# Example: Screenshot app
This repository demonstrates some essential concept of the
[UIX](https://uix.unyt.org) framework such as
[Realm Imports](https://unyt.org/glossary#realm-import) and
[Web components](https://unyt.org/glossary#web-components) using the example of
a **website screenshot app**.
The repository includes persistent file storage and implements
[front-end](https://unyt.org/glossary#front-end).
## Installation
1. Install the **UIX command line tool** following the
[Getting Started](https://docs.unyt.org/manual/uix/getting-started#the-uix-command-line-tool)
guide in our documentation.
2. Clone this repository to your local machine:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/unyt-org/example-website-screenshot.git
```
3. Run the project local
```bash
$ uix --port 8000
```
4. Navigate to your favourite web browser and open http://localhost:8000 to see
everything in action.
## Structure
This diagram outlines the UIX default project structure. We split our code base
in [back-end](https://unyt.org/glossary#back-end),
[front-end](https://unyt.org/glossary#front-end), and commons folder.

## Features

- Exposes FileProvider on `/image/*`-route
## Preview
## Explanation
### Persistent Storage of Files
To provide a seamless experience, our screenshot app demonstrates how to
persistently store files. This means that even if the application is restarted,
previous screenshots will be stored.
### File Provider
To access files the back-end exposes a route via FileProvider to serve static
files.
