BrowserFS backends for DOM APIs. DOM APIs are only available natively in browsers.

Please read the BrowserFS documentation!

• HTTPRequest: Downloads files on-demand from a webserver using fetch.
• Storage: Stores files in a Storage object, like localStorage and seesionStorage.
• IndexedDB: Stores files into an IndexedDB object database.
• WorkerFS: Lets you mount the BrowserFS file system configured in the main thread in a WebWorker, or the other way around!

For more information, see the API documentation.

npm install @browserfs/fs-dom

• Make sure you have Node and NPM installed. You must have Node v18 or newer.
• Install dependencies with npm install
• Build using npm run build
• You can find the built code in dist.

🛈 The examples are written in ESM. If you are using CJS, you can require the package. If running in a borwser you can add a script tag to your HTML pointing to the browser.min.js and use BrowserFS DOM via the global BrowserFS_DOM object.

You can use DOM backends, though you must register them if you plan on using configure:

import { configure, fs } from '@browserfs/core';
import { Storage } '@browserfs/fs-dom';

// you can also add a callback as the last parameter instead of using promises
await configure({ fs: 'Storage' });

if (!fs.existsSync('/test.txt')) {
	fs.writeFileSync('/test.txt', 'This will persist across reloads!');
}

const contents = fs.readFileSync('/test.txt', 'utf-8');
console.log(contents);

Run unit tests with npm test.
