asset-pipe-sink-fs

A asset-pipe sink for writing to and reading from local file system.

The intention of the asset-pipe sink modules is to use be able to write and read files to different backends by just swapping modules. By each sink implementing the same public API it is possible to ex use this module in one environment and another sink module in another environment.

These sinks are normally used by the asset-pipe-build-server.

Installation

$ npm install asset-pipe-sink-fs

});

app.get('/', (req, res, next) => {
    const file = sink.reader('feed.json');
    file.on('file not found', () => {
        res.status(404).send('File not found');
    });
    file.on('file found', () => {
