Component: Virtual Filesystem

[JoshuaEstes]

Need component that can be used to access different filesystem types. Native, S3, InMemory, etc.

Could streams be used for this? Could use vfs:// and would provide access to whatever was registered.

// Create a new filesystem that uses the existing filesystem. The root directory is `/tmp`
$filesystem = new Filesystem(new NativeAdapter('/tmp'));
$filesystem->touch('test.txt'); // Would be the same as `touch /tmp/text.txt`

Filesystem API

• write
• read
• delete / rm
• touch
• mkdir
• move / mv
• copy / cp
• stat
• chmod
• chown

The adapter API may have a lot more methods as part of its interface. The filesystem interface is more end user friendly with fewer methods.

Think I can use mount/unmount methods to provide the stream wrapper.

Stream::mount('vfs', $adapter);

Doing something like that you can do all kinds of fun things and register s3:// for the S3 adapter

Requirements

• Must provide an Interface that end users can use to interact with different filesystems
• Must provide a Native or Local adapter to manage files locally
• Must provide a Memory adapter that would be used for testing
• Must be able to move/copy a file from one filesystem to another (Might be able to be done via some type of manager that can mount/unmount different filesystems)
