nodexer v1.1.62

nodexer

A directory indexer written in Node.

This is a highly customizable indexer with good support for mainly image and video files while also having most of the basic features of any other directory lister. It has a gallery mode, hoverable previews and persistent user-set settings like sorting and other small adjustments. It is also designed to have a slightly retro and simple feel to it which is why it does not use any flashy CSS or icon packs.

You can view a demo of the script here.

Please note that this is a very early version of this project, so it may contain a few bugs.

Install

NPM

npm install nodexer

Usage

Require Nodexer:

var nodexer = require('nodexer');

Basic initialization example:

var server = nodexer.run(3000, '/var/www/html/');

This will spin up a webserver on http://localhost:3000/ with the path set to /var/www/html/. Another example. This time with a windows path and a few options set:

var server = nodexer.run(3000, 'E:/Downloads', {
	authentication : {
		users: {
			'username': 'password'
		}
	},
	gallery : {
		fit_content : true
	},
	style : {
		compact : true
	}
});

This will also start a webserver on http://localhost:3000/ with the path set to E:/Downloads. In this example it'll also enable a basic authentication system and a few other options options.

A documentation of the available options can be found here.

Development

Note: The development environment utilizes ES6.

Clone the repository and install the required npm packages:

git clone https://github.com/sixem/nodexer
cd nodexer
npm install

Create a run.js file with a simple initialization of the script:

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

require('./index.js').run(port, directory, {
	debug : true
});

Then start run.js through nodemon:

npm run dev

Compile

To compile the script run:

npm run compile

Hopefully everything looks OK. This will create a lib and a dist directory with the transpiled and minified files.

To use the compiled source, edit .env and change the environment from development to production:

NODE_ENV=production

Other Projects

This is a node version of the eyy-indexer which is written in PHP, so check that project out if you want something for PHP.

As always, use this script at your own risk. There may exist bugs that i do not know of.
