Introduction

Image Uploader is using scripts written in Squirrel 3 language. Squirrel is a high level imperative, object-oriented programming language, designed to be a light-weight scripting language that fits in the size, memory bandwidth, and real-time requirements of applications like video games.

Scripts should be saved in utf-8 encoding in files with .nut extension and placed in the Data/Scripts directory.

Example

test <- "example"; // global variable
 
// This is the function that performs the upload of the file
// @param string pathToFile 
// @param UploadParams options
// @return int - success(1), failure(0)
 
function UploadFile(pathToFile, options) {
    nm.setUrl("http://example.com/upload.php");
    nm.addQueryParamFile("file", pathToFile, ExtractFileName(pathToFile),"");
    nm.addQueryParam("submit", "Upload file!");
    nm.doUploadMultipartData();
 
    local response = nm.responseBody(); // 'local' it's like javascript's 'var' but only for local variables
    local directUrl = _RegexSimple(response, "\\[IMG\\](.+)\\[/IMG\\]",0);
    
    options.setDirectUrl(directUrl);
 
    return 1; //SUCCESS
}
 
// Helper function that simplifies working with regular expressions
// @param string data - the string we are looking in
// @param string regStr - regular expression, in the format supported by the standard squirrel language library.
//      http://www.squirrel-lang.org/doc/sqstdlib2.html#d0e2580
//      This format does not support some of the features of the PCRE format used in servers.xml.
// @param int start - starting position
// @return string - returns text captured by the first subpattern.
//
function _RegexSimple(data,regStr,start) {
    local ex = regexp(regStr);
    local res = ex.capture(data, start);
    local resultStr = "";
    if(res != null){    
        resultStr = data.slice(res[1].begin, res[1].end);
    }
    return resultStr;
}
 
// Authenticating on remote server (optional function)
// @var CFolderList list
// @return int - success(1), failure(0) 
function Authenticate() {
    // TODO: Your code
    return 1; //SUCCESS
}
 
 
// Optional function:
// Retrieving folder (album) list from server
// @var CFolderList list
// @return int - success(1), failure(0) 
//
function GetFolderList(list) {
    // TODO: Your code
    return 1; //SUCCESS
}
 
 
// Create an folder or an album
// @var CFolderItem parentAlbum
// @var CFolderItem album
// @return int - success(1), failure(0)
//
function CreateFolder(parentAlbum,album) {
    // TODO: Your code
    return 1; //SUCCESS
}
 
// Modify a folder or an album (update name, description)
// @var CFolderItem album
// @return int - success(1), failure(0) 
//
function ModifyFolder(album) {
    // TODO: Your code
    return 1; //SUCCESS
}
 
// A function that returns a list of types of access restrictions to an album:
// private, public, only for friends, etc.
// @return array 
function GetFolderAccessTypeList() {
    return ["Private", "Public"];
}

You have to implement at least one function — UploadFile.
If you want to support album listing/creating/modifying, you have to implement also GetFolderList, CreateFolder, ModifyFolder, GetFolderAccessTypeList.

nm - global object - is an instance of NetworkClient
ServerParams - global object - is an instance of ServerSettingsStruct

Parsing HTML with gumbo-query

Gumbo-query is a library that provides CSS selector-like queries for Gumbo-Parser. Use ScriptAPI::Document class.

local txt = "<h1><a id=\"logo\" class=\"link\">some link</a></h1>";
 
local doc = Document(txt);
print(doc.find("h1 a").text()+"\r\n");
print(doc.find("h1 a").length()+"\r\n");
print(doc.find("#logo").attr("class")+"\r\n");
    
nm.doGet("https://svistunov.dev");
doc = Document(nm.responseBody());
doc.find("a").each( function(index,elem) {
    print(elem.text()+"-\r\n"); 
});
