|
|
|
Flysystem is a filesystem abstraction which allows you to easily swap out a local filesystem for a remote one. Technical debt is reduced as is the chance of vendor lock-in.
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
* Have a generic API for handling common tasks across multiple file storage engines.
|
|
* Have consistent output which you can rely on.
|
|
* Integrate well with other packages/frameworks.
|
|
* Be cacheable.
|
|
* Emulate directories in systems that support none, like AwsS3.
|
|
* Support third party plugins.
|
|
* Make it easy to test your filesystem interactions.
|
|
* Support streams for big file handling
|
