FileTree-API is a high-performance, scalable server application built with Go that provides a RESTful API for recursively traversing and listing files within a specified directory structure. Utilizing the concurrency power of Go's goroutines and optimized file system traversal strategies, this API is designed to efficiently handle large-scale file operations across multi-threaded environments. Packaged with Docker, the FileTree-API is easy to deploy and integrate into any infrastructure, offering a robust solution for applications requiring rapid access to file metadata and structure. Perfect for cloud storage services, file management systems, or any application dealing with extensive file directories.

• Secure Encryption: Uses AES encryption and signature verification to secure directory path.
• Easy Integration: Built with the Go, allowing for straightforward integration into any Go application.
• Optimized Performance:
  • Concurrent File Traversal: Utilizes Go's goroutines to traverse directories concurrently.
  • Efficient File System Operations: Implements optimized file system traversal strategies for high-performance file operations.
  • Scalable Architecture: Designed to handle large-scale file operations across multi-threaded environments.
  • Optimize JSON Marshalling: Uses jsoniter for faster JSON marshalling.
  • Support WebSockets: Supports WebSocket for real-time file system monitoring.
• Dockerized: Packaged with Docker for easy deployment and integration into any infrastructure.

1. Build the Go application

go build -o filetree-api ./cmd/server

2. Create the necessary environment variables for secure encryption: Generate FILETREE_SECRET_KEY:

   echo FILETREE_SECRET_KEY=$(xxd -g 2 -l 32 -p /dev/random | tr -d '\n')

   Generate FILETREE_SECRET_SALT:

   echo FILETREE_SECRET_SALT=$(xxd -g 2 -l 32 -p /dev/random | tr -d '\n')

   After generating these keys, make sure to set them as environment variables in your development environment or include them in your deployment configuration.

3. Set the environment variables

export FILETREE_PORT=8080
export FILETREE_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
export FILETREE_SECRET_SALT=your-secret-salt

4. Run the Go application

./filetree-api

Make a GET request to the service with a signature and an encrypted folder path to retrieve the file tree structure of the specified directory.
The signature is generated using the FILETREE_SECRET_KEY and FILETREE_SECRET_SALT environment variables.
The encrypted folder path is generated using the FILETREE_SECRET_KEY and FILETREE_SECRET_SALT environment variables.

http://your-domain.com:your-port/<signature>/enc/<encrypted_folder_path>

Several projects are built on top of or with FileTree-API to extend its capabilities and offer more features. Here's a list of such projects:

• PHP-FileTree: A PHP script for generating signed and encrypted URLs with FileTree-API, using AES-256-GCM and HMAC-SHA256.

We encourage the community to build more projects leveraging FileTree-API's powerful image processing capabilities. If you have a project that uses FileTree-API, feel free to open a pull request to add it to this list!
