yarn start:api

The local file server will serve files from the repository directory. To change the directory pass it as the first argument.

npm run start:api /path/to/files/directory
# or
yarn start:api /path/to/files/directory

Run your own file server

The app expects the API to have 1 main endpoint and a static file server.

• /api should return with the signature bellow
• every other route should serve static files

The app will use the paths returned by the /api route to download the pages of a selected manga and/or chapter. For example: If you choose to download "Chapter 1" from "Example Manga" it will download the first page from /Example Manga/Chapter 1/01.jpg

Expected /api response interface

interface ApiResponse {
  // An array of mangas
  data: Array<{
    name: string;
    // Path of to the manga e.g. "Example Manga"
    fullPath: string;
    // An array of chapters
    files: Array<{
      name: string;
      // Path including the manga path e.g. "Example Manga/Chapter 1"
      fullPath: string;
      // An array of pages
      files: string[];
    }>;
  }>;
}
