## Quick Start

### Core Usage

```typescript
import createDropboxSyncClient from 'dropbox-sync'

// Create a Dropbox sync client
const dropboxSync = createDropboxSyncClient({
    clientId: 'YOUR_DROPBOX_APP_KEY',
    clientSecret: 'YOUR_DROPBOX_APP_SECRET',
    accessToken: 'OPTIONAL_EXISTING_TOKEN',
    refreshToken: 'OPTIONAL_REFRESH_TOKEN',
})

// Start OAuth flow
const authUrl = await dropboxSync.auth.getAuthUrl(
    'http://localhost:3000/callback'
)
// Redirect the user to authUrl

// Exchange authorization code for tokens
const tokens = await dropboxSync.auth.exchangeCodeForToken(code, redirectUri)
// Save tokens.accessToken and tokens.refreshToken

// Sync files
const syncResult = await dropboxSync.sync.syncFiles({
    localDir: './public/img',
    dropboxDir: '/app-images',
})

console.log(`Uploaded ${syncResult.uploaded.length} files`)
console.log(`Downloaded ${syncResult.downloaded.length} files`)
```

    C --> E[Sync Module]
    C --> F[Socket Module]
    D --> G[Dropbox API]

```

### Data Flow

1. **Authentication Flow:**

    ```mermaid
    sequenceDiagram
        participant User
        participant App
        participant DropboxSync
        participant Dropbox

        User->>App: Initiate auth
        App->>DropboxSync: getAuthUrl()
        DropboxSync->>Dropbox: Request auth URL
        Dropbox-->>DropboxSync: Auth URL
        DropboxSync-->>App: Auth URL
        App-->>User: Redirect to auth URL
        User->>Dropbox: Authorize app
        Dropbox-->>App: Auth code (via redirect)
        App->>DropboxSync: exchangeCodeForToken(code)
        DropboxSync->>Dropbox: Exchange code for token
        Dropbox-->>DropboxSync: Access & refresh tokens
        DropboxSync-->>App: Tokens
    ```

2. **Sync Flow:**

    ```mermaid
    sequenceDiagram
        participant App
        participant DropboxSync
        participant Socket
        participant Dropbox
        participant LocalFS

        App->>DropboxSync: syncFiles(options)
        DropboxSync->>LocalFS: Scan local files
        LocalFS-->>DropboxSync: Local file list
        DropboxSync->>Dropbox: List files
        Dropbox-->>DropboxSync: Dropbox file list
        DropboxSync->>DropboxSync: Create sync queue

        loop For each file to upload
            DropboxSync->>Dropbox: Upload file
            DropboxSync->>Socket: Emit progress
            Socket-->>App: Progress update
        end

        loop For each file to download
            DropboxSync->>Dropbox: Download file
            DropboxSync->>LocalFS: Write file
            DropboxSync->>Socket: Emit progress
            Socket-->>App: Progress update
        end

        DropboxSync-->>App: Sync results
    ```

## Testing

The Dropbox Sync Module uses Jest for unit testing. Tests are organized to match the structure of the source code.

### Test Structure

```
__tests__/              # Test utilities and mocks
src/
  core/
    __tests__/          # Core module tests
      auth.spec.ts      # Authentication tests
      client.spec.ts    # Client tests
      socket.spec.ts    # Socket tests
      sync.spec.ts      # Sync tests
  adapters/
    __tests__/          # Framework adapter tests
      angular.spec.ts   # Angular adapter tests
      next.spec.ts      # Next.js adapter tests
      nuxt.spec.ts      # Nuxt adapter tests
      svelte.spec.ts    # SvelteKit adapter tests
```

### Running Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
npm test

# Run tests with coverage
npm test -- --coverage

# Run specific test file
npm test -- src/core/__tests__/auth.spec.ts

# Run tests in watch mode during development
npm test -- --watch
```

### Testing Approach

1. **Unit Tests**: Each module is tested in isolation with mocked dependencies
2. **Integration Tests**: Tests for interactions between modules
3. **Adapter Tests**: Tests for framework-specific adapters

### Mock Strategy

-   Dropbox API calls are mocked using Jest mock functions
-   File system operations are mocked to avoid touching real files
-   Socket.IO is mocked to test event emission and handling

### Test Coverage

We aim for high test coverage, especially for the core functionality:

| Module   | Coverage |
| -------- | -------- |
| Core     | >90%     |
| Auth     | >95%     |
| Sync     | >90%     |
| Socket   | >90%     |
| Adapters | >85%     |

