Home Library CLI
Introduction
Home Library CLI is a Java library providing command line interface to Home Library WebApp.
This CLI library has following features:
- Create Directory: to create a directory in the root or in a subfolder.
- List Directory: to list the content of a directory.
- Upload file: to upload a file in a directory.
- Remove files and folders: to remove a file or a directory (including subdirectories).
- Test: a simple test to check the correct behavior of the features above.
The following sections will discuss each of these commands in turn, and discuss how to use them with Home Library CLI.
Configuration File
Home Library CLI is equipped with a simple configuration file to set the parameters and initial settings.
The fields are:
- URL_REPOSITORY: the URL of Home Library WebApp.
- USERNAME: username to connect to Home Library WebApp.
- PASSWORD: password to connect to Home Library WebApp.
- LOGIN: the portal login of the user who is using the library.
- ROOT_PATH : the ROOT of the VRE folder where the files and directory will be created.
The Configuration File cannot be modified by the final user, but it allows to use the CLI in different context.
