@nephele/plugin-index

Index Nephele Plugin

A Nephele plugin to serve index files and list directory contents.

Installation

npm i -s @nephele/plugin-index

Usage

The default export is the plugin, and it's also a named export "Plugin". Instantiate this class, and give that to Nephele as a plugin.

import express from 'express';
import nepheleServer from 'nephele';
import ExampleAdapter from '@nephele/adapter-example';
import ExampleAuthenticator from '@nephele/authenticator-example';
import IndexPlugin from '@nephele/plugin-index';

const app = express();
const port = 8080;

app.use(
  '/',
  nepheleServer({
    adapter: new ExampleAdapter(),
    authenticator: new ExampleAuthenticator(),
    plugins: [
      new IndexPlugin({
        name: 'Nephele Server',
      }),
    ],
  }),
);

app.listen(port, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log(`Nephele WebDAV server listening on port ${port}`);
});

The plugin, by default, will serve the "index.html" or "index.htm" file (if it exists) when a request for the directory is made. If no such file exists, by default, the plugin will serve a directory listing page with upload/file management forms.

Options / Defaults

• name = 'Nephele Server': The name of the server reported on the directory listing pages.
• serveIndexes = true: Whether to serve "index.html" and "index.htm" files when a GET request for a directory is made.
• serveListings = true: Whether to serve directory listings when a request to a directory is made.
• showForms = true: Whether to show file management forms on directory listings.

serveListings

If the user has access to create/modify/delete files in the directory, the listing page will include forms to do those tasks (if showForms is not false).
