[Sugar-devel] DataStore interface for HTML5 Activity

[lionel at olpc-france.org]

Hi all,

 

As we decided to our IRC meeting last week, I’ve wrote a first draft
proposal for the JavaScript DataStore interface [1].

 

Basically the interface just match the DataStore existing interface. 

The main issue is related to the concept of "file":

-          File is at the heart of the DataStore concept: the DataStore is
nothing else than a place to store files and metadata related to files,

-          But: file handling is not a common practice in JavaScript!

 

The good news is that HTML5 comes with few File system and Files handling
functions [2][3].

I didn’t test it but it should work on WebKit.

 

Do not hesitate to comment/update.

 

                Lionel
