ISyncCollection

If a class extends ISyncCollection, it supports WebDAV-sync.

You are responsible for maintaining a changelist for this collection. This means that if any child nodes in this collection was created, modified or deleted in any way, you should maintain an updated changelist.

Methods

getSyncToken

This method returns the current sync-token for this collection.

public getSyncToken(): string|null

This can be any string.

If null is returned from this function, the plugin assumes there's no sync information available.


getChanges

The getChanges method returns all the changes that have happened, since the specified syncToken and the current collection.

public getChanges(string $syncToken, int $syncLevel, int $limit = null): array|null

This function should return an array, such as the following:

[ 'syncToken' => 'The current synctoken', 'added' => [ 'new.txt', ], 'modified' => [ 'modified.txt', ], 'deleted' => array( 'foo.php.bak', 'old.txt' ) ];

The syncToken property should reflect the current syncToken of the collection, as reported getSyncToken(). This is needed here too, to ensure the operation is atomic.

If the syncToken is specified as null, this is an initial sync, and all members should be reported.

The modified property is an array of nodenames that have changed since the last token.

The deleted property is an array with nodenames, that have been deleted from collection.

The second argument is basically the 'depth' of the report. If it's 1, you only have to report changes that happened only directly in immediate descendants. If it's 2, it should also include changes from the nodes below the child collections. (grandchildren)

The third (optional) argument allows a client to specify how many results should be returned at most. If the limit is not specified, it should be treated as infinite.

If the limit (infinite or not) is higher than you're willing to return, you should throw a Sabre\DAV\Exception\TooMuchMatches() exception.

If the syncToken is expired (due to data cleanup) or unknown, you must return null.

The limit is 'suggestive'. You are free to ignore it.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$syncToken string
$syncLevel int
$limit int

Inherited methods

delete

Deleted the current node.

public delete(): mixed

getName

Returns the name of the node.

public getName(): string

This is used to generate the url.


setName

Renames the node.

public setName(string $name): mixed

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string The new name

getLastModified

Returns the last modification time, as a unix timestamp. Return null if the information is not available.

public getLastModified(): int|null

createFile

Creates a new file in the directory.

public createFile(string $name, resource|string $data = null): string|null

Data will either be supplied as a stream resource, or in certain cases as a string. Keep in mind that you may have to support either.

After successful creation of the file, you may choose to return the ETag of the new file here.

The returned ETag must be surrounded by double-quotes (The quotes should be part of the actual string).

If you cannot accurately determine the ETag, you should not return it. If you don't store the file exactly as-is (you're transforming it somehow) you should also not return an ETag.

This means that if a subsequent GET to this new file does not exactly return the same contents of what was submitted here, you are strongly recommended to omit the ETag.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string Name of the file
$data resource|string Initial payload

createDirectory

Creates a new subdirectory.

public createDirectory(string $name): mixed

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string

getChild

Returns a specific child node, referenced by its name.

public getChild(string $name): \Sabre\DAV\INode

This method must throw Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotFound if the node does not exist.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string

getChildren

Returns an array with all the child nodes.

public getChildren(): \Sabre\DAV\INode[]

childExists

Checks if a child-node with the specified name exists.

public childExists(string $name): bool

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$name string
