ASCII File Structure to ZIP Web App

Description

This web app allows users to input an ASCII file structure and generate a downloadable zip file containing the declared files and directories. Users can also specify file contents using JSON.

Features

• Parse ASCII file structure
• Generate a zip file with the declared files and directories
• Insert file contents from JSON input
• Containerized using Docker
• Deployed on AWS ECS

Usage

Run Locally

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the server:

   node server.js

4. Open index.html in your browser.

Docker

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t ascii-file-structure .

2. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -p 3000:3000 ascii-file-structure

Test Endpoint

To validate the application, use the /test endpoint which uses the test_input.json file:

1. Run the test script:

   node test_script.js

This script will call the /test endpoint, generate the zip file based on the test input, and download it as file_structure_test.zip.

Deploy on AWS ECS

1. Create an ECR repository and push the Docker image.
2. Create an ECS cluster and define a task using the Docker image.
3. Run the task on ECS and ensure the necessary IAM roles and security groups are set up.
