Window fĩle Watcher A react project that emulates a Desktop Environment.

This project requires an API as a layer between the DE and the (potentially emulated) file structure. This API is located at :80/api/wawAPI/

The API is called with a specific path and depending on whether the path points to a directory or a file it outputs the given directory's files or the raw binary data of the file.

In the case that it is given the path to a directory, the file structure is outputed as below:

• ##--#--#-- 12.20G file1
• -##-##-##- 4.000K file2

Where the first part is [directory][read][write][execute][read][write][execute][read][write][execute], in the order that ls -l would display the permissions and the second part is the size of the file so that the number has 4 digits and size type

This Desktop Environment is extensible, allowing applications to be developed to it, communicating to them through the backronym-ically named 'Process Individual Data' (PID) that contains the following:

{
    apptype: React Component; (representing the actual main function of the application to be ran)
    id: string; (the process's identifier within the desktop environment)
    title: string; (the title that should be used when referring to the app within the Sidebar, Decorator and potential sub-apps or super-apps)
    icon: string; (the path to the image that is to be used to refer to the app within the Sidebar)
    args: string; (the arguments that the application is able to process in a shell-like manner)
}
Roadmap:
* Application environment → Mostly implemented (missing proper application determinism)
* Sidebar → Implemented
* Desktop → Implemented
* Context menus → Implemented (currently limited to opening new applications) * File Explorer → Implemented
* Informational App → implemented
* Image Viewer → Implemented
* Video Viewer → Implemented
* Text Viewer → Implemented
* Hex Viewer → Implemented
* Shell Emulator → TBD if it will be implemented
* Browser Emulator → Implemented
* Local Files → TBD if it will be implemented
* Local States → TBD if it will be implemented
* Scope Creep → TBD when it will end
