iotdb-fs

Pipeline Oriented Programming (POP) FS functions

Examples

There is sample code in samples/fs.js.

All examples set up with:

const _ = require("iotdb-helpers")
const fs = require("iotdb-fs")

Note that this can probably be used async style, but I haven't tried it

let self;

self = await fs.list({ path: "." })
self = await fs.all(fs.read.json)(self)

console.log(self.jsons)

fs.all: apply a function to all self.paths

The results are returned in:

• self.jsons - all valid JSON results
• self.documents - all valid documents
• self.outputs - all results

Each output looks like:

• self.path - the path
• self.json - JSON document, if any
• self.document - document, if any
• self.document_media_type - media type, if any
• self.error - error reported, if any

read all JSON files

Failures will reported in self.outputs. sd.jsons will only contain files successfully read

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
    fs$filter_name: name => name.endsWith(".json"),
})
    .then(fs.list)
    .then(fs.all(fs.read.json))
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.jsons))

read all documents files

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
})
    .then(fs.list)
    .then(fs.all(fs.read.utf8))
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.documents))

fs.list: list contents of a folder

single folder

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
})
    .then(fs.list)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.paths))

recursive

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
})
    .then(fs.list.recursive)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.paths))

filter

filter checks the filename. filter_path is also available.

This will only return files named *.json.

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
    fs$file_name: name => name.endsWith(".json"),
})
    .then(fs.list.recursive)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.paths))

parer

parer checks the filename; if it does not match that particular file will not be considered for recursion. parer_path is also available.

In the following examples, files in the .git folder are ignored (note that the .git folder itself will be listed).

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
    fs$parer_name: name === ".git",
})
    .then(fs.list.recursive)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.paths))

search depth first

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
    fs$parer_name: name === ".git",
})
    .then(fs.list.depth_first)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.paths))

sort names

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
    fs$sorter: fs.sorter.natural_ignore_case,
})
    .then(fs.list)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.paths))

Options (so far) are:

• fs.sorter.natural - A, B, C, a, b, c,
• fs.sorter.natural_ignore_case - A, a, B, b, C, c

We need to add an option for a locale-sensitive sort

fs.make.directory: make directories

Note that no error is reported if the folder already exists

_.promise.make({
    path: "delete-me",
})
    .then(fs.make.directory.parent)

fs.make.directory.parent - make parent folder

_.promise.make({
    path: "delete-me/write-json.json",
    json: { "hello": "world" },
})
    .then(fs.make.directory.parent)
    .then(fs.write.json)

fs.read - read files

Reading documents will modify:

• self.document
• self.document_media_type

The document may be a String or Buffer depending on the function you choose.

The one except is fs.read.json, that returns its result in self.json

fs.read - prefer versions below

fs.read.buffer - read into buffer

fs.read.json - read into JSON

_.promise.make({
    path: "info.json",
})
    .then(fs.read.json)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.json))

fs.read.json -- magic JSON reading

This will work with .csv, .txt and .yaml files, as well as "-" for stdin.

You must independently install js-yaml and/or csvtojson according to your needs.

fs.read.utf8 - read UTF-8 document

_.promise.make({
    path: "doc.txt",
})
    .then(fs.read.utf8)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.document_media_type, sd.document))

fs.read.stdin - read stdin

fs.write

fs.write.utf8: write UTF-8 document

_.promise.make({
    path: "write.txt",
    document: "Hello, world / 你好，世界\n",
})
    .then(fs.make.directory.parent)
    .then(fs.write.utf8)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.path))

fs.write.buffer: write Buffer

_.promise.make({
    path: "write.txt",
    document: Buffer.from("Hello, world / 你好，世界\n", "utf-8"),
})
    .then(fs.make.directory.parent)
    .then(fs.write.buffer)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.path))

fs.remove: remove file

Note that no error is reported if the file does not exist

fs.remove.directory: remove directory

Note that no error is reported if the directory does not exist

fs.remove.recursive: remove a bunch off stuff

NOT IMPLEMENTED

fs.tmpfile: make a temporary file

The path of the file will be placed in self.path. The file will disappear when the process exits.

fs.truncate: truncate a file

self.document_length can be used to control where the truncation happens

fs.exists: does it exist?

Test whether an object on the filesystem exists. self.exists will be set to true or false as appropriate

_.promise.make({
    path: "doc.txt",
})
    .then(fs.exists)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.path, sd.exists)

fs.is.*: test file type

Test whether an object is of a certain type self.exists will be set to true or false as appropriate

fs.is.file: is it a normal file type

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

_.promise.make({
    path: "doc.txt",
})
    .then(fs.is.file)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.path, "is-file", sd.exists)

fs.is.file: is it a normal file type

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
})
    .then(fs.is.directory)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.path, "is-directory", sd.exists)

fs.is.symbolic_link: is it a symbolic link

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

_.promise.make({
    path: ".",
})
    .then(fs.is.symbolic_link)
    .then(sd => console.log("+", "ok", sd.path, "is-symbolic-link", sd.exists)
