# IntelliSense Feature for Library Management ## Overview This feature enhances the library management experience by providing an intelligent folder selection interface when adding new libraries. It lists directories under `/mnt` and allows users to easily navigate and select folders, while preventing the addition of duplicate libraries. ## Features Implemented ### 1. IntelliSense API Endpoint - **Location**: `/api/libraries/intellisense` - **Functionality**: - Lists directories under a specified base path (default: `/mnt`) - Identifies which directories are already added as libraries - Provides structured JSON response with directory information - Supports navigation through directory hierarchy - Includes file metadata (size, modification date) ### 2. Enhanced Settings UI - **Browse Button**: Added a "Browse" button next to the library path input field - **Modal Interface**: Opens a modal dialog for folder selection when "Browse" is clicked - **Navigation**: Allows users to navigate through directory structure by clicking on folders - **Visual Indicators**: Greys out and disables selection of folders already added as libraries - **Path Display**: Shows the current path being explored - **Separate Selection**: Each folder item has a dedicated "Select" button to choose it as a library root - **Current Path Selection**: Option to select the currently displayed directory as a library ### 3. Library Conflict Prevention - Automatically detects if a folder is already added as a library - Prevents re-adding existing libraries through the UI - Clearly indicates which folders are already libraries ## Technical Implementation ### API Endpoint The IntelliSense API endpoint (`/api/libraries/intellisense`) accepts the following query parameters: - `basePath`: The base directory to explore (default: `/mnt`) - `subPath`: A subdirectory path to explore within the base path The response includes: - `path`: The current directory path being explored - `parentPath`: The parent directory path (null if at root) - `items`: An array of directory items with: - `name`: Directory name - `path`: Full directory path - `isDirectory`: Boolean indicating if the item is a directory - `isAlreadyLibrary`: Boolean indicating if the directory is already added as a library - `size`: Size of the directory - `modified`: Last modification date ### Frontend Integration The settings page was modified to include: - State management for IntelliSense items and UI visibility - Functions to fetch and display directory listings - Modal dialog for folder selection with navigation capabilities - Dedicated "Select" buttons for each folder item - Integration with existing library management functionality ## Usage Instructions 1. Navigate to the Settings page 2. In the "Media Libraries" section, click the "Browse" button next to the library path input 3. A modal dialog will appear showing directories under `/mnt` 4. To navigate into a folder, click on the folder name 5. To select a folder as a library root: - Click the "Select" button next to the folder name, OR - Click "Select as Library" next to the current path display 6. The selected path will be populated in the library path input field 7. Click "Add" to add the library ## Navigation Features - **Folder Navigation**: Click on any folder name to navigate into that directory - **Parent Navigation**: Use the ".." entry or the "Back to /mnt" button to navigate up - **Current Directory Selection**: Use the "Select as Library" button next to the path display to select the currently viewed directory - **Direct Selection**: Each folder has a dedicated "Select" button to choose it as a library root without navigating into it ## Testing The feature has been thoroughly tested with: - Directory listing functionality - Library conflict detection - UI interaction and navigation - Edge cases and error handling - Navigation through directory hierarchy All tests pass successfully, confirming that the IntelliSense feature works as expected.
