Extensibility

The extension is exposing extended interface (API) to execute filesystem operations, therefore, the main use-case of Remote Filesystem Integration (Bb_Storage) extension is in custom features.

Instead of using \Magento\Framework\Filesystem object, you will need to use \Bb\Storage\Framework\Filesystem defined as API preference for \Bb\Storage\Api\Filesystem\ExtendedFilesystemInterface.

Important

• This project is under active development phase, and there are plans for a bunch of new features or Magento 2 Community platform refactoring. You can check there plans on Project Roadmap.
• Feel free to create new issues for feature requests, new ideas, and improvements or bugs related to these extensions: On GitHub

Warning

See some known issues related to Magento Core directories overwriting.

Extend filesystem to achieve more from your shop

The core module Bb_Storage offers the underlying structure of configuring new directories in the Magento application and mapping them to a remote or local filesystem.

Basically, you have to decide if one directory is stored locally or on a cloud storage service, by creating a configuration mapping in env.php file.

Built with extensibility in mind

Any remote filesystem service can work on top of Bb_Storage, as long as an integration driver extension is developed for the particular service.

In case a driver extension is missing from marketplace, it can be developed implementing \Bb\Storage\Api\Filesystem\DriverInterface and register it under di.xml.

Create new filesystem driver

• create a new module

• create a driver class which implements all methods of this interface BbStorageApiFrameworkFilesystemDriverInterface.

• create a factory for your driver class by implementing \Bb\Storage\Api\Filesystem\DriverFactoryInterface

  • the create” method of this class you will receive unique directory identifier and all required configuration needed to create new instances for your driver

• register the factory under factory driver pool

  <type name="Bb\Storage\Framework\Filesystem\Driver\DriverFactoryPool">
      <arguments>
          <argument name="factories" xsi:type="array">
              <item name="s3" xsi:type="string">Bb\StorageS3\Filesystem\Driver\S3Factory</item>
          </argument>
      </arguments>
  </type>
  

• register your driver in the driver pool

  <type name="Bb\Storage\Framework\Filesystem\DriverPool">
      <arguments>
          <argument name="extraTypes" xsi:type="array">
              <item name="s3" xsi:type="string">Bb\StorageS3\Filesystem\Driver\S3</item>
          </argument>
      </arguments>
  </type>
  

After all this step, you can define new directories or create mapping for existing ones using the created driver.

See: bb/mage-file-storage/dev/sample-files/env.php

namespace Bb\Storage\Api\Framework\Filesystem;

use Bb\Storage\Api\Data\FileInterface;

    /**

     *
     * @param string $path
     * @param $flag
     * @param $context
     * @return FileInterface
     */
    public function readFileObject(string $path, $flag = null, $context = null): FileInterface;

    /**
     * @param string $path
     * @return array
     */
    public function getHeaders(string $path): array;

    /**
     * @param $absolutePath
     * @return bool
     */
    public function isLeafDirectory(string $absolutePath): bool;

    /**
     * get an url to show files in frontend
     *
     * @param $path
     * @return string
     */
    public function getUrl($path): string;

    /**
     * @param $baseUrl
     * @return string
     */
    public function rewriteBaseUrl($baseUrl): string;

    /**
     * @return bool
     */
    public function hasBaseUrlRewrite(): bool;

    /**
     * @param \Magento\Framework\Filesystem\DriverInterface $targetDriver
     * @return bool
     */
    public function sameLocation(\Magento\Framework\Filesystem\DriverInterface $targetDriver): bool;

    /**
     * @return bool
     */
    public function requireFallbackDirectory(): bool;
}

All configurations available and explained here are available for the newly implemented driver.
