This code defines a set of functions and configurations related to interacting with an imageboard using a specific API setup (Gelbooru in this case) while adhering to any set constraints or data processing requirements.
Breakdown:
1. function completeImage(img: IImage): IImage
- This function processes or "completes" an image object (
img
) of typeIImage
to potentially fill missing or incomplete data fields. - What it does:
- Maps the image's
author
field by assigning it from theowner
property, if available (img.author = (img as any).owner;
). - Ensures the
file_url
is valid:- If
file_url
is missing or its length is less than 5 characters andpreview_url
exists:- Updates
file_url
by transformingpreview_url
using string replacements to switch paths/formats (replace("/thumbnails/", "/images/")
andreplace("/thumbnail_", "/")
).
- Updates
- If
- Returns the updated
img
object.
- Maps the image's
2. export const source
- This defines the entire configuration schema for a specific imageboard source ("Gelbooru (0.2)").
- What it does:
- Metadata:
- Defines the source name (
Gelbooru
) and supported search modifiers (modifiers
such as types of ratings, user IDs, tags, and ordering options). - Specifies tag formatting rules (e.g., all tags are lowercase, words are separated by underscores
_
).
- Defines the source name (
- Authentication:
- Supports two authentication methods:
- Via URL parameters (
url
object). - Session-based login where credentials (
user
andpassword
) are posted to a login endpoint.
- Via URL parameters (
- Checks for a successful session using a specific cookie key (
"user_id"
).
- Supports two authentication methods:
- API Definitions:
- Configures how the app interacts with Gelbooru's APIs, supporting both
XML
-based andHTML
-parsed responses. - Defines API endpoints for:
- Searching images (
search
), including URL construction and result parsing into a standardized format. - Fetching additional details about specific items (e.g., tags, image URLs, created date).
- Pool-related actions (e.g., list pools, fetch pool details).
- Retrieving available tags with sorting and filtering options.
- Searching images (
- Enforces constraints like maximum limits (e.g.,
maxLimit = 100
for XML queries).
- Configures how the app interacts with Gelbooru's APIs, supporting both
- Search URL Parsing:
- Defines how URLs are constructed based on user input, including translating Gelbooru-specific search formats (
order:
→sort:
). - Handles special cases like searching user favorites (
fav:
) or tagging invalid inputs (e.g., deep page searches or unsupported favorite APIs).
- Defines how URLs are constructed based on user input, including translating Gelbooru-specific search formats (
- Data Parsing:
- Interprets XML or HTML responses coming from the server to extract needed data (e.g., image details or error reasons).
- Processes structured or regex-parsed image data and enriches it via the
completeImage
function. - Extracts additional metadata such as tags and pagination details.
- Metadata:
3. completeImage()
use throughout:
- The
completeImage
function is called every time individual image data is processed (e.g., from API responses or pool listings). It ensures consistency in image attributes (author
,file_url
, etc.), translating or filling gaps where possible.
4. General Functionality:
- The code provides a complete modular implementation of an integration with the Gelbooru imageboard API, focusing on:
- Querying and searching for images or tags.
- Retrieving details about specific entries.
- Supporting both XML and HTML response formats.
- Handling authentication for both user-based and key-based methods.
- Processing image data into a consistent format, using helper functions like
completeImage
.
In summary:
This code is part of a larger framework for interacting with Gelbooru, particularly for fetching and processing image data, handling search queries, and authenticating users. It ensures that data returned from Gelbooru is properly parsed, enriched, and matches expected standards or formats.
