Gofile is a library that abstracts away the filesystem operations for you, and allows you to plug-in your own filesystem implementation.

Currently there are two drivers:

• godropbox - Dropbox implementation
• golocal - Local FS implementation

Please mind, this is a very alpha release, so please double check the code before trying it in production. Heck, it doesn't even have tests yet :). Be warned.

Gofile was greatly inspired by (copied from) @frankdejonge's Flysystem.

Gofile is licensed under a MIT license.

To get started with using gofile, you require gofile, and at least one driver.

In order to install gofile: go get github.com/Machiel/gofile

If you want to get started using the local driver you'll also have to install that one: go get github.com/Machiel/gofile/golocal

If you want to use the Dropbox driver, you'll have to install some dependencies:

go get golang.org/x/oauth2
go get github.com/stacktic/dropbox

And then get godropbox:

go get github.com/Machiel/gofile/godropbox

package main

import (
    "github.com/Machiel/gofile"
    _ "github.com/Machiel/gofile/golocal"
    _ "github.com/Machiel/gofile/godropbox"
)


func main() {
    // godropbox initialization
    fs, err := gofile.New("dropbox", map[string]string{
        "client_id":     "",
        "client_secret": "",
        "token":         "",
    })

    handleError(err)

    err = fs.Write("myfile.txt", "Hello world!")

    handleError(err)

    // golocal initialization
    localFs, err := gofile.New("local", map[string]string{
        "rootDir" : "/tmp",
    })

    handleError(err)
}

Contributions are more than welcome, you can contribute by providing more implementations, like AWS S3 or FTP.

Other than that, as mentioned earlier, currently there are 0 tests written, so if you want you can help out with that stuff :)!

Other examples:

• Return streams instead of data arrays
• Visibility settings (public/private)
