[Vinyl][vinyl] adapter for the file system.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## What is Vinyl?
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Vinyl][vinyl] is a very simple metadata object that describes a file. When you think of a file, two attributes come to mind: `path` and `contents`. These are the main attributes on a [Vinyl][vinyl] object. A file does not necessarily represent something on your computer’s file system. You have files on S3, FTP, Dropbox, Box, CloudThingly.io and other services. [Vinyl][vinyl] can be used to describe files from all of these sources.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## What is a Vinyl Adapter?
|
||
|
|
||
|
While Vinyl provides a clean way to describe a file, we now need a way to access these files. Each file source needs what we call a "Vinyl adapter". A Vinyl adapter simply exposes a `src(globs)` and a `dest(folder)` method. Each return a stream. The `src` stream produces Vinyl objects, and the `dest` stream consumes Vinyl objects. Vinyl adapters can expose extra methods that might be specific to their input/output medium, such as the `symlink` method `vinyl-fs` provides.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var map = require('map-stream');
|
||
|
var vfs = require('vinyl-fs');
|
||
|
|
||
|
var log = function(file, cb) {
|
||
|
console.log(file.path);
|
||
|
cb(null, file);
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
|
||
|
vfs.src(['./js/**/*.js', '!./js/vendor/*.js'])
|
||
|
.pipe(map(log))
|
||
|
.pipe(vfs.dest('./output'));
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## API
|
||
|
|
||
|
### `src(globs[, options])`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Takes a glob string or an array of glob strings as the first argument and an options object as the second.
|
||
|
Returns a stream of [vinyl] `File` objects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: UTF-8 BOM will be removed from all UTF-8 files read with `.src` unless disabled in the options.__
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Globs
|
||
|
|
||
|
Globs are executed in order, so negations should follow positive globs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
fs.src(['!b*', '*'])
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
would not exclude any files, but the following would exclude all files starting with "b":
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
fs.src(['*', '!b*'])
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Values passed to the options must be of the expected type, otherwise they will be ignored.
|
||
|
- All options can be passed a function instead of a value. The function will be called with the [vinyl] `File` object as its only argument and must return a value of the expected type for that option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.buffer`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whether or not you want to buffer the file contents into memory. Setting to `false` will make `file.contents` a paused Stream.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `true`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.read`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whether or not you want the file to be read at all. Useful for stuff like removing files. Setting to `false` will make `file.contents = null` and will disable writing the file to disk via `.dest()`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `true`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.since`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Only streams files that have been modified since the time specified.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Date` or `Number`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `undefined`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.removeBOM`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Causes the BOM to be removed on UTF-8 encoded files. Set to `false` if you need the BOM for some reason.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `true`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.sourcemaps`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enables sourcemap support on files passed through the stream. Will load inline sourcemaps and resolve sourcemap links from files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.resolveSymlinks`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whether or not to recursively resolve symlinks to their targets. Set to `false` to preserve them as symlinks and make `file.symlink` equal the original symlink's target path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `true`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.dot`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whether or not you want globs to match on dot files (e.g. `.gitignore`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: This option is not resolved from a function because it is passed verbatim to node-glob.__
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### other
|
||
|
|
||
|
Any glob-related options are documented in [glob-stream] and [node-glob] and are forwarded verbatim.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### `dest(folder[, options])`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Takes a folder path string or a function as the first argument and an options object as the second. If given a function, it will be called with each [vinyl] `File` object and must return a folder path.
|
||
|
Returns a stream that accepts [vinyl] `File` objects, writes them to disk at the folder/cwd specified, and passes them downstream so you can keep piping these around.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once the file is written to disk, an attempt is made to determine if the `stat.mode`, `stat.mtime` and `stat.atime` of the [vinyl] `File` object differ from the file on the filesystem.
|
||
|
If they differ and the running process owns the file, the corresponding filesystem metadata is updated.
|
||
|
If they don't differ or the process doesn't own the file, the attempt is skipped silently.
|
||
|
__This functionality is disabled on Windows operating systems or any other OS that doesn't support `process.getuid` or `process.geteuid` in node. This is due to Windows having very unexpected results through usage of `fs.fchmod` and `fs.futimes`.__
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: The `fs.futimes()` method internally converts `stat.mtime` and `stat.atime` timestamps to seconds; this division by `1000` may cause some loss of precision in 32-bit Node.js.__
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the file has a `symlink` attribute specifying a target path, then a symlink will be created.
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: The file will be modified after being written to this stream.__
|
||
|
- `cwd`, `base`, and `path` will be overwritten to match the folder.
|
||
|
- `stat` will be updated to match the file on the filesystem.
|
||
|
- `contents` will have it's position reset to the beginning if it is a stream.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Values passed to the options must be of the expected type, otherwise they will be ignored.
|
||
|
- All options can be passed a function instead of a value. The function will be called with the [vinyl] `File` object as its only argument and must return a value of the expected type for that option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.cwd`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The working directory the folder is relative to.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `String`

