Filesystem functions

Functions to link files and images from Docly to your web content.

Ext­ract­Ba­se6­4Ima­ge­s(html)
This function extracts images encoded in base64 from an HTML string. It then converts these images to a more storage-efficient format by saving them separately as embedded files. The revised HTML string will reference these images using a Content ID (CID) mechanism, similar to how images are referenced in email attachments.

De­lete­Fil­e(filePath)
Deletes a specified file.
De­lete­Fol­d­er(folderPath)
Deletes a specified folder.
Fi­leE­xist­s(filePath)
Check whether a file exists or not within the site.
Fol­derE­xi­st­s(path)

GetJ­son(filepath)
Loads a JSON file and returns the content as an object.
Link­File(embeddedId, filename)

Loa­dEx­cel(filename, column, row, sheet)

Mo­veFi­le(filePath, toPath)

Sa­veEm­bed­d­ed­File(filePath, filename, data)

Saves a file to Docly document according to specified schema. Overwrites if it already exists.
Patch­Fil­e(filePath, patchData)
Updates/patches an existing file in Docly document according to specified schema. The patch is merged with existing data.
Sa­veJ­son(filePath, data, ensurePath)
Saves data as a JSON file to Docly with specified content stringified to JSON format. This function is ideal for storing structured data in a standardized format. For more advanced document saving with custom schemas, consider using the "SaveFile" function.
LogJ­son(filePath, data)
Creates a new JSON array file or adds a new item to the existing array in the file. This function works as a log, maintaining an array of events. The server automatically adds a timestamp to each log entry.
