Override a file in FirefoxOS/DeviceStorage
Apaprently, there is no way to directly override a file in DeviceStorage API.
So, the easiest way to override a file is to remove it, then created a new one:
/* Parameters: blob content, and file destination(string) */ function override_file(blob,file) { return new Promise(function(ok, reject) { var sdcard = navigator.getDeviceStorage('sdcard'); // Check if existing file exists request = sdcard.delete(file); // file existed request.onsuccess = function() { var request = sdcard.addNamed(blob, file); request.onsuccess = ok; request.onerror = reject }; // file was not existing, but creating a new one anyway request.onerror = function() { console.log('creating new file! file'); var request = sdcard.addNamed(blob, file); request.onsuccess = ok; request.onerror = reject; }; }); }
