In order to use EMU, you need three things: an Egynte domain, a privileged Egynte account within that domain, and a valid Egnyte for Developers API key. Upon connecting to the page, an input box will prompt you for the Egnyte domain and API key. In the Egnyte domain input, you only need to provide the unique Egnyte subdomain, for instance msiworldwide instead of https://msiworldwide.egnyte.com. If the Egnyte domain and API key are valid, your browser will open a new tab with where you approve EMU's permissions. If your browser blocks pop-ups, you should disable pop-up blocking to use EMU. Once a valid domain and API key combination is provided, these values are stored in cookies, so you will not need to provide them again unless you log out of EMU or delete the cookies.
EMU uses the Egnyte JavaScript SDK to handle authentication and querying. For authentication, we use the requestTokenPopup() method to get a query token.
In app/app.module.js, you will need to set the constant emuBase to whatever base directory from which you want to compare file systems. For instance, we are using EMU to ensure that project folder structures match a template, so our emuBase value is that root directory, Shared/Projects.
After that, you should mostly be set. To add or delete subfolders from the respective file path, click the plus/minus buttons on the right side of the input. Adjust the depth of the matching using the slider. A depth of 1 matches the paths' children folders, 2 matches children and grandchildren, 3 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Depth is capped at 3 due to throttling of the Egnyte API and daily API limits, but can be increased.
After clicking "Compare", the file structures for Paths 1 and 2 are compiled, diff'd, and visually displayed.
