[](#fal-filewriter-)

Little helper package for when you want to create files and save them to TYPO3's File Abstraction Layer

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

FAL Filewriter is no TYPO3 extension and not available via TER. It can only be installed via composer:

`composer require smichaelsen/fal-filewriter`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### FileGenerator

[](#filegenerator)

You need to create a class that provides the content that will be saved in a file. It has to implement the `\Smichaelsen\FalFilewriter\FileGeneratorInterface`, which is fairly easy.

### Storage

[](#storage)

By default your TYPO3 installation will have a storage record with uid `1` pointing to the fileadmin, but of course you can configure your own storage records pointing to other folders or even to external services like AWS.

Load the storage object like this:

```
$storage = $this->objectManager->get(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\StorageRepository::class)->findByUid($fileStorageUid);

```

### FileWriterService

[](#filewriterservice)

The `\Smichaelsen\FalFilewriter\FileWriterService` has one public method `saveFile()` which takes the following parameters:

- **$fileGenerator**: Your file generator object implementing the `FileGeneratorInterface`.
- **$fileIdentifier**: The file name which may include a relative path inside the `$storage` folder. The file extension may be omitted. Then it is read from the `$fileGenerator` (`->getFileExtension()`). If the file name starts with a path that doesn't exist it will be tried to create that path.
- **$storage**: The `ResourceStorage` object to save the file in. See above ("Storage") for more information.

As return value you will receive a `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileInterface` object for the saved file.

Example:

```
/** @var \Smichaelsen\FalFilewriter\FileWriterService $fileWriterService */
/** @var \Smichaelsen\FalFilewriter\FileGeneratorInterface $fileGenerator */
/** @var \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\ResourceStorage $storage */
$fileObject = $fileWriterService->saveFile($fileGenerator, 'folder/my-filename', $storage);

```
