# About
IVFi-Node is a file directory browser script made in Node and TypeScript.

It is designed to be a comprehensive indexer, with a focus on efficiently handling image and video files. IVFi has a modern and user-friendly interface, offering features such as a gallery view, hoverable previews, and many customization options.

This project can be easily set up on most web servers.


# Quick setup :zap:
### Install via npm
```shell
npm install ivfi
```

## Usage
Import (or require) package:
```js
import ivfi from 'ivfi';
```
Basic initialization example:
```js
const port = 3000;
const directory = '/var/www/html/';
const options = {};

(async () =>
{
/** Start server */
const server = await ivfi.run(port, directory, options);
})();
```
This will spin up a webserver on `http://localhost:3000/` with the path set to `/var/www/html/`.

A documentation of the available options can be found [here](https://ivfi.io/docs/node/#/configuration).

# Development

Clone the repository and install the required `npm` packages:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/sixem/ivfi-node
cd ivfi-node
npm install
```
Create a `run.ts` file with a simple initialization of the script:
```js
import ivfi from './src/index';

const port = 3000;
const directory = '/var/www/html/';

const server = ivfi(__dirname);

server.run(port, directory, {
debug: true
});
```
Build the `dist` files that are used on the client side:
```bash
npm run compile:development
```
Start the server:
```js
node --loader ts-node/esm run.ts
```
Any changes made to the client side code, will require a recompiled `dist` directory, while any changes made to the server side code will simply require a restart of the server.

# Building
To package the project:
```bash
npm run transpile:pack
```
This will create a new directory with the packaged script.
