IndexedDB Filesystem #26

Closed jvilk closed 10 years ago

jvilk commented 11 years ago

Add an IndexedDB file system that is the following:

I may eventually add symlink support (just to have a symlink-capable file system), but it's much less important right now than the above.

I imagine this will be the most useful browser-local backend for BrowserFS, as IndexedDB is decently supported across browsers and can store large files.

We now support IndexedDB as an asynchronous key-value file system. It currently does not support chmod, utimes and the gang, but I plan to add that support to key-value file systems in general quite soon.
