart 2 runtime mode in Dart 2.0.0-dev.61.0 and later.
Relax constraints on package:test

5.0.3 #

Update package:test dependency to 1.0

5.0.2 #

Declare compatibility with Dart 2 stable

5.0.1 #

Remove upper case constants
Update SDK constraint to 2.0.0-dev.54.0.

5.0.0 #

Moved testing library into a dedicated package:file_testing so that libraries don't need to take on a transitive dependency on package:test in order to use package:file.

4.0.1 #

General library cleanup
Add style support in MemoryFileSystem, so that callers can choose to have a memory file system with windows-like paths. [#68] (https://github.com/google/file.dart/issues/68)

4.0.0 #

Change method signature for RecordingRandomAccessFile._close to return a Future<void> instead of Future<RandomAccessFile>. This follows a change in dart:io, Dart SDK 2.0.0-dev.40.

3.0.0 #

Import dart:io unconditionally. More recent Dart SDK revisions allow dart:io to be imported in a browser context, though if methods are actually invoked, they will fail. This matches well with package:file, where users can use the memory library and get in-memory implementations of the dart:io interfaces.
Bump minimum Dart SDK to 1.24.0

2.3.7 #

Fix Dart 2 error.

2.3.6 #

Relax sdk upper bound constraint to '<2.0.0' to allow 'edge' dart sdk use.

2.3.5 #

Fix internal use of a cast which fails on Dart 2.0 .

2.3.4 #

Bumped maximum Dart SDK version to 2.0.0-dev.infinity

2.3.3 #

Relaxes version requirements on package:intl

2.3.2 #

Fixed FileSystem.directory(Uri), FileSystem.file(Uri), and FileSystem.link(Uri) to consult the file system's path context when converting the URI to a file path rather than using Uri.toFilePath().

2.3.1 #

Fixed MemoryFileSystem to make File.writeAs...() update the last modified time of the file.

2.3.0 #

Added the following convenience methods in Directory:
- Directory.childDirectory(String basename)
- Directory.childFile(String basename)
- Directory.childLink(String basename)

2.2.0 #

Added ErrorCodes class, which holds errno values.

2.1.0 #

Add support for new dart:io API methods added in Dart SDK 1.23

2.0.1 #

Minor doc updates

2.0.0 #

Improved toString implementations in file system entity classes
Added ForwardingFileSystem and associated forwarding classes to the main file library
Removed FileSystem.pathSeparator, and added a more comprehensive FileSystem.path property
Added FileSystemEntity.basename and FileSystemEntity.dirname
Added the record_replay library
Added the testing library

1.0.1 #

Added FileSystem.systemTempDirectory
Added the ability to pass Uri and FileSystemEntity types to FileSystem.directory(), FileSystem.file(), and FileSystem.link()
Added FileSystem.pathSeparator

1.0.0 #

Unified interface to match dart:io API
Local file system implementation
In-memory file system implementation
Chroot file system implementation

0.1.0 #

Maintenance suggestions

Maintain an example. (-10 points)

Create a short demo in the example/ directory to show how to use this package.

Common filename patterns include main.dart, example.dart, and file.dart. Packages with multiple examples should provide example/README.md.
