Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Node FS wrapper for Dropbox API

Readme

dropbox-fs Build Status codecov npm version

Node fs wrapper for Dropbox. Wraps the Dropbox javascript module with an async fs-like API so it can be used where a fileSystem API is expected.

Installation

To use this module you'll need a Dropbox Access Token.

$ npm install --save dropbox-fs

Usage

const dfs = require('dropbox-fs')({
    apiKey: 'DROPBOX_API_KEY_HERE'
});

dfs.readdir('/Public', (err, result) => {
    console.log(result); // Array of files and folders
});

Promises are also supported.

const dfs = require('dropbox-fs/promises')({
    apiKey: 'DROPBOX_API_KEY_HERE'
});

You can also pass in a client option if you’re using your own dropbox module instead of the apiKey.

If you'd like some peace of mind then there's a read-only option too:

const dfs = require('dropbox-fs/readonly')({
    apiKey: 'DROPBOX_API_KEY_HERE'
});

// Methods that might change data now return an error without performing any action:
// - mkdir
// - rename
// - rmdir
// - unlink
// - writeFile

dfs.unlink('/Public', (err) => {
    console.log(err); // Message saying `unlink` is not supported in read-only
});

API

This module exposes the following methods:

readdir(path[, options], callback)

Reads a directory and returns a list of files and folders inside.

dfs.readdir('/', (err, result) => {
    console.log(result);
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • callback: Function

mkdir(path, callback)

Creates a directory.

dfs.mkdir('/Public/Resume', (err, stat) => {
    console.log(stat.name); // Resume
    console.log(stat.isDirectory()); // true
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • callback: Function

rmdir(path, callback)

Deletes a directory.

dfs.rmdir('/Public/Resume', err => {
    if (!err) {
        console.log('Deleted.');
    }
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • callback: Function

readFile(path[, options], callback)

Reads a file and returns it’s contents.

// Buffer:
dfs.readFile('/Work/doc.txt', (err, result) => {
    console.log(result.toString('utf8'));
});

// String
dfs.readFile('/Work/doc.txt', {encoding: 'utf8'}, (err, result) => {
    console.log(result);
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • options: Optional String|Object
    • encoding: String
  • callback: Function

If you pass a string as the options parameter, it will be used as options.encoding. If you don’t provide an encoding, a raw Buffer will be passed to the callback.

writeFile(path, data[, options], callback)

Writes a file to the remote API and returns it’s stat.

const content = fs.readFileSync('./localfile.md');
dfs.writeFile('/Public/doc.md', content, {encoding: 'utf8'}, (err, stat) => {
    console.log(stat.name); // doc.md
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • data: String|Buffer
  • options: Optional String|Object
    • encoding: String
    • overwrite: Boolean Default: true.
  • callback: Function

rename(fromPath, toPath, callback)

Renames a file (moves it to a new location).

dfs.rename('/Public/doc.md', '/Backups/doc-backup.md', err => {
    if err {
        console.error('Failed!');
    } else {
        console.log('Moved!');
    }
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • data: String|Buffer
  • callback: Function

stat(path, callback)

Returns the file/folder information.

dfs.stat('/Some/Remote/Folder/', (err, stat) => {
    console.log(stat.isDirectory()); // true
    console.log(stat.name); // Folder
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • callback: Function
    • err: null|Error
    • stat: Stat Object

unlink(path, callback)

Deletes a file.

dfs.unlink('/Path/To/file.txt', err => {
    if (!err) {
        console.log('Deleted!');
    }
});
  • path: String|Buffer
  • callback: Function

createReadStream(path)

Creates a readable stream.

const stream = fs.createReadStream('/test/test1.txt');
stream.on('data', data => {
    console.log('data', data);
});
stream.on('end', () => {
    console.log('stream finished');
});
  • path: String|Buffer

createWriteStream(path)

Creates a writable stream.

const stream = fs.createWriteStream('/test/test1.txt');

someStream().pipe(stream).on('finish', () => {
    console.log('write stream finished');
});
  • path: String|Buffer

Stat Object

The stat object that is returned from writeFile() and stat() contains two methods in addition to some standard information like name, etc:

  • stat.isDirectory() Returns true if the target is a directory
  • stat.isFile() Returns true if the target is a file
