xyFilesystem

Extracted component of xyToolz — source is maintained in the main xyToolz repository; this package exposes only this module standalone.

Async file and directory helpers for .NET, including a mockable file-access layer for testing.

Install

dotnet add package xyFilesystem

Contents

  • xyFiles — async file operations:

    • EnsurePathExistsAsync, Inventory / InventoryNames, RenameFileAsync
    • ReadLinesAsync, ReadBytes, GetStreamFromFileAsync
    • SaveToFile, SaveBytesToFileAsync, SaveStringToFileAsync
    • LoadFileAsync (path or subfolder+filename overloads), LoadBytesFromFile
    • DeleteFile
    • OverrideForTests / ResetOverride — swap in an IxyFiles test double.

  • xyDirectoryHelper — directory operations:

    • GetSolutionFolder, GetApplicationFolder, GetInnerApplicationFolderDebug
    • GetFiles, GetSubfolders, GetFolderSize, IsFolderEmpty
    • CopyFolder, MoveFolder, RenameFolder, ClearFolder, DeleteFolder
    • CompressFolder, ExtractFolder
    • MonitorFolder — wraps FileSystemWatcher.

  • xyPath — path helpers:

    • BasePath (Android-aware via #if ANDROID, falls back to AppContext.BaseDirectory)
    • Combine(params string[]), EnsureDirectory(params string[]), EnsureParentDirectoryExists(string)

  • IxyFiles — interface for mocking xyFiles in unit tests.

Example

await xyFiles.SaveToFile("Hello!", "output.txt");
var lines = await xyFiles.ReadLinesAsync("settings.txt");

xyDirectoryHelper.CompressFolder(sourceFolder: "data", zipFilePath: "data.zip");
string safePath = xyPath.Combine("AppData", "config.json");
