Apache OpenDAL™ Go Binding

opendal-go is a Native support Go binding without CGO enabled and is built on top of opendal-c.

go get github.com/apache/opendal/bindings/go@latest

opendal-go requires libffi to be installed.

Basic Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/apache/opendal-go-services/memory"
	opendal "github.com/apache/opendal/bindings/go"
)

func main() {
	// Initialize a new in-memory operator
	op, err := opendal.NewOperator(memory.Scheme, opendal.OperatorOptions{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer op.Close()

	// Write data to a file named "test"
	err = op.Write("test", []byte("Hello opendal go binding!"))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Read data from the file "test"
	data, err := op.Read("test")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Read content: %s\n", data)

	// List all entries under the root directory "/"
	lister, err := op.List("/")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer lister.Close()

	// Iterate through all entries
	for lister.Next() {
		entry := lister.Entry()

		// Get entry name (not used in this example)
		_ = entry.Name()

		// Get metadata for the current entry
		meta, _ := op.Stat(entry.Path())

		// Print file size
		fmt.Printf("Size: %d bytes\n", meta.ContentLength())

		// Print last modified time
		fmt.Printf("Last modified: %s\n", meta.LastModified())

		// Check if the entry is a directory or a file
		fmt.Printf("Is directory: %v, Is file: %v\n", meta.IsDir(), meta.IsFile())
	}

	// Check for any errors that occurred during iteration
	if err := lister.Error(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Copy a file
	op.Copy("test", "test_copy")

	// Rename a file
	op.Rename("test", "test_rename")

	// Delete a file
	op.Delete("test_rename")
}
