fromPaged(options)

Asynchronously reads multiple files from disk and returns the items.

options:

• autoDelete Boolean default = false
• filenames Array

Example:

fs.writeFileSync('page1.json', [1, 2]);
fs.writeFileSync('page2.json', [3, 4]);

asyncplifyFs
	.fromPaged(['page1.json', 'page2.json'])
	.subscribe({
		emit: function (data) {
			console.log(data);
		},
		end: function (err) {
			if (err) throw err;
		}
	});
    
    // 1
    // 2
    // 3
    // 4
    // end.

When autoDelete = true, the the files are automatically deleted from the disk once loaded.

readFile(options)

Asynchronously reads the entire contents of a file.

options:

• path String
• encoding String | Null default = null
• flag String default = 'r'

Example:

asyncplifyFs
	.readFile('/etc/passwd')
	.subscribe({
		emit: function (data) {
			console.log(data);
		},
		end: function (err) {
			if (err) throw err;
		}
	});

toPaged(options)

Asynchronously write a page of items to files on disk and returns the filename. The filenames are generated based on temp folder.

options:

• beforeSaving Function
• size Number default = 0

Example:

asyncplify
	.fromArray([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
	.pipe(asyncplifyFs.toPaged(2))
	.subscribe(emit: console.bind(console));

    // /user/temp/1231nnuukkasdppasd
	// /user/temp/488fdjj31n324nuukd-sspsd
	// /user/temp/9003403mmfjue003-llhpt
    // end.

The beforeSaving functions allow to transform the items prior to saving, such as sorting, etc. When the size is not provided, the method will produce a single page containing all items.

writeFile(options)

Asynchronously writes data to a file, replacing the file if it already exists. data can be a string or a buffer.

options:

• path String
• data String | Buffer
• encoding String | Null default = 'utf8'
• mode Number default = 438
• flag String default = 'w'

Example:

asyncplifyFs
	.writeFile({
		path: 'message.txt',
		data: 'Hello asyncplify'
	})
	.subscribe({
		emit: function (data) {
			console.log(data);
		},
		end: function (err) {
			if (err) throw err;
		}
	});
