New API: Server and FileSystem

[d.healey]

Is there a way to pull an image from a server to paint onto a panel?

Also could you add a function to check for network connectivity? because it's desirable to display different content if the user is working offline.

FileSystem.browse(var startFolder, bool forSaving, String wildcard, var callback)

Documentation not clear. What is the wildcard? Is there a way to get the start folder to be the config files location (similar to the {PROJECT_FOLDER} wildcard)? When I set forSaving to true it brings up an Open file dialog, when set to false it brings up a Save dialog. Shouldn't this be the other way around? What parameters are passed to the callback, is it just the file?

FileSystem.getFolder(var locationType) What is locationType?

@d-healey I see your newest develop branch commit includes the new Server API Is this safe to use for now?

[d.healey]

@Lunacy-Audio Use Christoph's Scriptnode, it's newer than my fork and includes all my changes.

Feel free to test it and give feedback, but don‘t rely on it yet for a project as I might have to do some breaking changes for the API

Was there ever a proper examples page for this? I can´t find one. Just this page and the links at the top. But the docs pages do not have their own category pages with examples:

Oops, you're right, I think the great @Dominik-Mayer has accidently uploaded an older doc state. I'll fix it tomorrow. If you can't wait, you can browse the original markdowns here:

This seems pretty cool, I dont really understand it, but will this allow you to export midi on a compiled plugin?

I couldn't come up with anything :man_shrugging:

[Casey Kolb]

@Christoph-Hart Still waiting on updated doc state. Can we fix this please?

Im trying to get list of files by using

var files = FileSystem.findFiles("AudioFiles", "*.wav", true);

and in result im gettin empty array. Any tips? And yes, i have files in this folder. :P

[arminh]

Being honest i can't scan any folder and can't find any file ...

[Christoph Hart]

You need to create a reference to the folder first:

const var audioFiles = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AudioFiles);

FileSystem.findFiles(audioFiles, "*.wav", true);

Also use the constant FileSystem.AudioFiles instead of "AudioFiles".

FileSystem.findFiles(audioFiles, "*.wav", true);

thanks, but i gettin error

Interface:! Line 3, column 66: Function / constant not found: FileSystem.AudioFiles {SW50ZXJmYWNlfHwxMDZ8M3w2Ng==}

[Christoph Hart]

Ooops, my bad, I think this was in the second batch of constants which I forgot to add to the scripting object. Will fix it later. If you can't wait, goto

hi_scripting/scripting/api/ScriptingApi.cpp

and add

addConstant("AudioFiles", (int)AudioFiles);

at line 4381 (the constructor of the FileSystem object).

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart unfortunly it still not work. I tried use other place but still the same error. Im using latest scriptnode.

constant not found: FileSystem.Desktop

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart any solution?

[Christoph Hart]

I'll take a look tomorrow.
