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

npm install ivfi

Usage

Import package:

import ivfi from 'ivfi';

Basic initialization example:

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.

Development

Clone the repository and install the required npm packages:

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:

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:

npm run compile:development

Start the server:

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:

npm run transpile:pack

This will create a new directory with the packaged script.
