# *httpdirectory*'s readme

This project is in an early stage of development.

## Description

This library provides a convenient way to scrape directory indexes
and get a structure that abstracts it. For instance one may have
the following website:

![Directory of cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/ website](cloud_debian.png)

The library will insert in an `HttpDirectory` structure all the
information that is to say, name, link, size and date of files
or directories. Printing it will produce the following output:

```text
https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/
DIR      -                    ..
DIR      -  2024-07-01 23:19  OpenStack/
DIR      -  2025-04-28 21:33  bookworm-backports/
DIR      -  2025-04-28 20:53  bookworm/
DIR      -  2025-05-12 23:57  bullseye-backports/
DIR      -  2025-05-12 23:22  bullseye/
DIR      -  2024-07-03 21:46  buster-backports/
DIR      -  2024-07-03 21:46  buster/
DIR      -  2024-04-01 14:20  sid/
DIR      -  2019-07-18 10:40  stretch-backports/
DIR      -  2019-07-18 10:40  stretch/
DIR      -  2023-07-25 07:43  trixie/
```

## Usage

First obtain a directory from an url using `HttpDirectory::new(url)`
method, then you can use `dirs()`, `files()`, `parent_directory()` or
`filter_by_name()` to get respectively all directories, all files, the
parent_directory or filtering by the name (with a Regex) of this
`HttpDirectory` listing entries:

```rust
  use httpdirectory::httpdirectory::HttpDirectory;
  async fn first_example() {
    if let Ok(httpdir) = HttpDirectory::new("https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/").await {
        println!("{:?}", httpdir.dirs());
    }
  }
```
