hook.io-vfs

UNRELEASED / WIP

Node.js module that powers the hook.io platform's Virtual Filesystem.

Introduction

This module is the component which hook.io uses to allow users to manage remote cloud files across many adapters using a familiar local filesystem based API.

You are encouraged to use this module as-is, or modify it to suite your needs. If you are interested in contributing please let us know!

Features

• Provides a Virtual Filesystem for all major cloud storage providers
• Provides a Virtual Filesystems over SSH / SFTP
• Provides unified filesystem API which maps one-to-one with Node.js core fs module
• 117+ passing integration tests

API

Creating a new Client

see: config/index.js for configuration options

var vfs = require('hook.io-vfs');
var client = vfs.createClient(options);
client.writeFile('hello.txt', 'i am a file!', function (err, file){
  console.log(err, file)
});

Uploading / Downloading Files

Callback Style

vfs.upload(path, contents, cb);

vfs.download(path, cb);

Stream Interface

var writeStream = vfs.upload(path, contents);

var readStream = vfs.download(path, contents);

All other fs operations

Each adapter does it's best to maps one-to-one with the Node.js core fs module API interface.
