File

A generic file system abstraction for Dart.

This package is currently experimental and subject to change

Like dart:io, package:file supplies a rich Dart idiomatic API for accessing a file system.

Unlike dart:io, package:file:

• Has an entirely async public interface (no fooSync methods).
• Has explicit factory classes for different implementations.
• Can be used to implement custom file systems.

Usage

Implement your own custom file system:

import 'package:file/file.dart';

class FooBarFileSystem implements FileSystem { ... }

Use the in-memory file system:

import 'package:file/file.dart';

var fs = new InMemoryFileSystem();

Use the local file system (requires dart:io access):

import 'package:file/io.dart';

var fs = const LocalFileSystem();
