Allow for file uploads
File uploads allow people with datasets to upload their files to the server in order to publish them. This takes away the step of that person needing to publishing the file somewhere online before publishing it.
I think over here we should certainly enable the option for cloud storage. Your thoughts?
How about using http://flysystem.thephpleague.com/ for this?
Is it? I thought Digipolis had a special own place for all of their files to which they could FTP or something?
Yes, could be, but we need file upload in the interface. The goal is to remove data management from the portal and put this in TDT, but for that we need file upload in the UI. The API would be used as a read-only API then.
Are you guys planning on uploading the 200MB files as well? Because that would mean allowing to post such a large file + allowing the connecting to be open that long?
Yes, but that is server settings and can be configured. First thing is the functionality :)
Planned for the next release it is :) Will probably be implemented with an internal deadline somewhere in september I believe.
I'd consider:
- Using flysystem for storing the data on different kind of locations: http://flysystem.thephpleague.com/
- Implementing an option to circumvent The DataTank to do magic with the file when the representation is big and cannot be loaded into memory.
- Flysystem is on our radar, we use it in other projects to connect with Dropbox and Google Drive (@daften is that an option?)
- You mean only showing a chunk of the data, like we're doing now or?
Flysystem is a league package, big fan :) So we can provide a configuration somewhere to add an application key of GDrive or Dropbox in order to define paths to data files?
I think local file storage should also be pluggable (IMO). Remote filesystems can be cloud tools or nfs shares maybe?
Flysystem abstract filesystems entirely, so it doesn't really matter. If we use the local file storage however, we need to build an upload functionality though. So either we focus on local, or Dropbox, Gdrive, ... . The implementation will be using Flysystem but if we know which implementation we can focus on, that'd be nice ;)
Vraag ik om door onze analyste te laten bepalen dan ;)
