Virtual File Cabinet — Part 3
A working solution
We have begun building a system that will automatically do our administrative filing for us. We are doing this with Node.JS. See Part 1 and Part 2 for details where we began proving we could overcome the obvious challenges.
It is time to tie everything together. Instead of rehashing all the decisions that are needed to build out our system, I have created a repository with code that implements those decisions. We will do a brief review of the code below. Each file is documented though, or relatively straight forward. As always the code is the best documentation of the system.
The code in this repository will be updated if/when needed to address any glaring errors. However the purpose of this code is not to be an “out of the box” solution. Rather it is intended to explore how you might go about filing scanned documents automatically. That said, the code works for the testing I have done thus far. I won’t pretend that this testing is overly thorough though. I will be using the code for my own purposes and want to see how it behaves over time as it…
