SDK: Dateien und Speicher

Die Methoden liegen auf app.files, app.trash und app.jobs (siehe App und Verbindung); diese Seite enthält die Typen, die sie annehmen und zurückgeben. Pfade sind relativ zu einem Ort mit / als Trenner; eine App sieht nie einen Pfad auf dem Host.

Schnittstellen

ShareLocation

A share from files.shares, the only location the versions and the recycle bin take: a storage request is a folder inside a share, without snapshots or a bin of its own.

Eigenschaften

share: string;

The id of a share from files.shares.

FileEntry

One entry of a folder.

Eigenschaften

name

name: string;

Name within its folder.

kind

kind: FileKind;

What the entry is.

size

size: number;

Bytes for files, 0 for folders.

modified

modified: string;

Last change of the content, ISO 8601 UTC.

ShareInfo

A share the user can use, with the user’s own access.

Eigenschaften

id

id: string;

Stable id, used as { share: id }.

name

name: string;

Name shown to users.

access

access: 'read' | 'readWrite';

The user’s access: read, or readWrite to change files.

unavailable?

optional unavailable?: "poolMissing" | "poolUnavailable" | "notMounted";

Set while the share’s files cannot be reached: poolMissing (its disks are not connected), poolUnavailable (its pool stopped because disks are missing) or notMounted. Calls on it fail with fs.share.unavailable until the share is back, which sharesChanged announces.

kind?

optional kind?: "home" | "userHome";

Set for a home instead of a shared folder: home is the user’s own (named home), userHome another user’s home (named after its folder), which only the core apps of administrators see. Left out for a shared folder.

FolderPage

One page of a folder.

Eigenschaften

StorageRequest

A place for files the app needs, declared by name and shown to the administrator with its name, for example “Photo library”. At install an administrator maps it to a folder in a shared folder (and can change that later). The app only ever sees the name and paths inside it: the window reaches it through the SDK file API as { storage: id }, the backend services listed in services find it as the Compose volume named id. Users reach it with their own rights on the mapped folder, never with more than access.

Eigenschaften

id

id: string;

Unique within the app.

name

name: LocalizedName;

description?

optional description?: LocalizedText;

access

access: 'read' | 'readWrite';

The most the app may do with the mapped folder: read or readWrite. Users never get more than their own rights on the folder, and with read every backend service mounts it read-only.

required

required: boolean;

The app cannot start until this storage is mapped.

services?

optional services?: string[];

Backend services that mount this storage. Needs a backend.

Min Items

FileHandler

Files the app can open. The desktop offers the app in “Open with” only for these types and sends it only such files (launch, openFile). An extension belongs to one handler only.

Eigenschaften

extensions

extensions: string[];

Lowercase extensions without the leading dot, for example png or tar.gz.

Min Items

Max Items

mimeTypes?

optional mimeTypes?: string[];

MIME types, for example image/png.

Min Items

Max Items

isDefault?

optional isDefault?: boolean;

Whether the app is the default for these files when it is the only handler.

FileRef

A file the user handed to the app (opened with it, or picked in a desktop dialog). The app never learns where the file is: ref is an opaque handle, valid for this user and app, that only the SDK file API accepts.

Eigenschaften

ref

ref: string;

Opaque handle; only the SDK file API accepts it.

name

name: string;

File name with extension, for display.

type?

optional type?: string;

MIME type, when known.

size

size: number;

Size in bytes.

modified

modified: string;

Last change, ISO 8601 UTC.

writable

writable: boolean;

Whether the app may write it (files.write and the user’s rights on it).

StorageInfo

A storage request of the manifest and where it stands.

Eigenschaften

id

id: string;

The id of the request in the manifest; reach it as { storage: id }.

state

state: StorageState;

Whether the storage can be used now.

access

access: 'read' | 'readWrite' | null;

What the mapping allows (never more than the manifest requests), or null while it is unmapped.

Typenaliasse

FileKind

type FileKind = 'file' | 'folder' | 'symlink' | 'other';

What an entry is. Symlinks are listed as themselves and never followed in listings.

FileLocation

type FileLocation =
  | {
      storage: string;
    }
  | ShareLocation;

Where paths start: a named storage from the manifest, or a share by its id (needs files.shares). Paths inside are relative, with / as separator, and never leave it; . and .. are refused.

Union-Mitglieder

Typenliteral

{
  storage: string;
}

storage

storage: string;

The id of a storage request in the manifest.

ShareLocation

SortKey

type SortKey = 'name' | 'size' | 'modified';

Order of a folder listing. Name order is natural (“file2” before “file10”) and ignores case.

SortOrder

type SortOrder = 'asc' | 'desc';

Ascending or descending; folders count as the smallest size.

FileItems

type FileItems =
  | {
      names: string[];
    }
  | {
      all: true;
      except: string[];
    };

Entries of one folder that an operation works on. all with except names a whole folder without listing it, so selecting everything in a folder of 100,000 entries never sends 100,000 names.

Union-Mitglieder

Typenliteral

{
  names: string[];
}

names

names: string[];

The names of the entries, 1 to 1000.

Typenliteral

{
  all: true;
  except: string[];
}

all

all: true;

Every entry of the folder.

except

except: string[];

Names to leave out, at most 1000.

ConflictPolicy

type ConflictPolicy = 'fail' | 'skip' | 'overwrite' | 'rename';

What happens when the target already has an entry of the same name: fail stops the job with fs.entry.exists, skip leaves the entry out, overwrite replaces files and merges folders, rename picks a free name such as “Report (2).pdf”.

JobState

type JobState = 'queued' | 'running' | 'succeeded' | 'failed' | 'cancelled' | 'interrupted';

Where a job is: waiting, running, or finished in one of four ways (interrupted by a daemon restart).

StorageState

type StorageState = 'ready' | 'unmapped' | 'locked' | 'unavailable';

The state of a storage the manifest requests: ready (mapped to a folder that can be reached), unmapped (no administrator assigned a folder yet), locked (its pool is encrypted and locked) or unavailable (its pool or folder is missing).
