This package provides Solid access to local file systems and other storage spaces. It recieves standard Solid REST requests and returns the same kind of response a Solid server sends. This means that libraries and apps can make a file:// or app:// request in the same way they make an https request without having to know anything about the backend and without needing a server on the backend.
So far, in addition to the local file system, solid-rest works in-memory (handy for testing), and with any of the dozen or so storage mechanisms supported by BrowserFS - Dropbox, browser Local Storage, browser indexedDB, browser Native File Api, and more.
The package supports plugins, so new backends may be added by supplying the storage system specific commands without having to reinvent the wheel of receiving REST requests and responding to them in a Solid manner.
Thanks to Otto-AA and CxRes for advice and patches.