## Framework-Specific Usage

### Next.js

```typescript
// In your component
import { useNextDropboxSync } from 'dropbox-sync'

export function DropboxComponent() {
    // Initialize client
    const dropboxSync = useNextDropboxSync({
        clientId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DROPBOX_APP_KEY,
    })

    // Connect to socket for real-time updates
    useEffect(() => {
        dropboxSync.socket.connect()
        dropboxSync.socket.on('sync:progress', handleProgress)

        return () => {
            dropboxSync.socket.disconnect()
        }
    }, [])

    // Start sync
    const handleSync = () => {
        // This will trigger the server-side sync through Socket.IO
        dropboxSync.socket.emit('dropbox:sync')
    }

    return <button onClick={handleSync}>Sync with Dropbox</button>
}

// In your API route
import { createNextDropboxApiHandlers } from 'dropbox-sync'

const handlers = createNextDropboxApiHandlers()

export async function GET(request) {
    return handlers.status()
}
```

### Nuxt.js

The Nuxt adapter leverages Nuxt's runtime config system for app settings and uses H3 (Nitro's HTTP server) utilities for handling requests and cookies. It's designed to work seamlessly with Nuxt 3's composition API and server routes.

To use this adapter in a Nuxt project, developers would:

1. Add runtime config in their nuxt.config.ts:

```typescript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
    runtimeConfig: {
        // Private keys
        dropboxAppSecret: process.env.DROPBOX_APP_SECRET,
        dropboxRedirectUri: process.env.DROPBOX_REDIRECT_URI,

        // Public keys
        public: {
            dropboxAppKey: process.env.DROPBOX_APP_KEY,
            appUrl: process.env.APP_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
        },
    },
})
```

2. Create a plugin using the example provided
3. Set up API routes using the handlers from `createNuxtApiHandlers()`

```typescript
// In your plugins/dropbox.ts
import { useNuxtDropboxSync } from 'dropbox-sync'
import { defineNuxtPlugin } from 'nuxt/app'

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  // Create the Dropbox client
  const dropboxSync = useNuxtDropboxSync()

  // Provide the client to the app
  return {
    provide: {
      dropbox: dropboxSync
    }
  }
})

// In your Vue component
<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted, onBeforeUnmount } from 'vue'

const { $dropbox } = useNuxtApp()
const syncProgress = ref(0)

// Handle progress updates
const handleProgress = (data) => {
  syncProgress.value = data.progress
}

// Connect to socket
onMounted(() => {
  $dropbox.socket.connect()
  $dropbox.socket.on('sync:progress', handleProgress)
})

// Clean up on unmount
onBeforeUnmount(() => {
  $dropbox.socket.disconnect()
})

// Start sync
const startSync = () => {
  $dropbox.socket.emit('dropbox:sync')
}
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <button @click="startSync">Sync with Dropbox</button>
    <progress :value="syncProgress" max="100"></progress>
  </div>
</template>

// In your server/api/dropbox/[...].ts
import { createNuxtApiHandlers } from 'dropbox-sync'
import { defineEventHandler } from 'h3'

// Create handlers
const handlers = createNuxtApiHandlers()

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  // Handle different endpoints
  const path = event.path || ''

  if (path.endsWith('/status')) {
    return await handlers.status(event)
  }

  if (path.endsWith('/auth')) {
    return await handlers.oauthStart(event)
  }

  if (path.endsWith('/auth/callback')) {
    return await handlers.oauthCallback(event)
  }

  if (path.endsWith('/logout')) {
    return await handlers.logout(event)
  }

  return { error: 'Not found' }
})
```

### SvelteKit

```typescript
// In your store
import { useSvelteDropboxSync } from 'dropbox-sync'
import { writable } from 'svelte/store'

// Create store
export function createDropboxStore() {
    const dropboxSync = useSvelteDropboxSync({
        clientId: import.meta.env.VITE_DROPBOX_APP_KEY,
    })

    const progress = writable(0)

    // Set up socket listeners
    dropboxSync.socket.connect()
    dropboxSync.socket.on('sync:progress', (data) => {
        progress.set(data.progress)
    })

    return {
        progress: { subscribe: progress.subscribe },
        startSync: () => {
            dropboxSync.socket.emit('dropbox:sync')
        },
    }
}
```

### Angular

```typescript
// In your service
import { DropboxSyncService, getCredentialsFromEnvironment } from 'dropbox-sync'
import { environment } from '../environments/environment'

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class DropboxService {
    constructor(private dropboxSyncService: DropboxSyncService) {
        // Initialize the service
        this.dropboxSyncService.initialize(
            getCredentialsFromEnvironment(environment)
        )

        // Listen for socket events
        const socketEvents = this.dropboxSyncService.setupSocketListeners()
        socketEvents.subscribe((event) => console.log(event))
    }

    startSync() {
        return this.dropboxSyncService.startSync()
    }
}
```
