> Hackable & prototypable [FUSE3](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse) script-bindings for your favorite programming language!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ mkdir /mnt/helloworld
|
||
|
|
$ fusescript fs/helloworld /mnt/helloworld
|
||
|
|
$ ls /mnt/helloworld
|
||
|
|
file1
|
||
|
|
$ cat /mnt/helloworld/file1
|
||
|
|
Hello world
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Profit! The `helloworld`-script serves a 'virtual filesystem' on the fly ❤
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> To see how this works, see the [fs/helloworld](fs/helloworld) shellscript, or the [python](fs/helloworld.py), [nodejs](fs/helloworld.js), [AWK](fs/helloworld.awk) script.

|
## Compile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* nix: `nix-build fusescript.nix`
|
||
|
|
* debian: `sudo apt-get install libfuse3-dev && make`
|
||
|
|
* buildroot [embedded]: put this repository in the `packages` directory and select it in 'External' (last menuitem when running `make menuconfig`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Rationale
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* App-development usually adds various layers of tree-structures
|
||
|
|
* the filesystem is **already** a tree-structure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Fusescript** is an exploration into mapping things to a filesystem **asap**.<br>
|
||
|
|
In such case, we'd want to prototype with 1% FUSE-functionality, without being forced into building/debugging C (on an embedded device).<br>

#### Crazy ideas:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* navigate database via the filesystem
|
||
|
|
* navigate REST api via the filesystem
|
||
|
|
* navigate fileformat-internals via the filesystem
|
||
|
|
* you name it!
