MemFileProvider

class

The filesystem provider defines what the editor needs to read, write, discover, and to manage files and folders. It allows extensions to serve files from remote places, like ftp-servers, and to seamlessly integrate those into the editor.

• Note 1: The filesystem provider API works with uris and assumes hierarchical paths, e.g. foo:/my/path is a child of foo:/my/ and a parent of foo:/my/path/deeper.
• Note 2: The word 'file' is often used to denote all kinds of files, e.g. folders, regular files.
