Files Manager

Coverage Status

A simple file management API built with Express, MongoDB, Redis, Bull, and Node.js.

Requirements

Applications

  • Node.js
  • Yarn (the package manager/resource negotiator)

APIs

  • A Google API should be created with at least an email sending scope and a valid URL (e.g.; http://localhost:5000/) should be one of the redirect URIs. The credentials.json file should be stored in the root directory of this project.

Environment Variables

The required environment variables should be stored in a file named .env and each line should have the format Name=Value. The table below lists the environment variables that will be used by this server:

Name Required Description
GOOGLE_MAIL_SENDER Yes The email address of the account responsible for sending emails to users.
PORT No (Default: 5000) The port the server should listen at.
DB_HOST No (Default: localhost) The database host.
DB_PORT No (Default: 27017) The database port.
DB_DATABASE No (Default: files_manager) The database name.
FOLDER_PATH No (Default: /tmp/files_manager (Linux, Mac OS X) & %TEMP%/files_manager (Windows)) The local folder where files are saved.

Installation

  • Clone this repository and switch to the cloned repository's directory.
  • Install the packages using yarn install or npm install.

Usage

Start the Redis and MongoDB services on your system and run yarn start-server or npm run start-server.

Tests

  • Create a separate .env file for the tests named .env.test and store the value of the environment variables for the testing event in it.
  • Run yarn test or npm run test to execute the E2E tests.
