Stowage
A Go filesystem package for working with files and directories, it features a simple API with support for the common files and directories operations such as copy, move, list files, file exists check, and more.
Install
To install stowage run the following command:
go get github.com/harranali/stowage
Getting Started
// get the absolute path to the root directory
rootFolder, _ := filepath.Abs("./my-base-folder")
// first create the package variable
s := stowage.New()
// Initiate the storage with root directory
s.InitLocalStorage(stowage.LocalStorageOpts{
RootFolder: rootFolder,
})
// get file information
info, _ := s.LocalStorage.FileInfo("testfile.txt")
fmt.Println(info.Name) // the file name with extension
fmt.Println(info.NameWithoutExtension) // the file name without extension
fmt.Println(info.Extension) // the file extension
// copy file
err := s.LocalStorage.Copy("myfile.txt", "files/backup/txt")
Root folder
The rootFolder acts as the reference for all operations, it has to be a full absolute path here is how you can get the absolute path for your root folder:
// get the absolute path to the root directory
rootFolder, _ := filepath.Abs("./my-base-folder")
Package initiation
you need first to create the package variable by calling the method New s := stowage.New(), next you need to initiate the storage engine by calling the method s.InitLocalStorage(opts) and pass to it the options, the code below shows how you can create the variable and initiate the storage engine
// first create the package variable
s := stowage.New()
rootFolder, _ := filepath.Abs("./my-base-folder")
// Initiate the storage enginey
s.InitLocalStorage(stowage.LocalStorageOpts{
RootFolder: rootFolder,
})
Getting File information
Here is how you can get information about a file such as name, extension, size, and more.
rootFolder, _ := filepath.Abs("./my-base-folder")
s := stowage.New()
s.InitLocalStorage(stowage.LocalStorageOpts{
RootFolder: rootFolder,
})
info, _ := s.LocalStorage.FileInfo("testfile.txt")
fmt.Println(info.Name) // the file name with extension
fmt.Println(info.NameWithoutExtension) // the file name without extension
fmt.Println(info.Extension) // the file extension
fmt.Println(info.Size) // the file size
fmt.Println(info.Path) // the file full path
Example operations
All file operations are performed with respect to the root directory
rootFolder, _ := filepath.Abs("./my-base-folder")
s := stowage.New()
s.InitLocalStorage(stowage.LocalStorageOpts{
RootFolder: rootFolder,
})
// copy file to the root directory from external directory
s.LocalStorage.Put(filePath string) error
// copy file to the root directory from external directory with the given name
s.LocalStorage.PutAs(filePath string, filename string) error
// copy file around within the root directory
s.LocalStorage.Copy(filePath string, destfolder string) error
// copy file around within the root directory with given name as third param
s.LocalStorage.CopyAs(filePath string, destfolder string, newFilePath string) error
// move file around within the root directory
s.LocalStorage.Move(filePath string, destfolder string) error
// rename a file
s.LocalStorage.Rename(filePath string, newFilePath string) error
