NAME
Catmandu::FileStore - Namespace for packages that can make files persistent

SYNOPSIS
    # From the command line

    # Export a list of all file containers
    $ catmandu export File::Simple --root t/data to YAML

    # Export a list of all files in container '1234'
    $ catmandu export File::Simple --root t/data --bag 1234 to YAML

    # Add a file to the container '1234'
    $ catmandu stream /tmp/myfile.txt to File::Simple --root t/data --bag 1234 --id myfile.txt

    # Download the file 'myfile.txt' from the container '1234'
    $ catmandu stream File::Simple --root t/data --bag 1234 --id myfile.txt to /tmp/output.txt

    # Delete the file 'myfile.txt' from the container '1234'
    $ catmandu delete File::Simple --root t/data --bag 1234 --id myfile.txt

    # From Perl
    use Catmandu;

    my $store = Catmandu->store('File::Simple' , root => 't/data');

    # List all containers
    $store->index->each(sub {
        my $container = shift;

        print "%s\n" , $container->{_id};
    });

    # Add a new container
    $store->index->add({ _id => '1234' });

    # Get the container
    my $files = $store->index->files('1234');

    # Add a file to the container
    $files->upload(IO::File->new('<foobar.txt'), 'foobar.txt');

    my $file = $files->get('foobar.txt');

    # Stream the contents of a file
    $files->stream(IO::File->new('>foobar.txt'), $file);

    # Delete a file
    $files->delete('foobar.txt');

    # Delete a container
    $store->index->delete('1234');

DESCRIPTION
Each Catmandu::FileStore is a Catmandu::Store and inherits all its methods,

A Catmandu::FileStore is package to store and retrieve binary content in an filesystem, memory or a network. A "Catmandu::FileStore" contains one or more "Catmandu::FileBag" which is a kind of folder.

Each "Catmandu::FileBag" contains one or more files.

One special "Catmandu::FileBag" is the "index" and contains the listing of all "Catmandu::FileBag" in the "Catmandu::FileStore".

CONFIGURATION

index_bag
    The name of the index bag to use when no bag name is give. The index bag is a bag containing a listing of all "Catmandu::FileBag"-s in the Store.

        my $index = $store->index;

        $index->each(sub {
            my $bag = shift;

            printf "%s\n" , $bag->{_id};
        });

index_class
    The default class implementation to use for an index of "Catmandu::FileBag"-s. By default this is the "Catmandu::FileStore" implementation with '::Index' added.

METHODS

  bag($name)
Create or retieve a bag with name $name. Returns a Catmandu::FileBag.

  index
Returns the index Catmandu::FileBag for the Catmandu::FileStore.

  my $index = $store->index;

  # Add a new file container
  $index->add({ _id => '1234'});

  # Anf use it...
  my $container = $store->bag('1234');

  $container->upload(IO::File->new('data.txt') , 'data.txt');

  log
Return the current logger. Can be used when creating your own Stores.

E.g.

    package Catmandu::Store::Hash;

    ...

    sub generator {
        my ($self) = @_;

        $self->log->debug("generating record");
        ...
    }

See also: Catmandu for activating the logger in your main code.
