fs_shim

A portable file system library to allow working on io and browser (though idb_shim) and memory (through idb_shim), and soon google storage (through storage api), google drive (through google drive api)

API supported

Classes

• File (create, openWrite, openRead, writeAsBytes, writeAsString, copy)
• Link (create, target)
• Directory (create, list)
• FileSystem (newDirectory, newFile, newLink, type, isFile, isDirectory, isLink)
• FileSystemEntity (path, exists, delete, rename, absolute, isAbsolute, state, parent)
• FileStat
• FileSystemEntityType,
• FileSystemException,

Static method (IO only)

• Directory.current
• FileSystemEntity.isFile
• FileSystemEntity.isDirectory
• FileSystemEntity.isLink

Usage

In memory

A simple usage example:

import 'package:tekartik_fs_shim/fs_memory.dart';

main() async {
  FileSystem fs = newMemoryFileSystem();
  Directory dir = fs.newDirectory("dummy");
  await dir.create();
}

Using IO API

Replace

import 'dart:io';

with

import 'package:fs_shim/fs_io.dart';

Then a reduced set of the IO API can be used, same source code that might requires some cleanup if you import from existing code

Utilities

• Lightweight glob support (**, * and ? in a posix style path)
• Copy classes (alpha)

Features and bugs

• On windows file link are not supported (fs.supportsFileLink returns false)
• On windows directory link target are absolutes
