tammynka / duplicates

This small tool accepts a path parameter and finds all the duplicate files in it. A duplicate file must have the same name and the same contents.

Getting started:

1. clone this project and enter the local project's directory
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm start
4. Open your favorite browser and browse to localhost:3333/duplicates?dir=<your_path>
5. Run npm test to run the unit tests

Few things worth mentioning:

• I've decided to create a plain node project. No boilerplate, only express for routing, eslint for code styles, nodemon for hot reload and mocha for testing. Adding frontend to the mix would have bloated it up so I've decided to let go.
• As it is a small project, I kept the structure relatively flat. In a real scale project there will be a more complex structure.
• I've decided to ignore hidden files. No use in comparing .git directories and .DS_Store files.
