# @push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces

an interface package for @pushrocks/smartfile

## Install

To install `@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces`, use npm:

```bash
npm install @push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces --save
```

This command will add `@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces` as a dependency to your project and download it to the `node_modules` directory.

## Usage

Using `@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces` in your TypeScript project is straightforward. This package provides TypeScript interfaces to enhance type checking and autocompletion when working with file-related operations, especially in projects that also use `@pushrocks/smartfile`.

First, ensure your TypeScript project is set up properly to use ESM syntax. You might need to include `"type": "module"` in your `package.json` or use the `.mjs` extension for your module files.

### Basic Example

Once you've included `@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces` in your project, you can start using the interfaces to define types for file operations. For instance, if you're working with an object representing a virtual directory structure to be passed around in your application, you might want to use the `VirtualDirTransferableObject` interface for type safety.

```typescript
import type { VirtualDirTransferableObject } from '@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces';

// Example of a virtual directory object implementing the interface
const virtualDir: VirtualDirTransferableObject = {
  files: [
    'path/to/your/file1.txt',
    'path/to/your/file2.jpg',
    // Add more file paths as needed
  ],
};

console.log(virtualDir);
```

This simple code sample demonstrates how to use the `VirtualDirTransferableObject` interface to ensure your virtual directory objects conform to a predetermined structure, providing clearer code documentation and enhanced type safety.

### Advanced Usage

In a more complex application, interfaces from `@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces` can be used in conjunction with other types and interfaces to facilitate more sophisticated file handling operations. For example, you might be creating a function responsible for processing virtual directories, filtering out specific files, or performing other actions. Leveraging TypeScript's type system can significantly reduce bugs and development time.

```typescript
import type { VirtualDirTransferableObject } from '@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces';

function processVirtualDir(virtualDir: VirtualDirTransferableObject) {
  // Implement logic to process the virtual directory
  // For example, filtering out non-text files
  const textFiles = virtualDir.files.filter(file => file.endsWith('.txt'));

  return {
    ...virtualDir,
    files: textFiles,
  };
}

// Example usage
const initialVirtualDir: VirtualDirTransferableObject = {
  files: [
    'path/to/your/file1.txt',
    'path/to/your/important.pdf',
    'path/to/your/note.txt',
  ],
};

const processedDir = processVirtualDir(initialVirtualDir);
console.log('Processed virtual directory:', processedDir);
```

This advanced example showcases how to use the interface to create more reliable and maintainable code for file processing tasks in a TypeScript project.

### Notes

Remember, when using TypeScript, leveraging interfaces not only provides type safety but also enhances code documentation and developer experience through better autocompletion and error checking.

As you integrate `@push.rocks/smartfile-interfaces` into larger projects, consider how these interfaces interact with other parts of your application and external libraries. The goal is to achieve a cohesive system where data structures and operations are well-defined and understood across your codebase.
