Writer()

Initialization

This method creates an object for the file library.

	var fileWriter = new Writer();

fileWriter.writeToFile

• host - the server on which platform is running
• data - string that is to be written to file
• file_name - name of file as string

Example:

	var fileWriter = new Writer();
	var text = "This is a test string";
	var fileName = "Test.doc";
	fileWriter.writeToFile("sfopera.com", text, fileName, function(err,url) {
		if (err) {
			resp.error("Write failed");
		} else {
			resp.success(url);
		}
	});

file_writer.removeFile

This method removes the file from server on which it is stored. Cannot be retrieved again.

• file_name - name of file to be removed as string

		if (err) {
			resp.error("Write failed");
		} else {
			resp.success(url);
		}
	});