|
Default: `process.cwd()`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.mode`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The mode the files should be created with. This option is only resolved if the [vinyl] `File` is not symbolic.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Number`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: The `mode` of the input file (`file.stat.mode`) if any, or the process mode if the input file has no `mode` property.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.dirMode`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The mode directories should be created with.
|
||

|
||
|
Type: `Number`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: The process `mode`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.overwrite`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whether or not existing files with the same path should be overwritten.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `true` (always overwrite existing files)
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.append`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whether or not new data should be appended after existing file contents (if any).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `false` (always replace existing contents, if any)
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.sourcemaps`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enables sourcemap support on files passed through the stream. Will write inline soucemaps if specified as `true`.
|
||
|
Specifying a `String` path will write external sourcemaps at the given path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
// Write as inline comments
|
||
|
vfs.dest('./', { sourcemaps: true });
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Write as files in the same folder
|
||
|
vfs.dest('./', { sourcemaps: '.' });
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean` or `String`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `undefined` (do not write sourcemaps)
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.relativeSymlinks`
|
||
|
|
||
|
When creating a symlink, whether or not the created symlink should be relative. If `false`, the symlink will be absolute.
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: This option will be ignored if a `junction` is being created, as they must be absolute.__
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.useJunctions`
|
||
|
|
||
|
When creating a symlink, whether or not a directory symlink should be created as a `junction`.
|
||
|
This option is only relevant on Windows and ignored elsewhere. Please refer to the [Symbolic Links on Windows][symbolic-caveats] section below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `true`
|
||
|
|
||
|
### `symlink(folder[, options])`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Takes a folder path string or a function as the first argument and an options object as the second. If given a function, it will be called with each [vinyl] `File` object and must return a folder path.
|
||
|
Returns a stream that accepts [vinyl] `File` objects, creates a symbolic link (i.e. symlink) at the folder/cwd specified, and passes them downstream so you can keep piping these around.
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: The file will be modified after being written to this stream.__
|
||
|
- `cwd`, `base`, and `path` will be overwritten to match the folder.
|
||
|
- `stat` will be updated to match the symlink on the filesystem.
|
||
|
- `contents` will be set to `null`.
|
||
|
- `symlink` will be added or replaced to be the original path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: On Windows, directory links are created using Junctions by default. Use the `useJunctions` option to disable this behavior.__
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Values passed to the options must be of the expected type, otherwise they will be ignored.
|
||
|
- All options can be passed a function instead of a value. The function will be called with the [vinyl] `File` object as its only argument and must return a value of the expected type for that option.

||
|
The mode directories should be created with.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Number`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: The process mode.

|
|
||
|
##### `options.relativeSymlinks`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whether or not the created symlinks should be relative. If `false`, the symlink will be absolute.
|
||
|
|
||
|
__Note: This option will be ignored if a `junction` is being created, as they must be absolute.__
|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### `options.useJunctions`
|
||
|
|
||
|
When creating a symlink, whether or not a directory symlink should be created as a `junction`.

|
||
|
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `true`
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Symbolic Links on Windows
|
||
|
|
||
|
When creating symbolic links on Windows, we pass a `type` argument to Node's
|
||
|
`fs` module which specifies the kind of target we link to (one of `'file'`,
|
||
|
`'dir'` or `'junction'`). Specifically, this will be `'file'` when the target
|
||
|
is a regular file, `'junction'` if the target is a directory, or `'dir'` if
|
||
|
the target is a directory and the user overrides the `useJunctions` option
|
||
|
default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, if the user tries to make a "dangling" link (pointing to a non-existent
|
||
|
target) we won't be able to determine automatically which type we should use.
|
||
|
In these cases, `vinyl-fs` will behave slightly differently depending on
|
||
|
whether the dangling link is being created via `symlink()` or via `dest()`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For dangling links created via `symlink()`, the incoming vinyl represents the
|
||
|
target and so we will look to its stats to guess the desired type. In
|
||
|
particular, if `isDirectory()` returns false then we'll create a `'file'` type
|
||
|
link, otherwise we will create a `'junction'` or a `'dir'` type link depending
|
||
|
on the value of the `useJunctions` option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For dangling links created via `dest()`, the incoming vinyl represents the link -
|
||
|
typically read off disk via `src()` with the `resolveSymlinks` option set to
|
||
|
false. In this case, we won't be able to make any reasonable guess as to the
|
||
|
type of link and we default to using `'file'`, which may cause unexpected behavior
|
||
|
if you are creating a "dangling" link to a directory. It is advised to avoid this
|
||
|
scenario.
