# nodejs-fm

![Node.js CI](https://github.com/chrisvrose/nodejs-fm/workflows/Node.js%20CI/badge.svg)

A simple file manager for managing files on a remote fs using Node.

![Sample Image](https://github.com/chrisvrose/chrisvrose.github.io/raw/gh-pages/static/projects/screenshots/nodejs-fm.png)

Dependencies: `express` `body-parser` `@fortawesome/fontawesome-free`  `jquery` `connect-busboy`,`morgan`
Dependencies(testing): `chai` `mocha` `chai-http`

### Why

Personal requirement.
Because of this, only renaming/moving(only in same fs, due to `fs.rename()`) is available, and uploading/downloading.
No authentication, as it is based on a small local server, and the major way of accessing it, is ssh.

## Usage

Use `settings.json` and point it to a valid path, and select a required port. Default `8080`. Refer [how to use settings.json](#using-settingsjson).

*_Travis only checks the backend, which is a separate entity._*

For running it:

```bash
# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/chrisvrose/nodejs-fm.git
# Move into repo folder
cd nodejs-fm/
# Setup the project
npm i
# Your own config, start with settings.json
#...
# Start the server
npm start

# Tests
npm test
```

### Using settings.json

You need to have a `settings.json` in the project directory. A sample has been provided for usage.

|Key       |Type     |Default    |Desc                    |
|:---------|:-------:|----------:|:-----------------------|
|dirname   |`string` |`./sandbox`|Directory to serve      |
|showHidden|`boolean`|false      |Show hidden files       |
|port      |`number` |8080       |Webserver listening port|



### Server requests

Requests:

```json
{
    "loc": "<valid location>"
}
```

            "path":"<location>",
            "isDir": "true|false"
