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)

Build Status

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:fs_shim/fs.dart';
import 'package:fs_shim/fs_memory.dart';
import 'package:path/path.dart';

main() async {
  FileSystem fs = newMemoryFileSystem();

  // Create a top level directory
  Directory dir = fs.newDirectory('/dir');

  // and a file in it
  File file = fs.newFile(join(dir.path, "file"));

  // create a file
  await file.create(recursive: true);
  await file.writeAsString("Hello world!");

  // read a file
  print('file: ${await file.readAsString()}');

  // use a file link if supported
  if (fs.supportsFileLink) {
    Link link = fs.newLink(join(dir.path, "link"));
    await link.create(file.path);

    print('link: ${await fs.newFile(link.path).readAsString()}');
  }

  // list dir content
  print(await dir.list(recursive: true, followLinks: true).toList());
}

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

Simple example

import 'package:fs_shim/fs_io.dart';
import 'package:path/path.dart';

main() async {
  FileSystem fs = ioFileSystem;
  // safe place when running from package root
  String dirPath = join(Directory.current.path, 'test_out', 'example', 'dir');

  // Create a top level directory
  // fs.newDirectory('/dir');
  Directory dir = new Directory(dirPath);

  // delete its content
  await dir.delete(recursive: true);

  // and a file in it
  // fs.newFile(join(dir.path, "file"));
  File file = new File(join(dir.path, "file"));

  // create a file
  await file.create(recursive: true);
  await file.writeAsString("Hello world!");

  // read a file
  print('file: ${await file.readAsString()}');

  // use a file link if supported
  if (fs.supportsFileLink) {
    // fs.newLink(join(dir.path, "link"));
    Link link = new Link(join(dir.path, "link"));
    await link.create(file.path);

    print('link: ${await new File(link.path).readAsString()}');
  }

  // list dir content
  print(await dir.list(recursive: true, followLinks: true).toList());
}

Utilities #

  • Lightweight glob support (**, * and ? in a posix style path)
  • Copy utilities (copy files, directories recursively)

Features and bugs #

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