Web API

Method: POST

Add the files which is belongs path using multipart/form-data.

• Disable decompress (by default)
  The request path means path of directory, and each file's filename means relative path.

  request
    .post('/fileman/dir/path')
    .attach('0', makeFixture('img.png'))
    .attach('1', makeFixture('img.png'), { filepath: 'asasd/sds.png' })
    .expect(200)
    .end((err, res) => {
      expect(res.body).toEqual({
        code: 200,
        data: ['/dir/path/img.png', '/dir/path/asasd/sds.png']
      })
  
      expect(isFile('dir/path/img.png')).toBeTruthy()
      expect(isFile('dir/path/asasd/sds.png')).toBeTruthy()
      done()
    })
  

  Set path to be dir/?force=true to guarantee overwriting old file.

• Enable decompress (by append querystring ?decompress=true)
  The request path means path of directory too.

  request
    .post('/fileman/zip?decompress=true&force=true')
    .set('authorization', 'fake_token')
    .attach('1', makeFixture('a.zip'))
    .end((err, res) => {
      expect(res.body).toEqual({
        code: 200,
        data: ['...paths']
      })
  
      expect(isFile('zip/你好.js')).toBeTruthy()
      expect(isFile('zip/filemanRouter.js')).toBeTruthy()
      expect(isFile('zip/FileMan.js')).toBeTruthy()
      done()
    })
  

Method: DELETE

Remove the files which is belongs path.

eg. /dir/abc can clear the dirpath/dir/abc.
