@happyvertical/files

Unified filesystem interface for the HAVE SDK. Provides a consistent API across local filesystem (Node.js fs/promises) and Google Drive, with rate-limited fetch utilities and legacy compatibility helpers.

Installation

pnpm add @happyvertical/files

Published to public npm. Depends on @happyvertical/utils.

Usage

Factory Function

import { getFilesystem } from '@happyvertical/files';

// Local filesystem (default)
const fs = await getFilesystem({ type: 'local', basePath: '/app/data' });

await fs.write('output/result.txt', 'Hello, world!');
const content = await fs.read('config.json');
const exists = await fs.exists('config.json');

// List files with filtering
const files = await fs.list('.', { filter: /\.json$/, detailed: true });
for (const file of files) {
  console.log(`${file.name}: ${file.size} bytes, ${file.mimeType}`);
}

Google Drive

import { getFilesystem } from '@happyvertical/files';

const fs = await getFilesystem({
  type: 'gdrive',
  clientId: 'xxx',
  clientSecret: 'yyy',
  refreshToken: 'zzz',
});

await fs.write('documents/readme.txt', 'Hello from Drive');
const content = await fs.read('documents/readme.txt');

Supports OAuth2, service account keys, and short-lived access tokens. Google Docs native formats are automatically exported (Docs → text, Sheets → CSV, etc.).

File Operations

await fs.copy('source.txt', 'backup/source-copy.txt');
await fs.move('temp.txt', 'archive/temp.txt');
await fs.createDirectory('secure-data', { mode: 0o700 });
await fs.delete('temporary-file.txt');

const stats = await fs.getStats('document.pdf');
console.log(`${stats.size} bytes, modified ${stats.mtime}`);

Fetch Utilities

Rate-limited HTTP fetch helpers for downloading remote content:

import { fetchText, fetchJSON, fetchBuffer, fetchToFile, addRateLimit } from '@happyvertical/files';

// Set per-domain rate limits
addRateLimit('api.github.com', 30, 60000);

const html = await fetchText('https://example.com');
const data = await fetchJSON('https://api.example.com/data');
const buf = await fetchBuffer('https://example.com/image.png');
await fetchToFile('https://example.com/file.zip', './downloads/file.zip');

Secure ZIP Manifest Inspection

Inspect untrusted ZIP metadata before deciding whether to accept an upload:

import {
  inspectZipManifest,
  ZipManifestError,
  ZipManifestLimitError,
} from '@happyvertical/files';

try {
  const manifest = inspectZipManifest(zipBytes, {
    maxEntries: 2_000,
    maxEntryUncompressedBytes: 50 * 1024 * 1024,
    maxTotalUncompressedBytes: 500 * 1024 * 1024,
  });

  const files = manifest.entries
    .filter((entry) => entry.type === 'file')
    .map(({ path, size }) => ({ path, size }));
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof ZipManifestLimitError) {
    console.error(error.limit, error.actual, error.maximum);
  } else if (error instanceof ZipManifestError) {
    console.error(error.code, error.message);
  }
}

inspectZipManifest() reads and cross-checks central-directory and local-header metadata only. It does not decompress or materialize file bodies. Paths are returned with / separators and ./empty segments removed; names containing ordinary spaces remain valid. The whole archive is rejected for parent traversal, absolute/drive-qualified paths, NTFS alternate data stream paths containing colons, NUL bytes, Unix symlinks and special files, Windows reparse points and reserved device names, path segments ending in dots or spaces, case-insensitive or Unicode-normalization path collisions, file/descendant path conflicts, overlapping local entry ranges, or unreferenced data before the central directory.

Default limits are 10,000 entries, 200 MiB per entry, 2 GiB aggregate declared uncompressed size, and 1,024 encoded path bytes. Entry count includes directory entries, and aggregate size includes every entry. All limits are configurable with non-negative safe integers. The entry limit also bounds cumulative central-directory work while disambiguating end records in hostile comments.

Policy is deliberately strict: ZIP64, encrypted, multi-disk, malformed, truncated, ambiguous-end-record, and non-UTF-8-name archives are rejected with typed errors. Stored entries must also declare identical compressed and uncompressed sizes, and each local header and compressed payload must occupy a distinct range. Those referenced ranges must collectively cover every byte before the central directory, so archive preambles, padding gaps, and local entries omitted from the central directory are rejected. Data descriptors are rejected for both stored and compressed entries because their payload boundary cannot be verified without decompression or extractor-specific scanning. Entry names use strict UTF-8 decoding whether or not the UTF-8 flag is set. Leading UTF-8 BOMs are rejected because filename decoders disagree on whether the BOM is part of the extracted path; common macOS ZIPs with valid UTF-8 names remain compatible. PKWARE alternate-encoding, Info-ZIP, and Xceed path extra fields are rejected so an extractor cannot select a different path or character encoding from the one inspected. PKWARE and ASi Unix extra fields are likewise rejected because they can supply link targets; libarchive's xl field is rejected because it can override the inspected file type. Unix file-type bits are honored only for Unix- or Darwin-origin central headers; file-type bits claimed by DOS, NTFS, or other creator systems are rejected. These alternate-metadata cases, along with contradictory Unix file and directory attributes, use UnsupportedZipFeatureError with the ambiguous-metadata feature. This API is a metadata preflight, not an extraction API; consumers that later extract an accepted archive must still use an extraction destination and library with equivalent path and symlink protections.

Error Handling

import { FileNotFoundError, PermissionError, DirectoryNotEmptyError } from '@happyvertical/files';

try {
  await fs.read('missing.txt');
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof FileNotFoundError) {
    console.error('Not found:', error.path);
  } else if (error instanceof PermissionError) {
    console.error('Permission denied:', error.path);
  }
}

Legacy Functions

Standalone functions from the original API, still exported for backward compatibility:

import { isFile, isDirectory, ensureDirectoryExists, download, listFiles } from '@happyvertical/files';

const fileStats = isFile('/path/to/file.txt'); // synchronous
const isDir = isDirectory('/path/to/dir');     // synchronous
await ensureDirectoryExists('/path/to/new/dir');
await download('https://example.com/file.pdf', './file.pdf');
const files = await listFiles('/path/to/dir', { match: /\.json$/ });
