padArchiver

Tool to store pads (from url) into local directory and IPFS.

The tool is composed by different tools around the library:

• webServer
• listPadsImporter
• apiServer
• cli

All the necessary files are in the /build directory. Can be build using the 'bash build.sh' script.

1.- webServer

This is a webserver that automatically generates a web from the pads directories and files stored. To run, inside 'build' directory:

./webServer

The html template can be easily changed.

2.- listPadsImporter

This is to import all pads from the json file 'list.json'. Just need to edit the json file, for example:

{
  "repoid": "repo01",
  "pads": [
    {
      "link": "http://board.net/p/pad1",
      "dir": "Group1",
      "title": "Pad1"
    },
    {
      "link": "http://board.net/p/pad2",
      "dir": "Group1",
      "title": "Pad2"
    },
    {
      "link": "http://board.net/p/pad3",
      "dir": "Group2",
      "title": "Pad3"
    }
  ]
}

To run, inside 'build' directory:

./importFromList

3.- apiServer

This is an API to run in localhost.

Run

To run using the compiled binary:

• The Git repo needs to be initialized, and with the remote already configured.
• The IPFS daemon needs to be running:

> ipfs daemon

• Edit the file config.json to configure the desired port:

{
  "port": "3080"
}

• Execute the API server, inside the directory 'build':

> ./padArchiver-APIserver

API Routes

- GET /repos

this returns:

[
  'repo01',
  'repo02'
]

- GET /repos/{repoid}

this returns:

[
  'repo01',
  'repo01/Group1',
  'repo01/Group1/Pad1.md',
  'repo01/Group2',
  'repo01/Group2/Pad2.md',
  'repo01/Group2/Pad3.md',
  'repo02/GroupA/Pad1.md'
]

- POST /repos/{repoid}/pad

data to send:

json: {
  "link": "http://board.net/p/pad1",
  "dir": "Group1",
  "title": "Pad1"
}

this returns:

{
  "link": "http://board.net/p/pad1",
  "dir": "Group1",
  "title": "Pad1",
  "ipfsHash": "QmVyp4JSREK5syLmNRCafkZkhzC7CfvS9qYWKfvfffqK2B"
}

The IPFS hash is also added to the first line of the document, before adding the document to Git.
