A dropbox application (dropboxAppKey,dropboxAppSecret), and long-lived refresh-token (dropboxRefreshToken) are required.

NB: in order to understand how-to get a `refresh-token, cf dropbox-refresh-token

The old-long-lived access-token (dropboxToken) are always supported but this method is deprecated and will be removed in futur release.

@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore setup

(first time only) create a @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore config file ~/.@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore

To remove this setup

@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore unlink

NB: you could create other custom @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore config files, and choose custom @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore config file by using DBD_CONFIG_FILE env.

show actions

• @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore backup <localDirectory> [<myBackup.zip>]

Example: zip local directory ../tmp/backup/myDir then upload as dropbox backup /backup/biolo.zip

@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore backup ../tmp/backup/myDir biolo.zip

This action will success if the target dropbox already exists with the same zip file.

This action will fail if a different target dropbox already exists (use forceBackup to override it).

• @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore list
• DBD_CONFIG_FILE=./tmp/myDrobadiConfig @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore list

list remote backups

• @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore download <myBackup.zip> [<localFile.zip>]

@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore download biolo.zip

Example: download dropbox file /backup/biolo.zip as local file /tmp/ddd.zip

@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore download biolo.zip /tmp/ddd.zip

• @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore downloadAndUnzip <myBackup.zip> [</local/path>]

download a remote backup and unzip it into local directory

Example: download dropbox file /backup/biolo.zip and unzip it into local directory ./biolo

@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore downloadAndUnzip biolo.zip ./biolo

DOptions precedence: options object, or env value or config file or default value.

You have to import as dependency

npm install @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore

import {Drobadi, DOptions} from "@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore";

const dOptions = new DOptions({
    "dropboxToken": 'My dropbox token is a secret',
    "path": "from-@erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore",
    "overrideTargetBackup": true
});
let @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore = new Drobadi();

let promiseResult =  @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore.backup(dOptions, "./myData/", "dataBack.zip")

let promiseResult = @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore.list(dOptions);

let promiseResult = @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore.download(dOptions, "dataBack.zip")

var promiseResult = @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore.download(dOptions, "dataBack.zip", "/home/user/incomming/restored.zip")

var promiseResult = @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore.downloadAndUnzip(dOptions, "dataBack.zip", "/tmp/restoreHere")

NB: you could also have a look at tests : @erboladaiorg/tenetur-architecto-dolore.test.js
