-# SmartFile
-> SmartFile offers smart ways to work with files in nodejs.
+# @push.rocks/smartfile
+
+> Provides a robust suite of tools for managing files in Node.js using TypeScript.
 
 ## Install
-To install SmartFile, use npm or Yarn as follows:
 
-```
-npm install @push.rocks/smartfile --save
-```
-Or:
-```
-yarn add @push.rocks/smartfile
+To integrate `@push.rocks/smartfile` into your project, run:
+
+```bash
+npm install @push.rocks/smartfile
 ```
 
 ## Usage
 
-SmartFile is a comprehensive toolkit for file manipulation in Node.js. It provides functionalities for working with the filesystem, in-memory operations, streaming, and handling virtual directories. Below, you will find examples showcasing how to utilize these functionalities effectively.
+`@push.rocks/smartfile` offers extensive file management utilities, enabling seamless file processing with TypeScript in a Node.js environment. Below are detailed examples showcasing various features of the module.
 
-### Basic File Operations
+### Quick Start
 
-For reading and writing files, SmartFile provides synchronous and asynchronous methods. Here’s how you can use them:
-
-#### Async Write to File
+First, ensure you're working in an environment that supports ECMAScript modules (ESM) and TypeScript. Here’s how you’d generally import and use `@push.rocks/smartfile`:
 
 ```typescript
-import { memory } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
-
-const myData: string = 'Hello, SmartFile!';
-
-// Writing string data to a file asynchronously
-memory.toFs(myData, './data/hello.txt');
+import { SmartFile, StreamFile, VirtualDirectory, fs, memory, interpreter } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
 ```
 
-#### Sync Write to File
+### Working with `SmartFile`
+
+#### Reading Files
+
+To read from a file and convert it to a `SmartFile` instance:
 
 ```typescript
-import { memory } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
-
-const myData: string = 'Hello, World!';
-
-// Writing string data to a file synchronously
-memory.toFsSync(myData, './data/helloSync.txt');
+const myJsonSmartFile: SmartFile = await SmartFile.fromFilePath('./somePath/data.json');
+const jsonData = JSON.parse(myJsonSmartFile.contents.toString());
+console.log(jsonData);  // Assuming the file contains JSON content
 ```
 
-### Working with Streams
+#### Writing Files
 
-Streaming files to and from the filesystem is made easy with SmartFile. Here’s an example:
-
-#### Creating Read and Write Streams
+To write data to a file through a `SmartFile`:
 
 ```typescript
-import { fsStream } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
-import * as fs from 'fs';
-
-// Creating a read stream
-const readStream = fsStream.createReadStream('./data/readme.txt');
-
-// Creating a write stream
-const writeStream = fsStream.createWriteStream('./data/copy.txt');
-
-// Piping the read stream to the write stream
-readStream.pipe(writeStream);
+const filePath: string = './output/outputData.json';
+const content: string = JSON.stringify({ key: 'value' });
+await memory.toFs(content, filePath);
 ```
 
-### Dealing with Virtual Directories
+### Streaming Large Files with `StreamFile`
 
-Virtual directories allow you to group and manipulate files as if they were in a filesystem structure without actually writing them to disk.
+When dealing with large files, you can use `StreamFile` to handle such files efficiently, minimizing memory usage:
 
 ```typescript
-import { VirtualDirectory } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
-
-(async () => {
-  // Creating a virtual directory from the file system
-  const virtualDir = await VirtualDirectory.fromFsDirPath('./myDirectory');
-
-  // Adding files from another virtual directory
-  const anotherVirtualDir = await VirtualDirectory.fromFsDirPath('./anotherDirectory');
-  await virtualDir.addVirtualDirectory(anotherVirtualDir, 'merged');
-
-  // Saving the virtual directory to disk
-  await virtualDir.saveToDisk('./outputDirectory');
-})();
+const largeFile: StreamFile = await StreamFile.fromPath('./largeInput/largeFile.mp4');
+await largeFile.writeToDisk('./largeOutput/largeFileCopy.mp4');
 ```
 
-### Advanced File Manipulation
+### Working with Virtual Directories
 
-SmartFile also allows for more advanced file manipulation techniques through the `SmartFile` class.
+Handling multiple files as if they were part of a file system:
 
 ```typescript
-import { SmartFile } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
+const virtualDir = await VirtualDirectory.fromFsDirPath('./data/inputDir');
+await virtualDir.saveToDisk('./data/outputDir');
+```
 
-(async () => {
-  // Create a SmartFile instance from a file path
-  const smartFile = await SmartFile.fromFilePath('./data/example.txt');
+### File System Operations
 
