The following list of dependencies are required to use the File Manager component in your application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-filemanager
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-grids
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-layouts

Installation and configuration

You can use create-react-app to setup the applications. To install create-react-app run the following command.

npm install -g create-react-app

To setup basic React sample use following commands.

create-react-app quickstart --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts

cd quickstart

create-react-app quickstart

cd quickstart

Adding Syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry. You can choose the component that you want to install. For this application, we are going to use File Manager component.

To install File Manager component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-filemanager --save

Adding Style sheet to the Application

To render the File Manager component, need to import File Manager and its dependent component’s styles as given below in App.css.

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-icons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-grids/styles/material.css';
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-filemanager/styles/material.css";

Note: If you want to refer the combined component styles, please make use of our CRG (Custom Resource Generator) in your application.

Adding File Manager component to the Application

File Manager can be initialized using the <FileManagerComponent> tag. Now, you can start adding Essential JS 2 File Manager component to the application.

To include the File Manager component in application import the FileManagerComponent from ej2-react-filemanager package in App.tsx.
Then add the File Manager component as shown in below code example.

[src/App.tsx]

import {  FileManagerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-filemanager';
import * as React from 'react';

function App() {
  let hostUrl: string = "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/";

  return (
<div className="control-section">
    <FileManagerComponent id="file" ajaxSettings = {{
      url: hostUrl + "api/FileManager/FileOperations"
    }} />
</div>
  );
}
export default App;

import { FileManagerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-filemanager';
import * as React from 'react';
function App() {
    let hostUrl = "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/";
    return (<div className="control-section">
    <FileManagerComponent id="file" ajaxSettings={{
        url: hostUrl + "api/FileManager/FileOperations"
    }}/>
</div>);
}
export default App;

Run the application

Now run the npm start command in the console, it will run your application and open the browser window.

npm start

The following sample, shows the basic File Manager component.

Note: The appearance of the File Manager can be customized by using cssClass property. This adds a css class to the root of the File Manager which can be used to add new styles or override existing styles to the File Manager.

Switching initial view of the File Manager

The initial view of the File Manager can be changed to details or largeicons view with the help of view property. By default, the File Manager will be rendered in large icons view. When the File Manager is initially rendered, created will be triggered. This event can be utilized for performing operations once the File Manager has been successfully created.

Maintaining component state on page reload

The File Manager supports maintaining the component state on page reload. This can be achieved by enabling enablePersistence property which maintains the following,

Previous view of the File Manager - View
Previous path of the File Manager - Path
Previous selected items of the File Manager - SelectedItems

For every operation in File Manager, ajax request will be sent to the server which then processes the request and sends back the response. When the ajax request is success, success event will be triggered and failure event will be triggered if the request gets failed.

Specifying the current path of the File Manager

The current path of the File Manager can be specified initially or dynamically using the path property.

The following code snippet demonstrates specifying the current path in File Manager on rendering.

import { DetailsView, FileManagerComponent, NavigationPane, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-filemanager';
import * as React from 'react';
FileManagerComponent.Inject(DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar);

function App() {
  let hostUrl: string = "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/";

  return (
<div className="control-section">
    <FileManagerComponent id="file" ajaxSettings = {{
      downloadUrl: hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/Download',
      getImageUrl: hostUrl + "api/FileManager/GetImage",
      uploadUrl: hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/Upload',
      url: hostUrl + "api/FileManager/FileOperations"
    }} path ='/Food' />
</div>
  );
}
export default App;

import { DetailsView, FileManagerComponent, NavigationPane, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-filemanager';
import * as React from 'react';
FileManagerComponent.Inject(DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar);
function App() {
    let hostUrl = "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/";
    return (<div className="control-section">
    <FileManagerComponent id="file" ajaxSettings={{
        downloadUrl: hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/Download',
        getImageUrl: hostUrl + "api/FileManager/GetImage",
        uploadUrl: hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/Upload',
        url: hostUrl + "api/FileManager/FileOperations"
    }} path='/Food'/>
</div>);
}
export default App;
