Local File System
About
The local file system is the file system of the operation system where Tabulify is installed.
This is the file system:
- of your computer
- or/of the Tabulify server
depending on where the Tabulify is running.
Built-in Connection
Tabulify comes with the below built-in connection to the local file system:
- cd - the current directory
- temp - the temporary directory
- desktop - the user desktop directory of the local file system
- home - the user home directory of the local file system
- sd - the script directory actually running
- project - the project directory
URL
To create a local file connection, you can use one of the following URL:
- the local file URL to define a absolute path
- a data uri to define a relative path
Local file URI
file://path
where:
- the path should be absolute. It should start with:
- / for linux
- /C://, /D://, .. for windows
Example:
- Windows
file:///C:/Users/username/
- Linux
file:///opt/
You can't defined a relative path. You cannot used as start character:
- . for the working directory
- and .. for the parent
You need to use the data uri syntax to define a relative path
Data Uri
To define a relative path, you can use a data uri with a built-in local data connection
Example: to target the build directory inside the project home connection directory
data-uri:build@project
