📦 mailru-cloud: Node.js Library for Mail.ru Cloud Storage via WebDAV API

mailru-cloud is a lightweight Node.js library that simplifies working with Mail.ru Cloud storage using the WebDAV API. It provides an easy-to-use interface for uploading, downloading, managing files, and organizing folders in your Mail.ru Cloud account.

✨ Features

• File Management: Upload, download, move, copy, delete, and search for files effortlessly.
• Folder Operations: Create, list, and delete directories with ease.
• Secure Authentication: Supports application-specific passwords for enhanced security.
• Stream-based Data Handling: Handles large files efficiently by utilizing streams.

🔑 How to Generate an Application Password

Before using the library, you'll need to generate an application-specific password for Mail.ru Cloud. Here's how:

1. Go to your Mail.ru Account Security Settings.
2. Click "Пароли для внешних приложений" ("Passwords for external applications").
3. Add a descriptive name (e.g., "WebDAV Cloud").
4. Select "Полный доступ к Облаку (WebDAV)" ("Full access to Cloud (WebDAV)") for permission.
5. Copy the generated password—it will only appear once!
6. Use this password in your code.

🚀 Getting Started

Install the package using npm or yarn:

npm install mailru-cloud
# or
yarn add mailru-cloud

Import the library and initialize the client using MailRuCloud:

import { MailRuCloud } from 'mailru-cloud'

const cloud = new MailRuCloud({
  username: '[e-mail]', // Full email address
  password: 'your_application_password', // Generated password
})

📥 Uploading Files

Use the upload method to upload files to your Mail.ru Cloud:

import { createReadStream } from 'fs'

await cloud.file.upload(
  createReadStream('./local_file.txt'),
  '/cloud_directory/file.txt'
)

📤 Downloading Files

Download files from Mail.ru Cloud using the download method:

import { createWriteStream } from 'fs'

const fileStream = await cloud.file.download('/cloud_directory/file.txt')
fileStream.pipe(createWriteStream('./downloaded_file.txt'))

🎯 Finding Files

The find method allows you to search for specific files based on their names, ETags, or other criteria. Both filename and etag parameters are optional, allowing flexible searches based on one or both criteria. Here's how to use it:

const foundFile = await cloud.file.find({
  filename: 'example.txt', // Search by filename
  etag: '12345', // Optional: Search by ETag
  folderPath: '/cloud_directory/', // Specify the starting directory
  recursive: true, // Enable recursive search
  sensitive: false, // Case-insensitive search
})

console.log(foundFile) // Output the result

Parameters

• filename (optional): The name of the file you're searching for. Can be combined with etag for precise searches.
• etag (optional): An ETag for the file, which can help identify the latest version. Can be used alone or together with filename.
• folderPath (default: /): The directory where the search starts.
• recursive (default: false): Whether to perform a recursive search through subdirectories.
• sensitive (default: false): Whether the search should be case-sensitive.

📋 Managing Files

Moving Files

Move files within your Mail.ru Cloud using the move method:

await cloud.file.move('/current_path/file.txt', '/new_path/file.txt')

Copying Files

Copy files within your Mail.ru Cloud using the copy method:

await cloud.file.copy('/original_path/file.txt', '/duplicate_path/file.txt')

Deleting Files

Remove files from your Mail.ru Cloud using the remove method:

await cloud.file.remove('/path_to_delete/file.txt')

🗂️ Managing Folders

Creating Directories

Use the create method to create new directories:

await cloud.folder.create('new_folder', '/parent_directory/')

Listing Contents

List the contents of a directory using the list method:

const folderContents = await cloud.folder.list('/parent_directory/')
console.log(folderContents)

Deleting Directories

Delete directories recursively using the delete method:

await cloud.folder.delete('/parent_directory/new_folder/')

❓ Troubleshooting

If you're experiencing issues with authentication or file operations, double-check that you've correctly generated and used your application-specific password. Also ensure that the paths specified are correct and that the requested actions align with the limitations imposed by Mail.ru Cloud's WebDAV API.
