## Description

This PHP application based on Laravel 5.4 allows to share files like Wetransfer. You may install it **on your own server**. It **does not require** any database system, it works with JSON files in the storage folder. It is **multilingual** and comes with english and french translations for now. You're welcome to help.

It comes with a droplet (based on Dropzone.js). You may drag and drop some files or directories into the droplet, your files will be uploaded to the server as a bundle.

The bundle is a various number of files between 1 and infinite (based on your configuration).
The bundle has a 2 weeks expiry date after the creation of the bundle. This value is not editable yet, this is a todo.

This application provides three links per upload bundle :
- a bundle preview link : you can send this link to your recipients who will see the bundle content. For example: http://yourdomain/bundle/dda2d646b6746b96ea9b?auth=965242. The recipient can see all the files of the bundle, can download one given file only or the entire bundle.
- a bundle download link : you can send this link yo your recipients who will download all the files of the bundle at once. For example: http://yourdomain/bundle/dda2d646b6746b96ea9b/download?auth=965242.
- a deletion link : for you only, it invalidates the bundle. For example:
http://yourdomain/bundle/dda2d646b6746b96ea9b/delete?auth=ace6f22f5.

Each of these links come with a auth code. This code is the same for the preview and the download links. It is however different for the deletion link.

The application also comes with a Laravel Command (background task) who will physically removed expired bundle files of the storage disk. This command is included in Laravel scheduled commands.

*Sorry about the design, I know it's ugly*. You're welcome to help and participate.

## Requirements

Basically, nothing more than Laravel itself:
- PHP >= 5.6.4
- OpenSSL PHP Extension
- PDO PHP Extension
- Mbstring PHP Extension
- Tokenizer PHP Extension
- XML PHP Extension
- JSON PHP Extension

The application also uses:
- http://www.dropzonejs.com/
- http://jquery.com/
- https://clipboardjs.com/

## Installation

- configure your domain name. For example: files.yourdomain.com
- clone the repo or download the sources into the webroot folder
- configuration your webserver to point your domain name to the public/ folder
- run a `composer install`
- run a `npm install --production`
- start the Laravel scheduler (it will delete expired bundles of the storage). For example `* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1`

Use your browser to navigate to your domain name (example: files.yourdomain.com) and **that's it**.

## Development

If your want to modify the sources, you can use the Laravel Mix features:
- configure your domain name. For example: files.yourdomain.com
- clone the repo or download the sources into the webroot folder
- configuration your webserver to point your domain name to the public/ folder
- run a `composer install`
- run a `npm install`
- run a `npm run watch` in order to recompile the assets when changed

## Roadmap

There are many ideas to come. You are welcome to **participate**.
- make the expiry date editable per bundle
- limit upload permission based on an IP address (or IP range) or by a password (or passwords)
- ability to send link to recipients
- add unit testing
