6.2. Sharing a file with another user¶

Your client application must allow users to share files (see Sharing and Revoking).

Here is an example code snippet that shows Alice sharing a file with Bob.

package main

import "github.com/cs161-staff/project2-starter-code/client"

func main() {
  aliceUsername := "user_alice"
  alice, _ := client.InitUser(aliceUsername, "password1")

  bobUsername := "user_bob"
  bob, _ := client.InitUser(bobUsername, "password2")

  aliceContent := []byte("content")

  filenameInAliceNamespace := "file1.txt"
  alice.StoreFile(filenameInAliceNamespace, aliceContent)
  invitationPtr, err := alice.CreateInvitation(filenameInAliceNamespace, bobUsername)
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }

  filenameInBobNamespace := "from_alice.txt"
  bob.AcceptInvitation(aliceUsername, invitationPtr, filenameInBobNamespace)
  bobContent, err := bob.LoadFile(filenameInBobNamespace)
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }

  // aliceContent should be equivalent to bobContent
}
