New API: Server and FileSystem

[Casey Kolb]

@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.

[Christoph Hart]

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?

Bump bump :)

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".

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.

Can we do this with MIDI FILES?

[Christoph Hart]

Are you talking about embedded Midi files or files on the user‘s disk?

Embedded files should be retrievable with MidiPlayer.getMidiFileList() - it‘s not implemented yet but it will follow the same logic as Sampler.getSampleMapList().