-  // Edit the file content
-  await smartFile.editContentAsString(async (currentContent: string) => {
-    return currentContent.toUpperCase();
+`@push.rocks/smartfile` provides a suite of utilities for common file system operations such as copying, deleting, and listing files or directories.
+
+#### Copying a File
+
+```typescript
+await fs.copy('./sourceFile.txt', './destinationFile.txt');
+```
+
+#### Deleting a Directory
+
+```typescript
+await fs.remove('./directoryToDelete');
+```
+
+#### Listing Files in a Directory
+
+```typescript
+const fileList: string[] = await fs.listFiles('./someDirectory');
+console.log(fileList);
+```
+
+### Advanced File Management
+
+For specialized file operations, such as editing the contents of a file or streaming files from URLs, `@push.rocks/smartfile` includes advanced management features.
+
+#### Editing a File’s Contents
+
+```typescript
+const smartFileToEdit: SmartFile = await SmartFile.fromFilePath('./editableFile.txt');
+await smartFileToEdit.editContentAsString(async (content) => content.replace(/originalText/g, 'newText'));
+await smartFileToEdit.write();
+```
+
+#### Streaming a File from a URL
+
+```typescript
+const streamedFile: StreamFile = await StreamFile.fromUrl('https://example.com/file.pdf');
+await streamedFile.writeToDisk('./downloadedFiles/file.pdf');
+```
+
+### Working with File Buffers and Streams
+
+`@push.rocks/smartfile` allows you to easily work with files using Buffers and Streams, facilitating operations like file transformations, uploads, and downloads.
+
+#### Creating a SmartFile from a Buffer
+
+```typescript
+const buffer: Buffer = Buffer.from('Sample data');
+const bufferSmartFile: SmartFile = await SmartFile.fromBuffer('./bufferFile.txt', buffer);
+await bufferSmartFile.write();
+```
+
+### Using `VirtualDirectory` for Complex File Management
+
+`VirtualDirectory` simplifies the management of multiple files that are otherwise scattered across different directories or created at runtime. 
+
+#### Creating a `VirtualDirectory`
+
+To create a `VirtualDirectory` from an existing file directory:
+
+```typescript
+const virtualDirectory = await VirtualDirectory.fromFsDirPath('./someDirectory');
+```
+
+#### Adding More Files
+
+You can add more `SmartFile` instances to your `VirtualDirectory`:
+
+```typescript
+const additionalFiles = [
+  await SmartFile.fromFilePath('./anotherDirectory/file1.txt'),
+  await SmartFile.fromFilePath('./anotherDirectory/file2.txt')
+];
+virtualDirectory.addSmartfiles(additionalFiles);
+```
+
+#### Saving `VirtualDirectory` to Disk
+
+Save your entire `VirtualDirectory` to disk:
+
+```typescript
+await virtualDirectory.saveToDisk('./outputDirectory');
+```
+
+### Utilizing StreamFile for Efficient File Handling
+
+Using `StreamFile` can be especially beneficial for large files or when performing streaming operations.
+
+#### Streaming from a URL
+
+`StreamFile` provides capabilities to stream files directly from URLs, making it easier to work with remote content.
+
+```typescript
+const urlStreamFile: StreamFile = await StreamFile.fromUrl('https://example.com/largefile.zip');
+await urlStreamFile.writeToDisk('./downloadedFiles/largefile.zip');
+```
+
+### Combining Buffer and Stream Approaches
+
+Create `StreamFile` from a buffer for efficient, multi-use streams.
+
+```typescript
+const buffer = Buffer.from('Streaming buffer content');
+const bufferStreamFile = StreamFile.fromBuffer(buffer, 'bufferBasedStream.txt');
+await bufferStreamFile.writeToDisk('./streams/bufferBasedStream.txt');
+```
+
+### Read and Write Operations with StreamFile
+
+Perform read and write operations efficiently using `StreamFile`.
+
+```typescript
+const fileStream = await StreamFile.fromPath('./inputData/largeFile.data');
+await fileStream.writeToDisk('./outputData/largeFileCopy.data');
+```
+
+Check for completeness of your read and write operations, ensuring the integrity of file content.
+
+```typescript
+const readBuffer = await fileStream.getContentAsBuffer();
+console.log(readBuffer.toString());
+```
+
+### Ensuring File Readiness for Streaming
+
+Ensure a file is ready for streaming or create a custom readable stream incorporating data transformation.
+
+```typescript
+const smartReadStream = new SmartReadStream('./incomingData/sample.data');
+smartReadStream.on('data', (chunk) => {
+  console.log('New Data Chunk:', chunk.toString());
 });
-
-  // Write the changes back to disk
-  await smartFile.write();
-})();
 ```
 
-### Conversion and Interpretation
+### File Transformation with SmartReadStream
 
-You can easily convert file contents to objects or interpret file types for further processing:
+Perform transformations on the stream of data while reading:
 
 ```typescript
-import { memory } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';
-
-(async () => {
-  const fileString: string = await fs.promises.readFile('./data/example.json', 'utf8');
-  const fileObject = memory.toObject(fileString, 'json');
-
-  console.log(fileObject);
-  // Proceed with the object...
-})();
+smartReadStream.on('data', (chunk) => {
+  // Perform some transformation
+  const transformedChunk = chunk.toString().toUpperCase();
+  console.log('Transformed Data Chunk:', transformedChunk);
+});
 ```
