Persistent Disk

Registration

To register a persistent disk for your service, add the below code into the omnia.service.ts file

.requestPersistentDisk({
    uniqueId: '...' //generate a unique guid here
})

To use this persistent disk for local developing, add the below settings under OmniaAppSettings inside your appsettings.local.json file

"PersistentDiskResources": {
    "put-the-same-unique-guid-here": {
        "Path": "C:\\Whatever\\Path\\Local"
    }
}

You might want to update .gitignore or use a external path outside your git repo so the local files won't be commited to the source code.

Usage

//inject the settings
IOptionsMonitor<OmniaAppSettings> OmniaAppSettings;


//then get the persistent disk path
var persistentDiskPath = OmniaAppSettings.CurrentValue.PersistentDiskResources["guid id"].Path;


//********************************************
// You should share a single persistent disk to different features within a service 
// by creating a root folder for each feature 
// instead of registering multiple persistent disks.
//********************************************

//E.g. 
var featureA_PersistentDiskPath = Path.Combine(persistentDiskPath, "featureA");

await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(featureA_PersistentDiskPath + "doc1.txt", null);
await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(featureA_PersistentDiskPath + "doc2.txt", null);

var featureB_PersistentDiskPath = Path.Combine(persistentDiskPath, "featureB");

await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(featureB_PersistentDiskPath + "img1.png", null);
await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(featureB_PersistentDiskPath + "img2.png", null);
