Fs GDrive

---

fs-gdrive, is a Node.js package that provides a file system-like interface for interacting with Google Drive. It simplifies operations such as reading, writing, and managing files and directories in Google Drive, making it easier to integrate Google Drive functionality into your Node.js applications.

Features

• Connect to Google Drive using service account authentication
• Read directory contents
• Create directories
• Read and write files
• Delete files and directories
• Rename or move files and directories
• Get file/directory stats
• Search for files and directories based on various criteria
• Copy files

Installation

npm install fs-gdrive

Usage

First, import the GDrive class:

import { GDrive } from 'fs-gdrive'; // esm
// OR
const { GDrive } = require('fs-gdrive'); // cjs

Then, create an instance of GDriveFS with your Google Drive authentication details:

const fsGDrive = new GDrive({
  folderId: 'your-root-folder-id',
  auth: {
    email: 'your-service-account-email@example.com',
    privateKey: 'your-private-key',
  },
});

Connect to Google Drive:

await fsGDrive.connect();

Now you can use various methods to interact with Google Drive:

// Read directory contents
const files = await fsGDrive.readdir('/path/to/directory');

// Create a directory
await fsGDrive.mkdir('/path/to/new/directory');

// Write a file
await fsGDrive.writeFile('/path/to/file.txt', 'File content');

// Read a file
const content = await fsGDrive.readFile('/path/to/file.txt');

// Delete a file or directory
await fsGDrive.unlink('/path/to/file-or-directory');

// Rename or move a file or directory
await fsGDrive.rename('/old/path', '/new/path');

// Get file or directory stats
const stats = await fsGDrive.stat('/path/to/file-or-directory');

// Search for files
const searchResults = await fsGDrive.search({
  name: 'example',
  mimeType: 'text/plain',
  minSize: 1000,
  maxSize: 10000,
  modifiedAfter: new Date('2023-01-01'),
  modifiedBefore: new Date('2023-12-31'),
});

// Copy a file
await fsGDrive.copy('/path/to/source/file.txt', '/path/to/destination/file.txt');
