# Lens
A read only file explorer with media capabilities.

# Dev

To run the project you simply need to run:

```bash
make run
```

It should run using sqlite with a randon AES key. But if you don't set a
`AES_KEY` a new one will generated every time the project is realead and you
will be logged out.

You can also create a `.env` file which will be read by make to populate the
environment variables, e.g.:

```ini
# .env
DB_TYPE=psql
DB_CON=host=localhost user=admin password=admin dbname=lens port=5432
LOG_LEVEL=error
SCHEDULER_COUNT=10
CACHE_PATH=/home/myhome/.thumb
AES_KEY=X4Eu3OT/WqUtUJhGLUtQ4xRahwhWYaSs+k2a03Kz1A8=
```

To generate a new `AES_KEY` run:
```
openssl rand -rand /dev/urandom 32 | base64
```

Obs.: don't quote the value, that will be done automatically.

Throughout the development you can also run `make watch` for a hot reload
experience. It will feedback loop a bit faster.

## Build and install 

To build you simply run:

```
make
```

And a `./bin/lens` will be created.

To install run:

```
make install
```

Or you can pass a custom target folder.

```
PREFIX=~/.local/ make install
```

# Requirements

## qtc

It is used as template engine for html. To install it:

```
go install  github.com/valyala/quicktemplate/qtc@latest
```

## libvips

Libvips[^1] is required by bimp [^2] used for image manipulation.

## ffmpeg

Used to generate video thumbnail.

## sassc

Sassc[^4] is used to generate the css file from sass.

## Bulma

Bulma is the css framework of choice for this project. It is added as
sub-module, so don't forget to pull it.

# TODO 

* Demo site
* Single image viewer and show exif info (not sure how yet)
* Better UI error handling (or error handling at all).
* Log out option
* Actually handle admin
* Better pagination
* Better Testing. Since I still on initial iteration phases I'm not adding as
  many testing as I'd like to. Once I set on most of the design I'll add more
  test (is this ever done :thinking:).
