# IFileService The `IFileService` interface provides methods for handling file operations, such as downloading and uploading files within the HopFrame web application. It abstracts file-related operations to ensure a smooth and consistent user experience. ## Methods 1. **DownloadFile** - Initiates the download of a file with the given name and data. - Suitable for dynamically generating and offering files to the user, such as CSV exports or reports. ```c# Task DownloadFile(string name, byte[] data); ``` - **Parameters:** - `name`: The name of the file to be downloaded (including the extension, e.g., "example.csv"). - `data`: The byte array representing the content of the file. - **Usage Example:** Exporting table data as a CSV file for download. 2. **UploadFile** - Allows the user to upload a file through the web interface and returns the uploaded file for further processing. - This method provides integration with Blazor's `IBrowserFile` for easy file handling. ```c# Task UploadFile(); ``` - **Returns:** An `IBrowserFile` instance representing the uploaded file. - **Usage Example:** Importing data from a CSV file to populate or update a table. ## Integration The `IFileService` is commonly used in conjunction with plugins or components that require file operations, such as the Exporter Plugin, which leverages this service to enable data export and import functionality. ## Key Features - Streamlines file handling for web applications. - Simplifies both download and upload processes with minimal code. - Ensures compatibility with Blazor's file-handling capabilities. By implementing or extending the `IFileService`, developers can customize the file-handling behavior to suit specific application needs. Let me know if you'd like more examples or details!
