File uploads plugin for TiddlyWiki5

Under development plugin for TiddlyWiki5 that uploads binary tiddlers to external storage and creates _canonical_uri tiddlers in their stead. Beta release available at https://saqimtiaz.github.io/tw5-file-uploads/

The File Uploads plugin supports multiple pluggable storage backends via uploader modules:

• Fission Webnative
• Github (experimental)
• others hopefully to be added such as Amazon S3, nodejs, Imgur etc.

The plugin itself includes a "dummy" uploader module which implements the interface required of uploader modules but just mocks uploading by logging to the browser developer console.

It is recommended to disable AutoSave when using this plugin, to avoid saving imported binary tiddlers twice and using up twice the bandwidth.

The development of this plugin and the uploader modules is being funded via OpenCollective

tw5-file-uploads's Issues

Use a cascade instead of a single filter

Use a cascade instead of a single filter expression to determine whether a tiddler should be uploaded. If the cascade returns a result, the tiddler is uploaded.

A cascade is likely easier for end-users than writing a single complex filter expression consisting of multiple runs. This approach would be more extensible as well, allowing for example plugins to add upload rules.

getBlob assumes all tiddlers are base64 and throws an error for plain text

Proposed change:

UploadItem.prototype.getBlob = function() {
	if(this.isBase64) {
		var byteArray = this.getUint8Array();
		return new Blob([byteArray], {type: this.type});		
	} else {
		return new Blob([this.text],{type: "text/plain"});
	}
};

Local relative file path storage method is needed

Thanks for you plugin, it is very useful! Is it possible to add a local path storage method?
