Local Provider

The local provider leverages the Java Non Block io package.

Use the local provider to store files in a local filesystem where your application is running. Behind the scenes it leverages the Java nio package to provide concurrency, atomicity, and non-blocking operations.

Configuration

Example

config/ColdBox.cfc

moduleSettings = {
  "cbfs": {
	// The default disk with a reserved name of 'default'
	"defaultDisk" : "myStorage",
	// Register the disks on the system
	"disks"       : {
	  // Your default application storage
	  "myStorage" : {
		"provider"   : "Local",
		"properties" : { 
			"path" : "#controller.getAppRootPath()#.myStorage",
			"diskUrl" : function(){
				return variables.controller
					.getRequestService()
					.getContext()
					.getHtmlBaseUrl()
					& "storage/.mystorage/";
			}
		}
	  }
	}
  }
};
