Looks like you got some good advice about being a contributor/committer. As for the file system/storage issue. The FlexJS Storage project seems like a good place for all of storage/repository/file system functions to go. We can give them different package names within the project, too, of course.
The key is providing functionality across the platforms which are: the browser, the Flash Player, Cordova, and Air. From an application developer's point of view, they should have a generic way to access storage that works on all the platform, or at least, does not crash on any particular platform if the platform does not support the feature. For example, if you want to make the device's file system available, that's really only available when run in Air and on mobile using Cordova; the browser environment prevents direct access to the underlying file system for security reasons. In this case, any file system classes or functions should compile for browser and Flash Player, even if they won't do anything (e.g., saving a file). Here's an example: The HTML <input> element provides the UI for selecting a file to upload. That needs to have Flash Player, equivalence (FileReference API), Air has a richer API for this, and I believe Cordova does as well. But the FlexJS class(es) that a developer would use should be generic: <js:FileSelector fileSelected="handleSelection()" /> or something like that. I hope that helps. —peter On 5/25/17, 1:42 AM, "PKumar" <prashaku...@gmail.com> wrote: >Peter, > >If u can give me few pointers then I am willing to work on this. > >One more point, right now I am not a flexjs contributer.
