FileSystem class abstract

A generic representation of a file system.

Note that this class uses dart:io only inasmuch as it deals in the types exposed by the dart:io library. Subclasses should document their level of dependence on the library (and the associated implications of using that implementation in the browser).

Implementers

Constructors

FileSystem.new()
Creates a new FileSystem.
const

Properties

currentDirectory ↔ Directory
Creates a directory object pointing to the current working directory.
getter/setter pair
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
isWatchSupported → bool
Tests if FileSystemEntity.watch is supported on the current system.
no setter
path → Context
An object for manipulating paths in this file system.
no setter
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
systemTempDirectory → Directory
Gets the system temp directory.
no setter

Methods

directory(dynamic path) → Directory
Returns a reference to a Directory at path.
file(dynamic path) → File
Returns a reference to a File at path.
getPath(dynamic path) → String
Gets the string path represented by the specified generic path.
identical(String path1, String path2) → Future<bool>
Checks whether two paths refer to the same object in the file system. Returns a Future<bool> that completes with the result.
identicalSync(String path1, String path2) → bool
Synchronously checks whether two paths refer to the same object in the file system.
isDirectory(String path) → Future<bool>
Checks if type(path) returns io.FileSystemEntityType.DIRECTORY.
isDirectorySync(String path) → bool
Synchronously checks if type(path) returns io.FileSystemEntityType.DIRECTORY.
isFile(String path) → Future<bool>
Checks if type(path) returns io.FileSystemEntityType.FILE.
isFileSync(String path) → bool
Synchronously checks if type(path) returns io.FileSystemEntityType.FILE.
Checks if type(path) returns io.FileSystemEntityType.LINK.
isLinkSync(String path) → bool
Synchronously checks if type(path) returns io.FileSystemEntityType.LINK.
Returns a reference to a Link at path.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
stat(String path) → Future<FileStat>
Asynchronously calls the operating system's stat() function on path. Returns a Future which completes with a io.FileStat object containing the data returned by stat(). If the call fails, completes the future with a io.FileStat object with .type set to FileSystemEntityType.NOT_FOUND and the other fields invalid.
statSync(String path) → FileStat
Calls the operating system's stat() function on path. Returns a io.FileStat object containing the data returned by stat(). If the call fails, returns a io.FileStat object with .type set to FileSystemEntityType.NOT_FOUND and the other fields invalid.
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
type(String path, {bool followLinks = true}) → Future<FileSystemEntityType>
Finds the type of file system object that a path points to. Returns a Future that completes with the result.
typeSync(String path, {bool followLinks = true}) → FileSystemEntityType
Syncronously finds the type of file system object that a path points to. Returns a io.FileSystemEntityType.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
The equality operator.
