Afero is an filesystem framework providing a simple, uniform and universal API
|
|
interacting with any filesystem, as an abstraction layer providing interfaces,
|
|
types and methods. Afero has an exceptionally clean interface and simple design
|
|
without needless constructors or initialization methods.
|
|
|
|
Afero is also a library providing a base set of interoperable backend
|
|
filesystems that make it easy to work with afero while retaining all the power
|
|
and benefit of the os and ioutil packages.
|
|
|
|
Afero provides significant improvements over using the os package alone, most
|
|
notably the ability to create mock and testing filesystems without relying on
|
|
the disk.
|
|
|
|
It is suitable for use in a any situation where you would consider using the OS
|
|
package as it provides an additional abstraction that makes it easy to use a
|
|
memory backed file system during testing. It also adds support for the http
|
|
filesystem for full interoperability.
