katbox
katbox is a Kotlin multiplatform wrapper written with ktor and coroutines, for interacting with the permanent file hosting service Catbox, and its temporary file hosting service equivalent Litterbox. All public endpoints defined by Catbox and Litterbox are implemented.
Installation
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation("net.ormr.katbox:katbox:${RELEASE_VERSION}")
}
katbox does not define any ktor-client engine by itself, therefore you will need to define one yourself. Information can be found here.
Usage
katbox separates any anonymous operations from logged in operations by placing all anonymous operations in the Catbox
companion object. Therefore any functions defined there do not require a userhash.
All functions are documented properly, so only the very basics will be shown here, for further information, read the documentation on the functions.
Uploading files
All upload functions return a String, which contains the url to the uploaded file.
Anonymously
// upload raw bytes
Catbox.upload(byteArray(4, 2), "foo.bar")
// upload from an url
Catbox.upload(Url("http://i.imgur.com/aksF5Gk.jpg"))
// if on the JVM, upload via Path
Catbox.upload(Path("./foo/bar.foobar"))
// litterbox only allows anonymous uploads
// upload raw bytes
Litterbox.upload(byteArray(4, 2), "foo.bar")
// if on the JVM, upload via Path
Litterbox.upload(Path())
As user
// to upload as a user, a Catbox instance must be created
// no verification on whether the userHash is valid is done, so be careful
val catbox = Catbox(userHash = "####")
// upload raw bytes
catbox.upload(byteArray(4, 2), "foo.bar")
// upload from an url
catbox.upload(Url("http://i.imgur.com/aksF5Gk.jpg"))
// if on the JVM, upload via Path
catbox.upload(Path("./foo/bar.foobar"))
Creating an album with newly uploaded images
This example is a bit contrived, but at least serves as somewhat of a real-world example.
val catbox = Catbox(userHash = "####")
val files = Path("./foo/").listDirectoryEntries(glob = "*.png").map { catbox.upload(it) }
val myCoolAlbum = catbox.createAlbum(
title = "My Cool Images",
description = "A collection of all my cool images.",
files = files.mapTo(hashSet()) { it.substringAfterLast('/') },
)
