Server Files for Craft CMS 3.x
==============================

[](#server-files-for-craft-cms-3x)

Retrieve a list of files based on a specified folder path and extracts file information (optionally, currently onyl Exif image data)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

```
cd /path/to/project

```

2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

```
composer require amkdev/server-files

```

3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Server Files.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This little plugin retrieves a list of files based on a specified folder path.

This might be useful to you if

- You're running Craft 3.1 or above
- You need to retrieve files plus file information, not managed by Craft CMS, from a folder on your web server and return the output in Twig

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Output the jpg files of a directory and the Exif data title and caption

[](#output-the-jpg-files-of-a-directory-and-the-exif-data-title-and-caption)

Inside /uploads/images there are 3 image files:

```
22 Apr 22:54 image01.jpg
22 Apr 22:54 image02.jpg
22 Apr 22:54 icon.gif

```

In our Twig templates we set variables and give the server files a folder path for the search (required) and define (optionally) the information we need and regex pattern:

```
{% set settings =
    {
        path: 'uploads/images',
        pattern: '*.jpg',
        info: 'exif[title,caption]'
    }
%}
{% set images = craft.serverfiles.config(settings) %}

{% for image in images %}

{% endfor %}

```

Additionally you can use "full" {{ image.full }} to get the absolute path of a file.

This example Twig code would output:

```

```

If none of the configured Exif information is present, an empty string is returned for the data.
