Web-rsync

A simple rsync-ish implementation to sync files between node applications.

Requirements

Currently works only on Linux and Mac. The required libraries for linux are listed in postinstall.sh in scripts.

Installation

• Linux and Mac

  You can install nodejs and npm easily with apt install, just run the following commands.

  yarn add web-rsync

• Windows

  Unfortunately, currently there is no support for windows, contributors are welcome.

Usage

To scan the contents of directory use scanDir.

const { scanDir } = require("web-rsync");
const scan = scanDir("./node_modules");
console.log(scan);

And for finding actual difference you can use getFoldersDiff. It can make diff from a path and a scan made by scanDir. That is usually the way you use it:

getFoldersDiff("./prev", nextScan);

From two paths:

getFoldersDiff("./prev", "./next");

And from two scans:

getFoldersDiff(prevScan, nextScan);

Example

An example usage with express over http is in test-files/server and test-files/client.
