hyperdrive-import-files

hyperdrive-import-files

Import the contents of a folder into a hyperdrive, and optionally keep watching for changes.

Example

const hyperdrive = require('hyperdrive')
const memdb = require('memdb')
const hyperImport = require('hyperdrive-import-files')

const drive = hyperdrive(memdb())
const archive = drive.createArchive()

hyperImport(archive, 'a/directory/', err => {
  // ...
})

Installation

$ npm install hyperdrive-import-files

API

hyperImport(archive, target, [, options][, cb])

Recursively import target, which is the path to a directory or file, into archive and call cb with the potential error. The import happens sequentually. Returns a status object.

Options

• watch: watch files for changes & import on change (archive must be live)
• overwrite: allow files in the archive to be overwritten (defaults to true)
• compareFileContent: compare import-candidates to archive's internal copy. If false, will only compare mtime and file-size, which is faster but may reslt in false-positives. (defaults to false)
• basePath: where in the archive should the files import to? (defaults to '')
• ignore: anymatch expression to ignore files
• dryRun: step through the import, but don't write any files to the archive (defaults to false)
• indexing: Useful if target === dest so hyperdrive does not rewrite the files on import.

To enable watching, set watch: true, like this:

const status = hyperImport(archive, target, { watch: true }, err => {
  console.log('initial import done')
})
status.on('error', err => {
  // ...
})
// when you want to quit:
status.close()

If you want to import into a subfolder, set basePath:

hyperImport(archive, target, { basePath: '/some/subdir' }, err => {...})

status

Events:

• error (err)
• file imported ({ path, mode=updated|created })
• file skipped ({ path })
• file watch event ({ path, mode=updated|created })

Properties:

• fileCount: The count of currently known files
• totalSize: Total file size in bytes
• bytesImported: Amount of bytes imported so far
