Exokit JSCore bindings

require

The require function is available in the global context object, one of the few for-granted functions. Require follows basic nodejs require rules with some variations.

• It will make all require operations relative to the application's main bundle folder
• It has a hardcoded search path: exokit and www folders+
• It can solve cyclic modules references

File

File is a swift native FileWrapper object.

Constructor

new File( 'relative path', storage )

Storage has 2 hardcoded values:

• 0 -> file relative to app's main bundle folder
• 1 -> file relative to app's documents folder. In this storage, you can freely create/delete files and folders.
• 2 -> file is remote. No properties except path have value. Only loadAsText method works.

attributes

• size: number. File size in bytes
• exists: boolean
• path: string. Full storage-resolved path.
• isDirectory: boolean. If exists and it is a directory.

methods

• loadAsText(): string. Read file contents as a string. Returns undefined if error.
• createWithText(string): boolean. Create the file at path with the string contents. Returns true is success.
• listFiles(): File[]. Get all file objects contained in a given directory. Empty array if error (e.g. no directory), or no files in the directory.
• delete(): boolean. Delete the file or directory. True if success.
• makeDirectory(): boolean. Create the directory at path. True if success.
