receiveMeta in file protocol

[ghorbani-m]

@mehdibalouchi Can you elaborate, on what kind of information we get/put with receiveMeta?

[mehdibalouchi]

meta is one of the actions defined in the file protocol (see here). When you upload a file with the file protocol using the send action, its metadata gets stored with it. You can then retrieve a file's metadata with the file protocol using the meta action.
current structure of the metadata is:

message Meta {
  string name = 1;
  string type = 2;
  uint64 size = 3 [jstype = JS_NUMBER];
  int64 lastModified = 4 [jstype = JS_NUMBER];
  optional bytes preview = 5;
}

meta is currently implemented in fula-client and in go-fula libraries, but not in the react-native-fula
