## Installation

> ⚠️ Note that the package makes use of experimental node features and requires Node >= 18.

### Standalone

Clone this repo and run the following to install dependencies and compile:

```bash
yarn start
yarn build
```

Run using `yarn start`. Alternatively you can start using node directly:

```bash
node --experimental-wasm-modules --experimental-import-meta-resolve lib
```

### NPM Package

Filexplorer can be installed as an NPM package,
which is useful if you plan to embed it or develop a plugin.

```bash
npm i filexplorer --save
# or
yarn add filexplorer
```

The package also includes a CLI which can be used for impromptu serving:

Note the CLI does not load the `appListing`, `upload`, or `scratchpad` plugins by default.

```
λ fe help
  Usage: fe [options] [command]
  
  Commands:
    help     Display help
  
  Options:
    -H, --help            Output usage information
    -h, --hostname        The host address to bind to
    -P, --plugins         The plugins to load, comma separated list
    -p, --port            The port to bind to
    -s, --serveDirectory  The path to the directory on disk to serve
```

### Docker

A docker image is available and can be run like so:

```bash
docker run \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  -v config.corn:/opt/filexplorer/config.corn \ # Passing a config is optional
  -v data.db:/data.db \ # necessary to persist plugin data
  -v path/to/files:/srv/http \
  jakestanger/filexplorer
```

## Configuration

The app works out of the box without any configuration,
and by default all plugins are enabled.

To override the default configuration,
create a `config` file using one of the following supported formats:

- `config.js`, `config.mjs`, `config.cjs`
- `config.json`
- `config.yaml`, `config.yml`
- `config.toml`
- `config.corn` (useful for environment variables! see [here](https://github.com/jakestanger/corn#writing-corn))

Plugins may provide their own configuration options,
which are namespaced under the plugin name.
For example, the `showHidden` option for the `directoryListing` plugin
should be set at `directoryListing.showHidden`.

The following environment variables are also respected and will override the configuration file:

- `HOSTNAME`
- `PORT`
- `SERVE_DIRECTORY`
- `DATABASE_PATH`

### Example

An example config file in yaml is shown below,
overriding the port, serve directory and `directoryListing` plugin options.

```yaml
port: 5202
serveDirectory: '/srv/http/public'

directoryListing:
  showHidden = true
  relativeDates = false
```

## Included plugins

The following plugins are

### `raw`

> ⚠ This plugin must be loaded **after** any other file handling plugins

Serves files statically without the web interface, letting the browser handle them.

If a file's type cannot be determined, the plugin will test if is a text file and force-serve it as one.

*This plugin provides no configuration options.*

### `appListing`

> App URL: `/_/`

Shows a list of available app plugins with the ability to navigate to each one.

*This plugin provides no configuration options.*

### `upload`

> App URL: `/_/upload`

Provides the ability to upload files. This can be done programmatically or via the web interface.
Files are automatically given random names according to a chosen scheme.

For example to upload using `cURL`:

```bash
curl -F "file=@Pictures/Cake.png" -H "Authorization: 1234" http://localhost:5000
```

![Upload plugin web interface](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JakeStanger/filexplorer/main/.github/images/upload.png)

| Name            | Type                                                | Default | Description                                                                       |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `maxFileSize`   | number                                              | `null`  | Maximum allowed file size                                                         |
| `authorization` | string                                              | `null`  | Expected HTTP `Authorization` header value. Leave blank to disable authorization. |
| `path`          | string                                              | `/`     | Path relative to served root to upload files to.                                  |
| `nameScheme`    | `hex \| uuid \| cuid \| adjective-adjective-animal` | `hex`   | Naming scheme to use for generating random names for uploaded files.              |

### `scratchpad`

> App URL: `/_/scratch`

Provides a live scratchpad which can be used for quickly sharing text.
Any client with the same URL will see the same content and will see changes apply near-instantly.

There are controls for instantly copying the scratchpad contents and URL.

![Scratchpad plugin, including interface breadcrumbs, showing text in the pad](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JakeStanger/filexplorer/main/.github/images/scratchpad.png)

*This plugin provides no configuration options.*

### Use as a library

> ⚠ This is very experimental still. Any issues discussing bugs/improvements are very welcome.

```ts
import { App } from 'filexplorer/lib/App.js';

// the promise will not resolve until the server receives a shutdown signal
// you can optionally pass a config
await App.init({ port: 5678 })

// close the server once you're done with it
App.server.close();
```

### Developing plugins

> ⚠ This is very experimental still. Any issues discussing bugs/improvements are very welcome.

Plugins can be loaded from inside this codebase or as a standalone npm package.

A very basic example plugin is shown below:

```ts
import {
  InitEvent,
  MiddlewarePlugin,
  PluginManager,
} from '../../pluginManager.js';

interface IExampleConfig {
  // put your plugin config options here
  greeting: string;
}

// init hooks are called just before the web server starts
// and are useful for configuring any required modules based on the app config
const init: InitEvent<'example', IExampleConfig> = async ({ config }) => {
  // do init things!
  console.log(config.example.greeting ?? 'hello', 'world');
};

// middleware can be used for handling files/directories
// this is just express.js middleware under the hood
const exampleMiddeware: MiddlewarePlugin<'example', IExampleConfig> = async ({
                                                                               req,
                                                                               res,
                                                                               next
                                                                             }) => {
  res.send('hello from example');
};

// other available features for plugins:
// - `withAppMiddleware`: register middleware on a specific route to create an app
// - `withSocketIO`: passes a socket to a callback when the socket connects
// - `withDatabaseTable`: Ensures a database table exists with the provided schema
PluginManager.register('example').onInit(init).withMiddleware(markdown);
```

Your plugin can be loaded by adding it to the `plugins` config option. More information on this below:

#### Embedded

Create a new folder in `src/plugins` that matches your plugin name.
This folder *must* contain an `index.ts` (or `.js` or `.mts` or `.mjs`) file.

Handlebars templates should be placed in the `resources/plugins` folder in the root of this repo.

To load an embedded plugin, add the plugin directory name to `plugins` config option.

#### Separate package

Create a new package. If necessary add `filexplorer` as a dev/peer dependency for development.
Ensure your package has a `main` entrypoint set in the `package.json`.

Handlebars templates should be placed in the `resources/plugins` folder in the root of your package.

To load separate-package plugins, add the plugin package name to the `plugins` config option.

### Theming

The app makes use of modern CSS features like custom properties to make theming as easy as possible.
To make global CSS changes, apply these in `public/index.css`.
For plugin-specific changes, these should be placed in the appropriate `head.hbs` template.
