filesource.js
Install: npm install fileosurce
You can e.g. use it, if you want to offer a function, taking all possible types of data sources.
Here are some simple examples how to use it:
var filesource = require('filesource');
// Converts web-source to raw data
filesource.getRawData("http://blabla.com/blabla.pdf", function(resp){
if(!resp.success)
{
console.log("Sth. went wrong: " + resp.error);
return;
}
console.log(resp.data); // raw data
});
// Converts filepath to raw data
filesource.getRawData("/files/example.pdf", function(resp){
if(!resp.success)
{
console.log("Sth. went wrong: " + resp.error);
return;
}
console.log(resp.data); // raw data
});
// Converts web-source to readable filepath
filesource.getDataPath("http://blabla.com/blabla.pdf", function(resp){
if(!resp.success)
{
console.log("Sth. went wrong: " + resp.error);
return;
}
console.log(resp.data); // local filepath
resp.clean();
});
// Converts raw data to readable filepath
var rawData = fs.readFileSync("/files/example.pdf");
filesource.getDataPath(rawData, function(resp){
if(!resp.success)
{
console.log("Sth. went wrong: " + resp.error);
return;
}
console.log(resp.data); // local filepath
resp.clean();
});
