Dropbox

Dropbox support integrated into Cloud Commander and you can switch from local file system to a dropbox account 🎉.
All you need to do is set --dropbox option and generate dropbox token for you account.

This can look like this:

cloudcmd --dropbox --dropbox-token your-dropbox-token

Using dropbox remember that there is no remote support of a console and terminal. Progress of file operation also not supported. There is only basic support, but you can do next things with files and directories:

• create
• remove
• rename/move
• view
• edit

To implement this feature next modules had to be written:

• @cloudcmd/dropbox - dropbox files and folders crud, similar to fs.
• dropboxify - Read directory content from dropbox compatible way with readify
• restbox - REST for CRUD file operations on dropbox similar to restafary
• readbox - Read file or directory from dropbox.

and they can be reused for any interactions with files on dropbox :)

Besides this a couple system modules was written, which simplify development significantly:

• serve-once - serve express middleware once;
  it is the simplest way to create new http server with your middleware, send request, receive response, and close connection:

const middleware = () => (req, res) => {
    res.end('hello');
};

const {request} = require('serve-once')(middleware);

await request('get', '/');
// returns
'hello'

• try-to-tape - wrap tape async functions and show error on reject; if you had situation when your tape assertion crashes without warning while using async-await functions you can use this module to see what actually happened :).

That is all for today, if you find bugs create an issue or send pull request with fix 🙂.
