Requesting a file from another application
==========================================
Downloading a file from fargo is easy:
- Open http://fargo/?pick=http://yoursite/pick-a-file/ in a popup or iframe
- When the user choose a file it is returned to
http://yoursite/pick-a-file/?url=http://fargo/remote-download/name-of-the-file?token=xxxxxx
Your view on this URL should download the file from the given URL, do
something with it then close the popup/iframe.
Download URL are only valid during 60 seconds after the request will return
status 403. If the file has been removed a 404 is returned.
Displaying the list of files of a user
======================================
There are two methods JSONP and JSON, both are totally insecure, protect
them with your web server and IP limitations for now.
JSONP
-----
* Add this to your page
<script>function callback(data) {
// display the file list by modifying the DOM
}</script>
<script src="http://fargo/jsonp/?callback=callback"></script>
* data is structured like this:
[ { 'url': 'http://fargo/download/etc..', 'filename': 'facture.pdf'}, ... ]
JSON
----
* Do a get on http://fargo/json/?username=john.doe
Showing an upload form
======================
You can open an upload form to fargo by creating a popup or an iframe with
location http://fargo/upload/. You can pass a parameter ?next=http://yoursite/
if you want the user to come back to your site after the upload, to close the
popup or the destroy the iframe.
Code Style
==========
black is used to format the Python code, using thoses parameters:
black --target-version py37 --skip-string-normalization --line-length 110
There is .pre-commit-config.yaml to use pre-commit to automatically run black
before commits. (execute `pre-commit install` to install the git hook.)
