mx8fs 1.0.0.8

MX8 Filing system

MX8 File system

This library provides environment agnostic file system access across local and AWS, including:

• File / IO
• List / Glob
• Locking
• Caching
• Comparing Dictionaries

Pre-commit hooks

We use precommit to run formatting checks, so whenever you clone a project run:

pre-commit install

Before you do anything else.

You can run this at any time using:

pre-commit run --all-files

Setting up the development environment

You can install the full dev requirements by running setup.sh to

1. Install the current repo and the python lib
2. Run the pre-commit hooks on all files

The project should open reasonable well in vs.code and includes three launch configurations for running unit tests and the debug server.

Code conventions and structure

We use python type hinting with pylance and flake8 for linting. Unit tests are created to 100% branch coverage.

Key libraries are Boto3 and FastAPI. Full details are in requirements.txt.

The code is structured as follows:

• The mx8fs folder contains the full library.
• Tests are stored in the tests folder and run using pytest.

• The github actions are in main.yam
