@isobel/dropbox

Enables Isobel to use Dropbox for reading/writing cache data.

Implementing Dropbox caching

To implement Dropbox, run yarn add @isobel/dropbox in your project directory, and then import it in your project like this...

const ISOBEL = require("@isobel/core");
const dropbox = require("@isobel/dropbox");

const Isobel = new ISOBEL({
  cache: dropbox,
  services: [] // your list of services here
});

Isobel.start().catch(error => {
  console.error("Error:", error);
  process.exit(1);
});

Getting your Dropbox tokens

In order to connect Isobel with your Dropbox account, you will need to generate the correct API tokens. Here are the steps to achieve this.

1. Create a new app at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps
2. Choose App Folder, name it "Isobel"
3. Copy the App Key, App Secret and 0Auth Access Token. Store them in your .env file using the correct keys (see below in 'Expected env vars')

Expected env vars

Ensure these keys exist in your .env file, in order for Isobel to work with Dropbox.

• DROPBOX_KEY
• DROPBOX_SECRET
• DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN
