Documentation

Overview

Package memfs provide a library for mapping file system into memory and to generate a go file.

Usage

By default only file with size less or equal to 5 MB will be included in memory. To increase the default size set the MaxFileSize (in bytes). For example, to set maximum file size to 10 MB,

memfs.MaxFileSize = 1024 * 1024 * 10

The first step is to create new instance of memfs using "New()".

incs := []string{
	`.*/include`,
	`.*\.(css|html|js)$`,
}
excs := []string{
	`.*/exclude`,
}
mfs, err := memfs.New(incs, excs)

and then we mount the directory that we want into memory using "Mount()",

err := mfs.Mount("./testdata")

Later, if we want to get the file from memory, call "Get()" and access the content with "node.V". Remember that if file size is larger that maximum, the content will need to be read manually,

node, err := mfs.Get()
if err != nil {
	// Handle file not exist
}
if node.mode.IsDir() {
	// Handle directory.
}
if node.V == nil {
	// Handle large file.
	node.V, err = ioutil.ReadFile(child.SysPath)
}
// Do something with content of file system.

Thats it!

Go Generate

memfs also support generating the files into Go generated source file. After we Mount the directory, we can call,

mfs.GoGenerate("mypackage", "output/path/file.go", memfs.EncodingGzip)

The Go generated file will be defined with package named "mypackage" in file "output/path/file.go" with each content encoded (compressed) using gzip.

Constants

const (
	EncodingGzip = "gzip"
)

List of valid content encoding for ContentEncode().

Variables

var (
	// MaxFileSize define maximum file size that can be stored on memory.
	// The default value is 5 MB.
	MaxFileSize int64 = 1024 * 1024 * 5

	// Development define a flag to bypass file in memory.  If its
	// true, any call to Get will result in direct read to file system.
	Development bool

	// GeneratedPathNode contains the mapping of path and node.  Its will
	// be used and initialized by ".go" file generated from GoGenerate().
	GeneratedPathNode *PathNode
)

Types

type MemFS

type MemFS struct {
	http.FileSystem
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

MemFS contains directory tree of file system in memory.

func New

func New(dir string, includes, excludes []string, withContent bool) (
	mfs *MemFS, err error,
)

New create and initialize new memory file system from directory dir using list of regular expresssion for including or excluding files.

The includes and excludes pattern applied to path of file in file system, not to the path in memory.

The "withContent" parameter tell the MemFS to read the content of file and detect its content type. If this paramater is false, the content of file will not be mapped to memory, the MemFS will behave as directory tree.

On directory that contains output from GoGenerate(), the includes and excludes does not have any effect, since the content of path and nodes will be overwritten by GeneratedPathNode.

Example

incs := []string{
	`.*/include`,
	`.*\.(css|html|js)$`,
}
excs := []string{
	`.*/exclude`,
}

mfs, err := New("./testdata", incs, excs, true)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

node, err := mfs.Get("/index.html")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Printf("%s", node.V)

Output:

<html></html>

func (*MemFS) AddChild

func (mfs *MemFS) AddChild(parent *Node, fi os.FileInfo) (child *Node, err error)

AddChild add new child to parent node.

func (*MemFS) AddFile

func (mfs *MemFS) AddFile(path string) (*Node, error)

AddFile add the file directly as child of root. The directory and subdirectories in the path will be keep as separated nodes,

func (*MemFS) ContentEncode

func (mfs *MemFS) ContentEncode(encoding string) (err error)

ContentEncode encode each node's content into specific encoding, in other words this method can be used to compress the content of file in memory or before being served or written.

Only file with size greater than 0 will be encoded.

List of known encoding is "gzip".

func (*MemFS) Get

func (mfs *MemFS) Get(path string) (node *Node, err error)

Get the node representation of file in memory. If path is not exist it will return os.ErrNotExist.

func (*MemFS) GoGenerate

func (mfs *MemFS) GoGenerate(pkgName, out, contentEncoding string) (err error)

GoGenerate write the tree nodes as Go generated source file. If pkgName is not defined it will be default to "main". If out is not defined it will be default "memfs_generate.go" and saved in current directory.

If contentEncoding is not empty, it will encode the content of node and set the node ContentEncoding. List of available encoding is "gzip". For example, if contentEncoding is "gzip" it will compress the content of file using gzip and set "ContentEncoding" to "gzip".

func (*MemFS) ListNames

ListNames list all files in memory sorted by name.

func (*MemFS) Open

func (mfs *MemFS) Open(path string) (http.File, error)

Open the named file for reading. This is an alias to Get() method, to make it implement http.FileSystem.

func (*MemFS) RemoveChild

func (mfs *MemFS) RemoveChild(parent *Node, child *Node) (removed *Node)

RemoveChild remove a child on parent, including its map on PathNode. If child is not part if node's childrens it will return nil.

func (*MemFS) Search

func (mfs *MemFS) Search(words []string, snippetLen int) (results []SearchResult)

Search one or more strings in each content of files.

Example

mfs, err := New("./testdata", nil, nil, true)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

q := []string{"body"}
results := mfs.Search(q, 0)

for _, result := range results {
	fmt.Printf("Path: %s\n", result.Path)
	fmt.Printf("Snippets: %q\n", result.Snippets)
}

Output:

Path: /include/index.css
Snippets: ["body {\n}\n"]
Path: /exclude/index.css
Snippets: ["body {\n}\n"]
Path: /index.css
Snippets: ["body {\n}\n"]

func (*MemFS) Update

func (mfs *MemFS) Update(node *Node, newInfo os.FileInfo)

Update the node content and information in memory based on new file information. This method only check if the node name is equal with file name, but it's not checking whether the node is part of memfs (node is parent or have the same root node).

type Node

type Node struct {
	os.FileInfo
	http.File

	SysPath string // The original file path in system.
	Path    string // Absolute file path in memory.

	ContentType     string // File type per MIME, for example "application/json".
	ContentEncoding string // File type encoding, for example "gzip".

	V      []byte  // Content of file.
	Parent *Node   // Pointer to parent directory.
	Childs []*Node // List of files in directory.

	GenFuncName string // The function name for generated Go code.
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Node represent a single file.

func NewNode

func NewNode(parent *Node, fi os.FileInfo, withContent bool) (node *Node, err error)

NewNode create a new node based on file information "fi". If withContent is true, the file content and its type will be saved in node as V and ContentType.
