Solid POD Interaction with Vite

This project provides a simple interface for interacting with a Solid POD using a local instance of the Community Solid Server (CSS) or a remote Solid POD (like solidcommunity.net). It enables users to:

1. Read Profile Information: View profile data from a Solid POD WebID.
2. Write to Profile: Update profile information (e.g., name) in the Solid POD.
3. Upload Files: Upload files to a specified container within the POD, creating the container if it doesn't exist.

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tdiprima/solid-pod-app.git
   cd solid-pod-app

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Configure Vite: Ensure vite is installed globally, or you can install it locally in this project:

   npm install -g create-vite

4. Replace all instances of http://localhost:3000/Tammy-DiPrima/* with your POD url.

5. Start the Vite development server:

   npm run dev

Usage

1. Run Local Community Solid Server: If using CSS on localhost, start it on the appropriate port (usually 3000).
2. Open the Application: Navigate to http://localhost:5173 to access the interface.
3. Authenticate: Log in with your Solid POD credentials.
4. Read Profile: Enter a WebID to fetch profile information.
5. Write Profile: Update profile details (e.g., name).
6. Upload Files: Select a file to upload to your POD's /public container.

Requirements

• Node.js and npm
• Vite for local development and live reloading
• @inrupt/solid-client and @inrupt/solid-client-authn-browser for interacting with Solid PODs

Notes

• This project has been tested with both a local Community Solid Server (CSS) and solidcommunity.net.
• Make sure the specified upload container (e.g., /public) exists on your POD. The upload script will create it if missing.
