scandigilib

A library that generates thumbnails and metadata database for a digital library

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i scandigilib

Depends on the pdf-image library so ensure you have convert, gs, and pdfinfo (part of poppler) commands. see pdf-image for installation instructions.

Usage

Scanning a whole directory.

This recursively scans the directory generating a thumbnail and metadata for each file, storing the thumbnails and a database.json(for the metadata) file in the destination directory.

var scandigilib = require('scandigilib');
 
scandigilib.scanPDFdir([path-to-src-dir], [path-to-dest-dir]);
 

Scanning a single file.

This generates a thumbnail which is stored at the destination directory and adds a single entry into the database.json file in the destination directory.

var scandigilib = require('scandigilib');
 
scandigilib.scanPDF([path-to-src-file], [path-to-dest-dir]);
 

Running tests

Install dev dependencies:

$ npm i -d && npm test
