+# About
+`repertory-js` is a client library used to communicate with `repertory's` remote API.
+
+## Example Usage
+``` javascript
+const rep = require('@scottg1/repertory-js');
+
+
+// Repertory host settings
+const MY_HOST_OR_IP = 'localhost';
+const MY_PORT = 20000;
+const MY_TOKEN = 'password';
+
+// Progress callback for uploads / downloads
+const progress_cb = (local_path, remote_path, progress, completed) => {
+  console.log(local_path, remote_path, progress, completed);
+}
+
+/*
+    Step 1. Create a connection pool (recommended)
+*/
+const conn = await rep.create_pool(8, MY_HOST_OR_IP, MY_PORT, MY_TOKEN);
+
+// Or create a single connection for light operations
+/*
+  const conn = await rep.connect(MY_HOST_OR_IP, MY_PORT, MY_TOKEN);
+*/
+
+
+/*
+    Step 2. Create an 'api' instance using the connection pool / connection
+*/
+const api = rep.create_api(conn);
+
+
+/*
+  Step 3. Use 'api'
+*/
+//                          *********** Directory Operations ***********                          //
+// List directory contents
+await api.directory.list('/', async (remote_path, page_count, get_page) => {
+  for (let i = 0; i < page_count; i++) {
+    const items = await get_page(i); // Always 'await'
+    console.log(items);
+  }
+});
+
+// Create new directory
+await api.directory.create('/test');
+
+// Remove existing directory
+await api.directory.remove('/test')
+
+//                            *********** File Operations ***********                             //
+// Delete a file
+await api.file.delete('/my_file.txt')
+
+// Download a remote file
+await api.file.download('/my_file.txt', 'C:\\my_file.txt', progress_cb);
+
+// Download a remote file and overwrite existing local file if it exists
+await api.file.download('/my_file.txt', 'C:\\my_file.txt', progress_cb, true);
+
+// Resume failed download
+await api.file.download('/my_file.txt', 'C:\\my_file.txt', progress_cb, false, true);
+
+// Upload a local file
+await api.file.upload('C:\\my_file.txt', '/my_file.txt', progress_cb);
+```
