ImageMapper is a server hosted application that processes images from a configured server folder,
extracts GPS metadata, and generates an interactive map displaying the locations of these images

Set `ImageMapper.AppHost` as start up project and run (F5)

#### Visual Studio Code
From Solution Explorer, right click `ImageMapper.AppHost` and select Debug -> Start New Instance

Install Aspire CLI - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/cli/install

Install Aspire Extension - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/fundamentals/aspire-vscode-extension

Run with F5 or Run -> Start Debugging

Alternatively without the Aspire CLI / Extension, from Solution Explorer right click `ImageMapper.AppHost` and select Debug -> Start New Instance

#### Command Line
Run `dotnet run --project ImageMapper.AppHost`
Install Aspire CLI - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/cli/install

Run `aspire run`

Alternatively without Aspire CLI, run `dotnet run --project ImageMapper.AppHost`

This will run the .NET Aspire host, launching the components and dashboard in the browser showing the service status.

Launch the front end application from imagemapper-web link

Alternatively using Aspire CLI:

`aspire run`

## Configuration

The folder for images can be configured via `appsettings.json` file in ImageMapper.Api project
```json
{
"ImageFolder": "C:\\Path\\To\\Your\\Images"
"ImageFolder": "/path/to/your/images"
}
```

## TODO

- Further unit tests
- Optimise image processing for large number of images and folders
- Abstract file enumeration and loading to allow varied sources not just a file folder
- Caching (minimally in-memory/redis etc, future database caching of metadata. With detection of image file changes)
- Configure map tile provider options
- UI improvements, filtering etc
