I’ve been dissatisfied with the outdated RS browser example, so I spent some time recently to create a new RS file browser application, based on Ember.js and the latest remoteStorage.js and widget. You can give it a go right now if you’re interested:
From the README:
Inspektor is a simple file browser for inspecting the contents of a remoteStorage account. It is intended for RS app developers and power users.
Inspektor is beta software and currently under development. You’re invited to contribute and/or give feedback: Sebastian Kippe / inspektor · GitLab
Features
Connect RS accounts
Traverse/inspect directories
View document details
Render images in details
Render text content in details (e.g. JSON)
Render other types content (e.g. audio and video)
Edit text content (and save changes)
Delete documents
Delete directories
Copy/move documents
Copy/move directories (and enclosed files)
Loading indicator for any view change that loads remote data
I played around with the idea of using the widget only for the connect dialog and re-auth screen (for expired/revoked tokens). That’s why I implemented the skipInitial config option for the widget. Interested in what you think about it:
Inspektor now has a handy tree view for JSON documents, as well as some other features like being able to hide the sidebar, and deleting all docs in a folder:
I’ve just noticed that newlines in files are not being rendered. Is that something that can be improved? Perhaps a single white-space: pre; CSS rule or something similar can make this 1000% better.
Could you post an example? Newlines would usually be shown as \n, because the preview is meant to show the actual source of the file, not what a system renders from it.
