# Virtual File System

Cozy applications can use files for storing binary content, like photos or bills
in PDF. This service offers a REST API to manipulate easily without having to
know the underlying storage layer. The metadata are kept in CouchDB, but the
binaries can go to the local system, or a Swift instance.

## Directories

A directory is a container for files and sub-directories.

Its path is the path of its parent, a slash (`/`), and its name. It's case
sensitive.

### Root directory

The root of the virtual file system is a special directory with id
`io.cozy.files.root-dir`.

You can use it in any request where you would use a directory, except you cannot
delete it.

### POST /files/:dir-id

Create a new directory. The `dir-id` parameter is optional. When it's not given,
the directory is created at the root of the virtual file system.

those in subdirectories.

#### Request

```http
GET /files/fce1a6c0-dfc5-11e5-8d1a-1f854d4aaf81/size HTTP/1.1

      "size": "1234567890"
    },
    "meta": {}
  }
}
```

### GET `/files/_changes`

This endpoint is similar to the changes feed of CouchDB for io.cozy.files.
There are a few specificities:

- it is wrapped in the VFS lock to avoid seeing inconsistent results
- it automatically skips design docs
- if the requests is coming from an OAuth client, it excludes the files and directories that are in a not synchronized folder
- it only supports the options `since`, `limit`, and `include_docs` of CouchDB
- it has an option `fields` to only include those fields in the results
- it has an option `include_file_path` to add the `path` for files
- it has two options `skip_deleted` and `skip_trashed` to not send to the client the deleted/trashed files and directories.

### Request

```http
GET /files/_changes?include_docs=true&fields=type,name,dir_id&skip_deleted=true&limit=3 HTTP/1.1
```

### Response

```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

### POST `/files/_find`

Find allows to find documents using a mango selector. You can read more about mango selectors [here](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/database/find.html#selector-syntax).

Note that it returns a
[bookmark](https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack/blob/master/docs/mango.md#pagination-cookbook)
in the `links`, useful to paginate (following the [JSON-API
pagination](./http-api.md#pagination)). On the last page, there won't be a
`links.next`.

It is possible to pass a `execution_stats` parameter to get some information about the query execution. See [here](https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/database/find.html#execution-statistics) for more details.

### DELETE /files/:dir-id

Put a directory and its subtree in the trash. It requires the permissions on
`io.cozy.files` for `PATCH`.

#### HTTP headers

It's possible to send the `If-Match` header, with the previous revision of the
file/directory (optional).

## Files

A file is a binary content with some metadata.

### POST /files/:dir-id

Upload a file in the directory identified by `:dir-id`.

The `created_at` field will be the first valid value in this list:

- the datetime extracted from the EXIF for a photo
- the `CreatedAt` parameter from the query-string
- the `Date` HTTP header
- the current time from the server.

The `updated_at` field will be the first value in this list:

- the datetime extracted from the EXIF for a photo if it is greater than the other values
- the `UpdatedAt` parameter from the query-string
- the `Date` HTTP header
- the current time from the server.

/!\ If the `updated_at` field is older than the `created_at` one,
then the `updated_at` will be set with the value of the `created_at`.

### POST /files/upload/metadata

Send a metadata object that can be associated to a file (or directory) uploaded
after that, via the `MetadataID` query parameter. The `MetadataID` parameter is
only valid for 10 minutes, and will expire after that.

**Note:** a special permission on `io.cozy.certified.carbon_copy` is required
to send a request with `carbonCopy` as key in the `attributes` map. Same for
`electronicSafe`.

See the [metadata doctype](https://docs.cozy.io/en/cozy-doctypes/docs/io.cozy.files_metadata/) to know more about metadata attributes that can be set, notably for images and document qualification.

#### Request

```http
POST /files/upload/metadata HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json
```

```json
{
  "data": {
    "type": "io.cozy.files.metadata",
    "attributes": {
      "qualification": {
        "label": "telecom_invoice",
        "purpose": "invoice",

