webdav-js

webdav-js

A simple way to administer a WebDAV filesystem from your browser.

The original aim for this project was to provide a bookmarklet for use when you want to administer a WebDAV server, without the need for using a third party application.

The application has since been rewritten to not rely on jQuery and use more modern methods and provide a single runtime file. Now that there's more separation between the interface code and the library code, I'd like to investigate using other frontend approaches to see which I prefer (and also to weigh up the differences between the currently available frameworks). There's still work to do around code separation and hopefully this will be something I can continue to work on (as time allows) I feel it's at least as stable as the previous version.

Features

• Browse, upload, download, rename, delete entries and create directories.
• File preview for image, video, audio, font, text, PDF files.
• Basic keyboard navigation.
• A (very) simple gallery browser for preview-able files.

Localisation

Currently, the library contains text translated to English, German and Portuguese. If you use this and would like it to be localised to your language please submit a PR including the translation (using en.json as a template) and adding the language in UI.js.

Tested in:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge

Implementations

Bookmarklet:

javascript:["https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/dom111/webdav-js/assets/css/style-min.css","https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/dom111/webdav-js/src/webdav-min.js"].forEach((function(e,s){/css$/.test(e)?((s=document.createElement("link")).href=e,s.rel="stylesheet"):(s=document.createElement("script")).src=e,document.head.appendChild(s)}));

Apache:

There is also an example for how you could set up Apache in the examples/ directory (one using a locally hosted version of the library, and one using a CDN).

Think you have another example implementation that would be good to showcase? Fork this repository and make a PR!

Test the library

Included in the package is a docker-compose.yml file that can spawn an Alpine Linux Apache WebDAV server that uses the example Apache configuration so you can see the library in action if you don't have a WebDAV server at your disposal.

To start it, run:

docker-compose up

and navigate to http://localhost:8080/.

Contributing

Localisation would be a great start if you'd like to help!
