FileSystem

Properties

Property	Type	Description
`url`	`null` \| `URL`	A `URL` instance that points to the root of the filesystem mount. You should use this to create file path references within the filesystem mount. Example `const dataUrl = new URL('data.json', fileSystem.url);`

Methods

freeSpace()

freeSpace(): bigint

The amount of free space available on the filesystem, in bytes.

Parameter	Type	Description
`name`	`string`	The name of the mount for filesystem paths. By default, a random name is generated. Should not exceed 31 characters, and should not have a trailing colon.

totalSpace()

totalSpace(): bigint

The total amount of space available on the filesystem, in bytes.

openBis()

static openBis(id): FileSystem

Opens a file system partition specified by its BisPartitionId.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`id`	`number`	The `BisPartitionId` of the partition to open.

Example

import { BisPartitionId } from '@nx.js/constants';
 
// Open and mount the "User" partition
const fs = Switch.FileSystem.openBis(BisPartitionId.User);
const url = fs.mount();
 
// Read the file entries at the root of the partition
console.log(Switch.readDirSync(url));

openSdmc()

static openSdmc(): FileSystem

Opens a file system partition for the SD card.

Note that the SD card is automatically mounted under the sdmc: protocol, so your application will not need to call this function under most circumstances. However, it is useful for querying metatdata about the SD card, such as the amount of free space available.

Returns

FileSystem

Example

const fs = Switch.FileSystem.openSdmc();
console.log(fs.freeSpace());
console.log(fs.totalSpace());
