README

A webDAV client library

This is the repository for a general webDAV client library, written in JavaScript. The main purpose is to support the built-in client for BeeHub. However, we attempt to make it follow the webDAV RFC 4918 and any contributions that help implement features of this and other webDAV standards are welcome.

API reference can be found here: http://sara-nl.github.com/js-webdav-client/

Directory structure

• ./COPYING.LESSER.txt contains the GNU LGPL
• ./LICENSE.txt contains the GNU GPL
• ./Makefile is the makefile to build the library into one single file
• ./README.md contains this text
• ./src/ contains all the source files for the basic library
• ./src/plugins/ contains directories with plugins (such as the ACL plugin)

Development

If you want to develop on the library code itself, you'll want to link to the source files from within your HTML page. You should add all needed files manually to the header with the default script tag. For example:

ipt type="text/javascript" src="/library_path/src/000_header.js"></script>

Make sure you link the source files in the same order as the Makefile will:

• Files in ./src will be included in a sorted order first. This means:
  • ./src/000_header.js should be linked first
  • ./src/001_exception.js should be linked second
  • ./src/002_iehacks.js should be linked second
  • then the other files follow
• Directories in ./src/plugins/ will be included in a sorted order next. Their files will also be included in a sorted order.

This way, the basic library will be linked before the plugins are loaded

Using the library in another script

To use the library from other scripts, create a single file containing the complete library:

 dist.js

Copy it to your webservers public folder and rename it for convenience:

ist.js /path_to_public_folder/webdavlib.js

Then link this file in your HTML file before your own scripts are linked.

ipt type="text/javascript" src="/webdavlib.js"></script>

Of course you are free to rename the dist.js file any way you like and place it anywhere in your public folder. As long as you change the script tag correspondingly.
