This is a Bespin plugin that allows multiple file sources to be accessible by Bespin. What I wanted to be able to do is to mount a local fileserver from a remote Bespin installation so I can access local files.
This plugin only works on the very latest Bespin client (v0.8).
To configure the Bespin client to use this plugin, you’ll need to build a customized version of BespinEmbedded so you can make the composite_filesource plugin the primary file source for Bespin.
You can find more information about how to build a customized version of BespinEmbedded here:
bespin.mozillalabs.com/docs/embedding/building.html
Here’s what my build manifest looks like:
{
"output_dir" : "../../public/bespin",
"plugins" : [
"embedded",
"syntax_manager",
"bespin_server",
"file_commands",
"uicommands",
"javascript",
"html",
"composite_filesource"
],
"dynamic_plugins" : [],
"search_path" : ["../plugins"],
"config": {
"objects": {
"filesource": {
"factory" : "composite_filesource",
"arguments" : [ "initialSource" ],
"objects" : { "0": "bespin_filesource" }
},
"bespin_filesource": {
"factory" : "bespin_filesource",
"arguments" : [ "server" ],
"objects" : { "0": "server" }
}
}
}
}
In my case, I have the composite_filesource plugin in a plugins directory located at the same directory level of my BespinEmbedded installation directory. You’ll also want to tweak the output_dir to point to where you want the output files to go.
Once configured, you can run the mount command in the command line to add a new file source:
mount localhost:8888
The file server will need to support the same functions as the default Bespin file source. In addition, it will also have to support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. You can get the file server I built here (Ruby-based):
