Please test solid-file-client, a simple Javascript library for managing Solid files and folders. This provides a convenience wrapper around solid-auth-client with consistent error handling and coding shortcuts like createFolder(), updateFile(), fetchAndParse(). It works in the browser or in a node/require context, and, for reading, on a node command line. A first version is available at [https://github.com/jeff-zucker/solid-file-client](https://github.com/jeff-zucker/solid-file-client). I would appreciate any and all feedback. ---

I’m not sure when I’ll get a chance to play with this @jeffz but having worked in this area (hooking up file type APIs and backends including LDP in the b browser) for a while now it is great to see, so I am your first star on github. 🙂 ---

Hi, I’ve created some issue on your repo. If you’d like, I can do some refactor for you, so it’s easier to add test to it. ---

Works great, though for some reason i get actual metadata (filesize, datestamp, explicit urls, …) edit: Oh, the FolderMenu was blank, so that may have something to do with it.

@jeffz : I’ve got a question about solid-file-client : I use it for my shexy test [Mocha Tests](https://scenaristeur.github.io/spoggy-simple/shexy/mocha_browser/moch.html) but when a file is created by solid-file-client, I can’t edit it after, compared as when it create it via the data-browser, I can . I want to create a basicPost.ttl ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/solidproject/original/2X/3/3a4e58a5135bf3e40a8f2fea1d30d7851b456968.png) here is a file basicPost.ttl created by solid-file-client there is no \< / \> source icon as you can see ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/solidproject/original/2X/2/2acc21c52bb433f248a43c976b7008cc4d1679a3.png) then i handmake a new file through data-browser and I copy the “data as N3” , (second icon) into this new file. when I refresh, this last one has the “source edit icon” : \ ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/solidproject/original/2X/8/8c91dc306d810bfd8b3ad1943ac81ac7a8ca2c61.png) but not the first one . Do you know why ? is this due to the lib ? the server or may I do something wrong ? my source is here [spoggy-simple/submit.js at 5f9a20f1baf85c6b39817ca9f1283226cd36e173 · scenaristeur/spoggy-simple · GitHub](https://github.com/scenaristeur/spoggy-simple/blob/5f9a20f1baf85c6b39817ca9f1283226cd36e173/shexy/app/modules/submit.js#L178) with solid-file-clien-bundle [spoggy-simple/shexy/mocha\_browser/dist at master · scenaristeur/spoggy-simple · GitHub](https://github.com/scenaristeur/spoggy-simple/tree/master/shexy/mocha_browser/dist) Thxs ---

This almost certainly has to do with the change in content-type policy with NSS 5.x. From now on, all file creation commands need to specify a content-type even if the type is text/turtle. So remove the .ttl extension in the file name and put in “text/turtle” as the third parameter to createFile() and it should work. Ping me back if it doesn’t. ^^ @Smag0 ---
