Often an app wants to store data. However not all data that is stored belongs with the users files.
|
|
Often you just want a very simple storage to have some temp files. In order to facilitate this there
|
|
is the AppData folder that provides each app with a private simple filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Usage is almost trivial when your app is using the AppFramework.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
namespace OCA\MyApp\Controller\MyController;
|
|
|
|
use OCP\AppFramework\Controller;
|
|
use OCP\Files\IAppData;
|
|
use OCP\IRequest;
|
|
|
|
class MyController extends Controller {
|
|
/** @var IAppData */
|
|
private $appData;
|
|
|
|
public function __construct($appName,
|
|
IRequest $request,
|
|
IAppData $appData) {
|
|
parent::__construct($appName, $request);
|
|
$this->appData = $appData;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This gives your controller access to the IAppData simple filesystem of your app.

|
The simple filesystem
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The `IAppData` uses the simple filesystem. This is a very simplified filesystem that will allow for easy
|
|
mapping to for example memcaches. The filesystem has three elements: `root`, `folder`, `file`.
|
|
|
|
The `root` can only contain folders. And each folder can only contain files. This is limited to keep
|
|
things simple and to allow easy mapping to other backends. For example a sysadmin might chose to map the
|
|
avatars to fast storage since they are used often.