      },
      "datetime": "2017-04-22T01:00:00-05:00"
    }
  }
}
```

#### Response

```http
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json
```

```json
{
  "data": {
    "type": "io.cozy.files.metadata",
    "id": "42E6BD48",

      },
      "datetime": "2017-04-22T01:00:00-05:00"
    }
  }
}
```

### GET /files/download/:file-id

Download the file content.

By default the `content-disposition` will be `inline`, but it will be
`attachment` if the query string contains the parameter `Dl=1`

#### Request

```http
GET /files/download/fce1a6c0-dfc5-11e5-8d1a-1f854d4aaf81 HTTP/1.1
```

#### Response

```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 12
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="hello.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello world!
```

### GET /files/download

Download the file content from its path.

By default the `content-disposition` will be `inline`, but it will be
`attachment` if the query string contains the parameter `Dl=1`

#### Request

```http
GET /files/download?Path=/Documents/hello.txt&Dl=1 HTTP/1.1
```

### GET /files/:file-id/icon/:secret

Get an image that shows the first page of a PDF in a small resolution (96x96).

**Note:** this route is deprecated, you should use thumbnails instead.

### GET /files/:file-id/preview/:secret

Get an image that shows the first page of a PDF (at most 1080x1920).

**Note:** this route is deprecated, you should use thumbnails instead.

### GET /files/:file-id/thumbnails/:secret/:format

Get a thumbnail of a file (for an image & pdf only). `:format` can be `tiny` (96x96)
`small` (640x480), `medium` (1280x720), or `large` (1920x1080).

This API does not require authentication because the secret acts as a token. 
This secret is valid for 10 minutes, after which the link will return an error. 
To retrieve a new functional link, you must query the files API again to obtain
a new secret.

### PUT /files/:file-id

Overwrite a file

The `updated_at` field will be the first value in this list:

- the datetime extracted from the EXIF for a photo if it is greater than the other values
- the `UpdatedAt` parameter from the query-string
- the `Date` HTTP header
- the current time from the server.

/!\ If the `updated_at` field is older than the `created_at` one, then the
`updated_at` will be set with the value of the `created_at`.

#### Query-String

| Parameter               | Description                                                    |

### PATCH /files/:file-id and PATCH /files/metadata

Both endpoints can be used to update the metadata of a file or directory, or to
rename/move it. The difference is the first one uses an id to identify the
file/directory to update, and the second one uses the path.

Some specific attributes of the patch can be used:

- `dir_id` attribute can be updated to move a file or directory
- `move_to_trash` boolean to specify that the file needs to be moved to the
  trash
- `permanent_delete` boolean to specify that the files needs to be deleted
  (after being trashed)
- `cozyMetadata.favorite` boolean attribute to put/remove a file from the
  favorites

#### HTTP headers

It's possible to send the `If-Match` header, with the previous revision of the
file/directory (optional).

#### Request

```http
PATCH /files/9152d568-7e7c-11e6-a377-37cbfb190b4b HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/vnd.api+json
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json

      "tags": ["poem"],
      "cozyMetadata": {
        "favorite": true
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Status codes

- 200 OK, when the file or directory metadata has been successfully updated
- 400 Bad Request, when a the directory is asked to move to one of its
  sub-directories
- 404 Not Found, when the file/directory wasn't existing
- 412 Precondition Failed, when the `If-Match` header is set and doesn't match
  the last revision of the file/directory
- 422 Unprocessable Entity, when the sent data is invalid (for example, the
  parent doesn't exist)

      "meta": {"rev": "2-123123"},
      "attributes": {"move_to_trash": true}
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Status codes

The same status codes can be encountered as the `PATCH /files/:file-id` route.

### POST /files/archive

Create an archive. The body of the request lists the files and directories that
will be included in the archive. For directories, it includes all the files and
sub-directories in the archive.

It's possible to give a file by its id (in the `ids` array) or by its path (in
the `files` array).

