About

An implementation of LinkedPipes Applications Storage. The package adds functionality to interact with SOLID PODs and is intented to be used with LinkedPipes Applications Platform. However, some generic abstractions can be expanded for more generic use-cases.

Prerequisited

• Yarn 1.19.1
• Node.js >v10.15.x

Aside from local prerequisited, the software is intented to be used along with a web server implementing SOLID project requirements. The framework was actively tested with an instance of node-solid-server.

Installation

Using yarn:

yarn add linkedpipes-storage

Using npm:

npm install linkedpipes-storage

Quick start

The generic examples below demonstrate the usage of StorageFileManager abstraction. For more detailed examples and TypeScript documentation refer here.

1. Creating ResourceConfig

The ResourceConfig is a class describing your resource inside SOLID POD. In this example let's define a single resource configuration class instance for a folder to be created in a POD:

import { ResourceConfig, SolidResourceType } from './storage-manager';

const folderConfigurationResource: ResourceConfig = new ResourceConfig(
  {
    path: `https://{your_username}.inrupt.net`,
    title: `${your_title}.txt`,
    type: SolidResourceType.Folder
  },
  {your_web_id}
);

2. Creating, editing, deleting resource

After defining the ResourceConfig instance, let's create one:

import { StorageFileManager } from './storage-manager';

const result = await StorageFileManager.createResource(fileConfigurationResource);

Renaming folder

const folderConfigurationResourceRenamed: ResourceConfig = new ResourceConfig(
  {
    path: fileConfigurationResource.resource.path,
    title: fileConfigurationResource.resource.title + '_renamed',
    type: fileConfigurationResource.resource.type
  },
  fileConfigurationResource.webID
); // Defines a sample renamed resource

const result = await StorageFileManager.renameResource(folderConfigurationResource, folderConfigurationResourceRenamed);

Deleting folder

const result = await StorageFileManager.deleteResource(folderConfigurationResourceRenamed);

Testing

Testing is performed using ava.js and istanbul.js frameworks.

Executing tests is performed as follows:

yarn test
