#Tecnopolis Dropbox Image Server (TecnoBox)

The server syncs a Public DropBox folder searching for image files. A scheduled job will run every 15 minutes to trigger the sync. You can also run it manually (keep reading).

Installation

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run the server:

node server

Default port is 8080

Configuration

• Create an App in https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps
• Go to the App profile
• Obtain the App key and App secret
• Generate an App Token by clicking the "Generate" button under the Generated access token header

Then set the following ENV variables:

DBOXKEY=App Key
DBOXSECRET=App Secret
DBOXTOKEN=App Token

If this configuration is missing, the script won't start!

## Pictures filename Pictures can be JPG, JPEG and PNG extension only. The filename is composed of: category_region_timestamp.extension The only important field here is the category.

Models

Picture

{
  path: String,     //Unique relative path to /Public folder
  name: String,     //Name of the file
  userId: String,   //DropBox userId associated
                    //with the App configuration account
  url: String,      //public link to this picture
  category: String, //category name
  date: Date        //DropBox file updated date
}

The userId is useful for deleting massive invalid pictures from the mongo console. The query process would be something like:

show databases
use tecnobox-dev
db.pictures.remove({userId: '891231'})

Routes

GET /Sync - Sync DropBox with Database

Triggers a sync, the response will be 200 if everything is OK or 300 if something failed. If a category is not specified in the original image filename, it defaults to "unknown". A safety check is present: You can't trigger the sync if the last one was less than 5 minutes ago. Before sync starts, each saved picture existence will be verified.