The generated archive is temporary and is not persisted.

#### Request

```http
POST /files/archive HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json
```

```json
{
  "data": {
    "type": "io.cozy.files.archives",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "project-X",
      "ids": ["a51aeeea-4f79-11e7-9dc4-83f67e9494ab"],
      "files": [
        "/Documents/bills",
        "/Documents/images/sunset.jpg",
        "/Documents/images/eiffel-tower.jpg"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

#### Response

```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json
```

```json
{
  "links": {
    "related": "/files/archive/4521DC87/project-X.zip"
  },
  "data": {
    "type": "io.cozy.files.archives",
    "id": "4521DC87",
    "attributes": {
      "href": "/files/archive/4521DC87/project-X.zip"
    }
  }
}
```

### GET /files/archive/:key/:name

Download a previously created archive. The name parameter is not used in the
stack but aims to allow setting a name even for browser / downloader that do not
support Content-Disposition filename.

**This route does not require Basic Authentification**

```http
GET /files/archive/4521DC87/project-X.zip HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/zip
Content-Length: 12345
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="project-X.zip"
Content-Type: application/zip
```

### POST /files/downloads?Path=file_path

Create a file download. The Path query parameter specifies the file to download.
The response json API links contains a `related` link for downloading the file,
see below.

### POST /files/downloads?Id=file_id

Also create a file download. But it takes the id of the file and not its path.

### POST /files/downloads?VersionId=file_id/version_id

This is a third way to create a file download. But, this time, it is for
downloading an old version of a file.

These 3 routes also accept a `Filename=...` parameter in the query-string to
change the filename that will be used for the downloaded file.

### GET /files/downloads/:secret/:name

Allows to download a file with a secret created from the route above.

The name parameter is not used in the stack but aims to allow setting a name
even for browser / downloader that do not support Content-Disposition filename.

By default the `content-disposition` will be `inline`, but it will be
`attachment` if the query string contains the parameter `Dl=1`

**This route does not require Basic Authentification**

## Versions

The identifier of the `io.cozy.files.versions` is composed of the `file-id` and
another string called the `version-id`, separated by a `/`. So, when a route
makes reference to `/something/:file-id/:version-id`, you can use the identifier
of the version document (without having to prepend the file identifier).

### GET /files/download/:file-id/:version-id

Download an old version of the file content

By default the `content-disposition` will be `inline`, but it will be
`attachment` if the query string contains the parameter `Dl=1`

#### Request

```http
GET /files/download/9152d568-7e7c-11e6-a377-37cbfb190b4b/1-0e6d5b72 HTTP/1.1
```

### POST /files/:file-id/versions

Create a new version of a file, with the same content but new metadata. It
requires a permission for PUT on the file, as it is equivalent to upload the
same content of the file.

#### Query-String

| Parameter | Description        |
| --------- | ------------------ |
| Tags      | an array of tags   |

#### Request

```http

## Trash

When a file is deleted, it is first moved to the trash. In the trash, it can be
restored. Or, after some time, it will be removed from the trash and permanently
destroyed.

The file `trashed` attribute will be set to true.

### GET /files/trash

List the files inside the trash. It's paginated.

### Query-String

| Parameter    | Description                           |

### POST /files/trash/:file-id

Restore the file with the `file-id` identifiant into its `restore_path`. If a file already exists at the restore path with the same name, a suffix will be added to avoid any conflict.

The file's `trashed` attributes will be set to false.

### DELETE /files/trash/:file-id

Destroy the file and make it unrecoverable (it will still be available in
backups).

### DELETE /files/trash

Clear out the trash.

## Trashed attribute

All files that are inside the trash will have a `trashed: true` attribute. This
attribute can be used in mango queries to only get "interesting" files.

## Real-time via websockets

In addition to the normal events for files, the stack also injects some events
when a thumbnail is generated. A permission on `io.cozy.files` is required to
subscribe to those events on `io.cozy.files.thumbnails`.
