Syntax

Arcane.filesystem

Member kind

Namespace

Description

Native filesystem selection operations.

Overview

Arcane.filesystem owns native directory selection. It returns a host-reviewed selection rather than granting arbitrary path traversal or a general-purpose filesystem API. The optional picker argument must be a non-array object.

Availability and security

Directory selection requires filesystem.directory.select. The native picker, host sandbox, and application policy remain authoritative for what can be selected and what later operations may do with the returned path.

Example

const access = await globalThis.Arcane.capabilities.list();
const canSelectDirectory = access.methods.includes('filesystem.directory.select');

console.log('Directory picker admitted:', canSelectDirectory);

Members

• Arcane.filesystem.selectDirectory() — Opens the native directory picker after a user action. It returns one canonical existing directory or explicit cancellation; it does not enumerate or grant access to directory contents. Requires filesystem.directory.select.
