Quick hack: Redirect to asset by URL - Endpoint extension for directus.io
// Quick hack: Redirect to asset by URL - Endpoint extension for directus.io
// =========================================================================
//
// 2021 - ToJans - Public Domain
//
// *** Don't hold me liable if it breaks anything! Quick hack, might expose all your data!
//
// You can use this endpoint extension to access assets via the folder and file structure
// you used in the file module, so you don't need to reference assets by guid anymore.
//
// Usage:
// ------
//
// Browse to "/filestorage/[folder/subfolder/filename.ext]" according to the [folder]s
// and [filename_download] you used in the file module. It will redirect to "/assets/some-huge-guid-xxxxx"
//
// Installation:
// -------------
//
// Save the contents of this file in "$DIRECTUS_ROOT/extensions/endpoints/filestorage/index.js" and (re)start directus.
//
// Note:
// -----
// This is just a quick hack to see how extensible directus.io is, and I have to say I'm not disappointed.
//
// However, I only discovered directus.io a couple of hours ago, so I'm by no means an expert on this stuff.
// So authorization & async might need to be validated TBH.
