ESP8266 NodeMCV1 LittleFS workflow?

Development Platforms
2
  1. issue at support littlefs for upcoming esp8266 arduino core release · Issue #173 · platformio/platform-espressif8266 · GitHub exists
  2. How to define LittleFS partition, build image and flash it on ESP32? - #20 by maxgerhardt has info on adding scripts for adding LittleFS support for ESP32 and ESP8266
  3. official integration into GitHub - platformio/platform-espressif8266: Espressif 8266: development platform for PlatformIO should be awaited. @valeros, the current platform-espressif8266 has the 2.7.1 Arduino core release, but does it already move everything to LittleFS instead of SPIFFS (mkspiffs → mklittlefs)? Is the default file system already LittleFS in Arduino-ESP8266?
