FileRef
File in Spignite is just a collection of meta-data.
A file reference is an object that contains file information. It is passed to every Spignite operation.
It contains the following properties:
_change = false;
_active: boolean;
_synthetic: boolean;
readonly _root: string;
readonly _id: string;
readonly _src?: string;
readonly _dir: string;
readonly _name: string;
readonly _ext: string;
_out: string;
readonly _basename: string;
readonly _path: string;
readonly _uuid;
readonly _spig: Spig;
readonly _cfg: SpigConfig;
Attributes are associated data of a
FileRef. Attributes are (or should be:) only accessible using the methods:attr(name); // reads attribute
setAttr(name, val); // sets attribute
setAttrsFrom(object); // copies attributes from the object (Objects.assign)
addAttrsFrom(object); // adds non-existing attributes from given object
hasAttr(name); // detects if attribute exist
Current content can be reached as
Buffer or a simple string, using methods: buffer() or string().While
FileRef is available for all Spignite operations and file manipulation, it is NOT available inside any content! In other words, FileRef is not available for rendering/templating.FileRef is available for Spignite ops; the context for the rendering/templating.For that purpose, each
FileRef has a context() method that returns actual context that IS available on the page! It consists of:- all the attributes
site- global metadatalink- full link to the fileurl- permalinksrc- dir + name of the source filecontent- string content of a file
