Method `new()`

Create new Files resource object.

Usage

Files$new(...)

Arguments

...: Other response arguments.

Method `query()`

This call returns a list of files and subdirectories in a specified project or directory within a project, with specified properties that you can access. The project or directory whose contents you want to list is specified as a query parameter in the call. Further properties to filter by can also be specified as query parameters.

Note that this call lists both files and subdirectories in the specified project or directory within a project, but not the contents of the subdirectories.
To list the contents of a subdirectory, make a new call and specify the subdirectory ID as the parent parameter.
For more details, see our API documentation.

Usage

Files$query(
  project = NULL,
  parent = NULL,
  name = NULL,
  metadata = NULL,
  origin = NULL,
  tag = NULL,
  limit = getOption("sevenbridges2")$limit,
  offset = getOption("sevenbridges2")$offset,
  ...
)

Arguments

project: Project identifier (ID) as string or a Project object. Project should not be used together with parent. If parent is used, the call will list the content of the specified folder, within the project to which the folder belongs. If project is used, the call will list the content at the root of the project's files.
parent: The parent folder identifier as string or a File object which must be of type FOLDER. Should not be used together with project. If parent is used, the call will list the content of the specified folder, within the project to which the folder belongs. If project is used, the call will list the content at the root of the project's files.
name: Name of the file. List files with this name. Note that the name must be an exact complete string for the results to match. Multiple names can be represented as a vector.
metadata: List file with this metadata field values. List only files that have the specified value in metadata field. Different metadata fields are represented as a named list. You can also define multiple instances of the same metadata field.
origin: Task object. List only files produced by task.
tag: Filters the files based on the specified tag(s). Each tag must be an exact, complete match, for the results to match. Tags may include spaces. Multiple tags should be provided as a vector of strings. The method will return files that have any of the specified tags.
limit: The maximum number of collection items to return for a single request. Minimum value is 1. The maximum value is 100 and the default value is 50. This is a pagination-specific attribute.
offset: The zero-based starting index in the entire collection of the first item to return. The default value is 0. This is a pagination-specific attribute.
...: Other arguments that can be passed to core api() function as 'fields', etc.

Returns

Collection of File objects.

Examples

\dontrun{
 files_object <- Files$new(auth = auth)

 # Query files in a project
 files_object$query(project = project)
}

Method `get()`

This call returns a single File object with its details. The call returns the file's name, its tags, and all of its metadata. Files are specified by their IDs, which you can obtain by making the API call to list all files in a project.

Usage

Files$get(id, ...)

Arguments

id: The file ID.
...: Other arguments that can be passed to core api() function as 'fields', etc.

Returns

File object.

Examples

\dontrun{
 files_object <- Files$new(auth = auth)

 # Get file using id
 files_object$get(id = id)
}

Method `delete()`

This call removes a file from the Seven Bridges Platform. Files are specified by their IDs, which you can obtain by using Files$query() to list files or by getting a single file using Files$get().

Usage

Files$delete(file, ...)

Arguments

file: File object or file ID.
...: Other arguments that can be passed to core api() function as 'fields', etc.

Examples

\dontrun{
 files_object <- Files$new(auth = auth)

 # Delete a file
 files_object$delete(file = file)
}

Method `copy()`

Copy file/files to the specified project. This call allows you to copy files between projects. Unlike the call to copy a file between projects, this call lets you batch the copy operation and copy a list of files at a time.
More information can be found here here.

Usage

Files$copy(files, destination_project)

Arguments

files: The list of files' IDs or list of File object to copy.
destination_project: Project object or project ID. where you want to copy files into.

 # Copy files to a project
 files_object$copy(
               file = file,
               destination_project = project
              )
}

Method `create_folder()`

A method for creating a new folder. It allows you to create a new folder on the Platform within the root folder of a specified project or the provided parent folder. Remember that you should provide either the destination project (as the project parameter) or the destination folder (as the parent parameter), not both.
More information you may find here.

Usage

Files$create_folder(name, parent = NULL, project = NULL)

Arguments

name: The name of the folder you are about to create.

Method `async_bulk_copy()`

This call lets you perform a bulk copy of files and folders. Any underlying folder structure will be preserved. You can copy:

to a folder within the same project,
to another project,
to a folder in another project.

Usage

Files$async_bulk_copy(items)

Arguments

items

Nested list of elements containing information about each file/folder to be copied. For each element, you must provide:

file - The ID of the file or folder you are copying. Copying the project root folder is not allowed. Use the API call for listing all files to obtain the ID.
parent - The ID of the folder you are copying files to. It should not be used together with project. If project is used, the items will be imported to the root of the project files. If parent is used, the import will take place into the specified folder, within the project to which the folder belongs.
project - The project you are copying the file to. It should not be used together with parent. If parent is used, the import will take place into the specified folder, within the project to which the folder belongs. If project is used, the items will be imported to the root of the project files.
name - Enter the new name for the file if you want to rename it in the destination folder.

Example of the list:

items <- list(
          list(
            file = '<file-id-1>',
            parent = '<folder-id>'
          ),
          list(
            file = '<file-id-2>',
            project = '<project-id-1>',

          ),
          list(
            file = '<file-id-3>',
            parent = '<parent-id-2>',
            name = 'copied_file2.txt'
          )
        )

   items = list(file_obj1, file_obj2, "<folder-id-string>", "<file-id>")
 )
}

Method `async_bulk_move()`

This call lets you perform a bulk move operation of files and folders. You can move:

to a root project folder,
to a subfolder within the same project or a different project.

Usage

Files$async_bulk_move(items)

Arguments

items

Nested list of elements containing information about each file/folder to be moved. For each element, you must provide:

file - The ID of the file or folder you are moving. Use the API call for listing all files or folders to obtain the ID.
parent - The ID of the folder you are moving the files to, which should not be used along with project. If project is used, the items will be imported to the root of the project files. If parent is used, the import will take place into the specified folder, within the project to which the folder belongs.
project - The project you are moving the files to. It should not be used together with parent. If parent is used, the import will take place into the specified folder, within the project to which the folder belongs. If project is used, the items will be imported to the root of the project files.
name - Enter the new name for the file or folder if you want to rename at the destination.

Example of the list:

items <- list(
          list(
            file = '<file-id-1>',
            parent = '<folder-id>'
          ),
          list(
            file = '<file-id-2>',
            project = '<project-id-1>',
            name = 'moved_file.txt'
          ),
          list(
            file = '<file-id-3>',
            parent = '<parent-id-2>',
            name = 'moved_file2.txt'
          )
        )

Read more on how to perform async move action on multiple files.

Details

Rules for moving files and folders:

The file ID is preserved after the move.
The folder ID is changed after the move.
The destination must be an existing folder.
If the target folder contains a folder with the same name, the contents of both folders will be merged.
If a file with the same name already exists, the source file will be automatically renamed (by adding a numeric prefix).
You need to have WRITE permissions for both source and destination folders.

Returns

AsyncJob object.

Examples

\dontrun{
 # Move multiple files
 a$files$async_bulk_move(
   items = list(
