Quick folder full-text search using browser local storage to index contents of a single folder
I manage hundreds of HTML books in local folders in public DropBox folders. I want a way to search the contents of these books from an index file. Here's what I have in mind:
- A basic node script to build a JSON file list from all the HTML files found in a directory (and subdirectories).
- Script also creates a basic index.html if one is not already present.
- That index.html will consume the JSON data with a simple angular app.
- An angular index.html file that formats the JSON file as a navigation list
- Angular/Jquery to load/update contents of html files into PouchDB database
- Lunr.js to provide instant full-text search of file content.
This will all be packaged into a single global Node.js module so that I can use it in any public Dropbox folder to create a web-based searchable index file with no server dependencies.
