# XivAr
Manage your local scientific library!
**This tool is in a very early development stage.**
## Installation
First, install [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf). Then install `xivar` via
```bash
cargo install xivar
```
## Usage
`xivar` lets you search publications online at [DBLP](https://dblp.org/), and download them from a preprint server (arXiv etc.) if available. `xivar` saves the locations of downloaded publications and shows them in your next search.
Search a publication online and local
```bash
xivar search keyword1 keyword2 ...
```
Search only local
```bash
xivar local keyword1 keyword2 ...
```
Specify a maximum number of hits (default is 100)
```bash
xivar search bla bla -n 30
```
Clean your database, i.e. remove entries of publications which cannot be found at their saved location.
```bash
xivar clean
```
## Configuration
In Linux-based systems, the database is located at `~/.local/share/xivar`.
**Since this is still very much work in progress, the database may be corrupt after updating to a new version!**
You can configure the default download location via a configuration file located at `~/.config/xivar/xivar.toml` with the following content
```toml
document_dir = "absolute/path/to/directory"
```
## Roadmap
- Add pdfs manually
- Export bib-files
