While getting quotes for a site recently the question of filesystem came up a lot and I admittedly didn’t know much on the subject.
Doing some research the popular choices appear to be either PHP frameworks or less often ASP.NET frameworks.
Among popular PHP frameworks I see Laravel come up a lot, open source is certainly more reliable than something maintained by Google, Facebook, or Amazon but currently the Laravel maintainers are pushing AI really really hard.
So is the only real solution to learn to program with PHP without using any frameworks or libraries? Can anybody who has implemented a secure fileserver for a website tell me how difficult or easy it would be to learn?
A simple search could do you a world of good, pal.
Don’t be a dick to people that are actually trying to help you, when you admittedly don’t know what you’re talking about.
That’s kind of their whole thing
Anybody who doesn’t understand what is being discussed after reading that should not be trying to answer, I don’t really have a lot of time to educate every single passerby on the most basic of terminology.
The quoted text makes no sense. It has gaps. And the comment you dismissed seemingly pointed that out.
Websites don’t have a file system. They serve content as responses.
PHP is not a filesystem. ASPNET is not a filesystem.
You could be talking about managing files, you could be talking about sourcing web responses from local files, or you could be talking about something else.
FileSystem Framework

FileSystem Framework
Examples: Laravel, ASP.NET, and NodeJS FS
Did that clear up your confusion?
Here is a link to the documentation for NodeJS FS: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html
Here is a link to Laravel’s FileSystem documentation with quote: https://www.laravel.wiki/en/filesystem
It’s fine to be legitimately curious but if you think the question is wrong then you’re arguing with reality.
Those aren’t fileystem frameworks but filesystem interfaces used by frameworks. Counter example of what i mean: https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
I’m certainly not going to use their interfaces on a different framework, so I’m looking for frameworks, Jack.
Nodejs is not a framework though. So you very well could use the exact thing you linked to with many different frameworks
A simple search could do you a world of good, pal. I’d start at the Dunning-Kruger-Effect and go on from there.
Your question makes little sense, and then you tell people to search for… Something?
Sure! Go to a sub where people are trying to be helpful and give an attitude when they ask you to make sense
If you know what PHP, Laravel, NodeJS:FS, etc are, or if you have a rudimentary understanding of tech stack terminology, then you know what FikeSystem refers to in this context. This post has answers and discussion before these sealioning “I dOn’T unDERsTaNd” trolls came in and started brigading.
If you don’t know then you cannot and should not answer this question.
Node:FS is a module for NodeJS which is the first time you have mentioned something that interacts with file systems. It is NOT a file system, but a way to work with a file system. All these programming languages and web frameworks you’re mentioning has a way to interact with file systems. You shouldn’t choose your tech stack based on this, you should choose it on all it’s other properties where they actually differ.
With your less-than-rudimentary understanding of IT and programming I’d suggest you avoid looking like an idiot by arguing with experts and just accept the free help and corrections that are offered. If you keep being an asshole when people try to understand what you mean because your explanation is all over the place, no one will offer their time, especially not for free.
It is literally called a FileSystem in the docs, take your complaints up with them
Bro, you need to stake a step back and take a few breaths.
No we don’t, because your context is incompatible with reality.
A filesystem is just a way to format data.
A filesystem framework is a way to create/manage a format of data.
Neither have anything to do with Web Development.
The first sentence on their docs explicitly say:
The node:fs module enables interacting with the file system in a way modeled on standard POSIX functions.It’s not a file system, it’s a module for interacting with a file system.
Same thing with Laravel:
An abstraction (like everything else in laravel), not a file system.
If that still doesn’t convince you that Node and Laravel are not file systems or file system frameworks, consider the fact that Node also has a module called OS and Laravel has a module called database. Is node an operating system? Is Laravel a database?
Please be polite, lest you risk self-burn ironies such as these:
You need to calm down
Maybe find a place where you’re appreciated
Maybe you should heed your own advice. If you’re an ameteur, dont argue with experts. The experts are only correcting you so they can help you. They need to understand what you want below the garbled mess of tech words, otherwise you’ll just get random advice that won’t work for you. You don’t go to the mechanic either and say “I need an asphalt on my car.” That is what you’re saying right now because you spend 5 seconds somewhere seeing the word “asphalt” when reading the docs about a wheel, completely ignoring everything around that word that said “the wheel is the part of the car touching the asphalt”
If you want advice, don’t sound like a self-righteous bastard when it is offered or people are trying to understand what you mean.
You know what, you’re absolutely right. You should keep your advice to yourself and go find a productive discussion to have elsewhere.
Honestly, that was a perfectly reasonable question and you’re being rude. Pretty much every programmer knows what a filesystem is but a filesystem framework is not clear.
I would have pitched in with questions and suggestions but since you’re being a dick I won’t.
I don’t think what you asked made sense either. I initially thought you were going to ask a question about different file explorers because thats a relatively common topic, but what you asked made no sense.
Try reading the post and you will see it’s about finding a filesystem tool used in web development such as Laravel or NodejsFS. There is no ambiguity here, this isnt about thumb drives or operating systems.
That’s a dumb reply. If you count fs from nodejs then you can literally Google “how to [read/write/stream] file in [pretty much any language”.
