WIP File Tree API

[kaloyan-raev]

Fixes #10

[TopperDEL]

It is working so far!

But I would still propose to return a generic "Content"-object - that Can be either a file or a Folder. Havin a file-object with the property "isDirectory" feels wrong. But that is just my opinion and not a big deal.

What I also would suggest is to put the methods "getChildren" into another helper-object to seperate that logic from the base-storj-functions. So if we introduce a Kind of "StorjExtended"-class or "StorjDirectoryHelper" it would make it more clear what happens here. On constructing such an object, you could take the original storj-object as Parameter so you Can call the base-functions.
Can you follow me? I'm Feeling like I cannot express myself currently. :)

But for the Moment, this helps me alot developing my next-project, the StorjFS filesystem. :) Thank you!

One of the options I considered was indeed a higher level API that calls the current low level API. It's good that you share the same thoughts, so I will explore this direction in my next iteration today.

[TopperDEL]

High Level API and Low Level API - These were the words I was missing yesterday. :)

Yes, I would suggest that, too.

[kaloyan-raev]

I've pushed the reworked API. Look at the FileTreeExample for usage.

[TopperDEL]

Looks good! Will have a deeper look at it - but might not happen before easter. But the coding and structures Looks good. Thank you for your effort and help!

Both constructors of class Dir Need to be public - otherwise I cannot wrap them correctly.

[TopperDEL]

I'm fine with that coding - I don't Need the Dir-constructor to be Public anymore.

[TopperDEL]

We Need to buffer the entries, though. Maybe if you just load the bucket-Contents once until a Change-Operation is performed?

[TopperDEL]

Seems I found an error - but I'm not completely sure (it's late and I'm tired :) ).

I have a bucket called "Filezilla2" with the following Content (exemplary):
"Filezilla2\Richtfest\Norah Jones\Come Away With Me\Painter Song.mp3"

If I move from Filezilla2 to Richtfest and should get the conent "Norah Jones" - I get "Norah Jones\Come Away With Me" instead. So your logic seems to jump over one Directory-depth. Maybe you can reproduce that.

👋 Hey! Thanks for this contribution. Apologies for the delay in responding!

We've decided to rearchitect Storj, so that we can scale better. You can read more about this decision here. This means that we are entirely focused on v3 at the moment, in the storj/storj repository. Our white paper for v3 is coming very, very soon - follow along on the blog and in our Rocketchat.

As this repository is part of the v2 network, we're no longer maintaining this repository. I am going to close this for now. If you have any questions, I encourage you to jump on Rocketchat and ask them there. Thanks!
