localstorage-fs

node's fs module for the browser backed by localStorage

why

there is this, but i needed sync methods

how

browserify and use it like you would in node land

api

same as in node but a bunch of methods are not implemented yet, view the source

implementation details

• file data and file metadata are stored under two prefixes: 'file://' and 'file-meta://' respectively
• raw file data is stored as base64 encoded strings under the file:// prefix
• directory listings are indexed as comma separated lists of file names under the file:// prefix
• stats are indexed under the file-meta:// prefix
• fs.WriteStream and fs.ReadStream are unavailable until you call fs.create[Read|Write]Stream
• process.chdir, process.cwd and process.umask are shimmed by this module for now

example

there is a very simple example: do npm run exemplify then open example/index.html in your browser console

test

no tests yet - maybe node's fs tests would work?
