Project Overview

This project is a web-based Profile Editor application that allows users to manage .a7p files. It uses a Docker-based Go application for the server-side logic, a JavaScript file for the client-side logic, and an HTML file for the user interface. The application provides functionalities for listing, retrieving, creating, and deleting .a7p files.

Here is a diagram of the project structure:

How to Build the Project

To build the project, you need to have Docker installed on your machine. Once Docker is installed, you can use the Makefile to build the Docker image of the Go application. The Makefile includes a build target that builds the Docker image. You can build the Docker image by running the following command in the terminal:

make build

This command builds the Docker image and tags it as go-server.

How to Run the Project

To run the project, you can use the Makefile to run the Docker container from the go-server image. The Makefile includes a run target that runs the Docker container. You can run the Docker container by running the following command in the terminal:

make run

This command runs the Docker container in an interactive terminal mode and uses the host network. It also mounts the data directory from the current working directory on the host to the /data directory inside the container. This data directory contains .a7p files that the user can interact with.

Dockerfile

The Dockerfile is part of a multi-stage build process that creates an application using Golang, Protobuf, Node.js, and Java. It compiles protobuf files, builds a Go application, and generates JavaScript workers using shadow-cljs. The final executable image is based on Ubuntu.

Makefile

The Makefile is a build automation tool that aids in managing and maintaining the Docker-based Go application. It defines two primary targets: build and run, which are designed to streamline the process of building and running the application. The data directory, which contains .a7p files that the user can interact with, is mounted from the current working directory on the host to the /data directory inside the container.

main.go

The main.go file is the main entry point for a Go application that serves as a local server for handling and managing .a7p files. The application provides functionalities for listing, retrieving, creating, and deleting these files. It uses Google's Protocol Buffers (protobuf) for data serialization and deserialization.

main.js

The main.js file is a client-side JavaScript script that interfaces with the server-side Go application for the management of .a7p files. It furnishes a user interface that allows for the listing, retrieval, creation, and deletion of these files. Additionally, it employs Web Workers to facilitate the transformation of data between its raw form (a direct translation from protobuf) and the in-editor format that users interact with.

index.html

The index.html file serves as the main HTML document for a web-based Profile Editor application. It provides a user interface for managing .a7p files, allowing users to list, retrieve, create, and delete these files. It also provides an interface for viewing and editing the content of these files.
