# Media Library Synchronizer

Console application for media library serialization data synchronization. 

## Why?

What if I want to modify serialized media library items but I don't have Sitecore instance?

I cannot. Out of the box I am only able to attach media to the Sitecore item and then update serialization file via Sitecore.

This case can be easily covered by MediaLibrarySynchronizer.   

## How it works?

Serialization data will be modified or created depending on config file. Application acts like a Sitecore but the power of MediaLibrarySynchronizer is that it doesn't require IIS and SQL. All you need is just a one exe file with few dlls.

Application will scan source folder and then recreate whole structure using Sitecore items, serialized into **.item* files, so you can easily update tree in Sitecore, to fetch media into database later.         

## Features

* serialization without Sitecore instance

* file system to serialization data synchronization

* can be used like Sitecore *upload* folder, but due to its most important job I would call it *serialize* instead, because it operates with **.items* not a database

## How use it?

**1**  Download MediaLibrarySynchronizer and build it

**2**  Copy *config.json.example* file and change the name to *config.json*

**3**  Update json file with your environment configuration

**SerializationManagerConfig**      

```json

    "SerializationManagerConfig": {

        "CurrentUser": "sitecore/admin",

        "DefaultVersion": {

            "Language": "en",

            "Version": "1"

        }

    },

```

CurrentUser - *Updated serialization items will be updated with a given user,*

DefaultVersion - *Updated serialization items will be updated with a given default version*

**SynchronizationConfig**   

Synchronization configurations table. 

```json

    "SynchronizationConfig": [

        {

            "SourcePath": "C:/REPOSITORIES/Example/UI/themes/theme1",

            "Destination": {

                "DataFolder": "C:/WWW/Example/Data",

                "Database": "master",

                "SitecorePath": "sitecore/media library/themes/theme1"

            }

        }

    ]

```

SourcePath - *folder location where source media files are located (regular files),*

DataFolder - *Sitecore data folder where serialization node exists,*

Database - *destination database for serialization items,*

SitecorePath - *destination location in media library*
