localstorage-fs

localstorage-fs

node's fs module backed by localStorage

why

this would be way better, but i needed the sync methods

how

browserify and use like you would in node land

api coverage

• fs.rename(oldPath, newPath, callback)
• fs.renameSync(oldPath, newPath)
• fs.truncate(path, len, callback)
• fs.truncateSync(path, len)
• fs.chmod(path, mode, callback)
• fs.chmodSync(path, mode)
• fs.stat(path, callback)
• fs.statSync(path)
• fs.unlink(path, callback)
• fs.unlinkSync(path)
• fs.rmdir(path, callback)
• fs.rmdirSync(path)
• fs.mkdir(path, callback)
• fs.mkdirSync(path, mode)
• fs.readdir(path, callback)
• fs.readdirSync(path)
• fs.readFile(path, options, callback)
• fs.readFileSync(path, options)
• fs.writeFile(path, data, options, callback)
• fs.writeFileSync(path, data, options)
• fs.appendFile(path, data, options, callback)
• fs.appendFileSync(path, data, options)
• fs.exists(path, callback)
• fs.existsSync(path)
• fs.createWriteStream(path, options)
• fs.createReadStream(path, options)

others that could probably be implemented here

tests / example

• get browserify
• get bash
• npm run test
• npm run example

implementation

• file data and directory listings are keyed by '/path/name' under the prefix: 'file://'
• meta data (also keyed by path name) is stored as JSON stringified fs.Stats instances under 'file-meta://'
• file contents are stored as base64 encoded strings which means binary files work
• directory listings are stored as newline delimited plain strings (like ls(1))
• async methods are faked with process.nextTick
• streams are faked by buffering into memory

notes

• some fs related process methods are shimmed out by this module for now
