Flysystem
Flysystem is a PHP storage library that provides a filesystem abstraction layer. It enables the management of files across local disks, cloud buckets, and remote servers using a unified interface, decoupling application logic from provider-specific APIs.
The project facilitates storage provider migration by allowing developers to swap underlying adapters without changing application code. It includes a multi-backend manager capable of mounting volumes and coordinating file movements between diverse storage systems.
The library covers a broad range of file operations, including directory listing, file existence verification, and checksum calculation for data integrity. It also provides visibility control for managing read and write permissions and a strategy-based system for generating secure, temporary public URLs for remote files.
Features
- Filesystem Abstraction Layers - Provides a unified PHP API for managing files across local disks, cloud buckets, and remote servers.
- Storage Abstractions - Provides a unified interface for managing file operations across diverse storage backends like local disks and cloud buckets.
- Cloud Storage Connectors - Provides a single interface to manage files across local disks and cloud providers, avoiding provider-specific code.
- Cloud Storage Wrappers - Provides a tool for managing files in cloud and local storage without coupling application code to specific provider APIs.
- Filesystem Abstractions - Provides a consistent interface for reading, writing, and managing files across local disks, cloud buckets, and remote servers.
- File System Storage Adapters - Provides interfaces that abstract file storage operations across both local disks and cloud-based providers.
- Storage Backend Adapters - Allows switching between different filesystem backends without changing application logic by swapping storage adapters.
- Distributed File Access Layers - Enables consistent reading and writing of files across remote servers and cloud buckets.
- Unified Filesystem Interfaces - Exposes a single set of methods for file operations to ensure the application remains independent of the underlying storage.
- Directory Listing Utilities - Enables retrieving items within a directory with support for filtering, mapping, and sorting paths.
- Mount Coordination - Coordinates multiple storage adapters as virtual volumes to facilitate moving files between different backends.
- Existence Verifiers - Provides a feature to verify if a specific file or directory exists before performing read or modify operations.
- Multi-Backend File Managers - Coordinates file operations and mounts volumes across multiple different storage platforms.
- Multi-Backend Storage Management - Moves and coordinates data between different storage systems like S3, FTP, and local disks through a unified API.
- Multi-Filesystem Coordination - Coordinates operations across different storage backends to mount volumes and move files between diverse systems.
- Presigned URL Delegation - Provides a strategy-based system for generating time-limited signed URLs to grant temporary access to private storage objects.
- Presigned URL Generation - Creates time-limited, cryptographically signed public web links for secure access to stored files.
- File System Access Controls - Implements mechanisms to manage read and write permissions for files and directories across different storage providers.
- Email and Files - Abstraction layer for local and remote filesystems.
Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
