Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

The following are the dependencies required to use the File Manager component in your application:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-navigations
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-inputs
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-lists
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-popups
            |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-grids
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-filemanager
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
            |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons

Setting up the Vue 2 project

To generate a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI, use the vue create command. Follow these steps to install Vue CLI and create a new project:

npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
npm run serve

or

yarn global add @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
yarn run serve

When creating a new project, choose the option Default ([Vue 2] babel, eslint) from the menu.

Vue 2 project

Once the quickstart project is set up with default settings, proceed to add Syncfusion components to the project.

Add Syncfusion Vue packages

Syncfusion packages are available at npmjs.com. To use Vue components, install the required npm package.

This article uses the Vue File manager component as an example. Install the @syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager package by running the following command:

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

or

yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager

Import Syncfusion CSS styles

You can import themes for the Syncfusion Vue component in various ways, such as using CSS or SASS styles from npm packages, CDN, CRG and Theme Studio. Refer to themes topic to know more about built-in themes and different ways to refer to themes in a Vue project.

In this article, the Material theme is applied using CSS styles, which are available in installed packages. The necessary Material CSS styles for the File manager component and its dependents were imported into the <style> section of src/App.vue file.

<style>
@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-vue-filemanager/styles/material.css";
</style>

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

Add Syncfusion Vue component

Follow the below steps to add the Vue File manager component:

1. First, import and register the File manager component in the script section of the src/App.vue file.

<script setup>
import { FileManagerComponent as EjsFilemanager } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

</script>
<script>
import { FileManagerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

export default {
name: "App",
components: {
"ejs-filemanager":FilemanagerComponent
},
}
</script>

2. In the template section, define the File manager component with ajaxSettings property.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-filemanager id="file-manager" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings">
        </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</template>

3. Declare the value for the ajaxSettings property in the script section.

<script setup>
const ajaxSettings =
{
    url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations"
};
</script>
<script>
data () {
    return {
        ajaxSettings:
        {
            url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations"
        }
    }
}
</script>

Here is the summarized code for the above steps in the src/App.vue file:

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-filemanager id="file-manager" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings">
        </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { FileManagerComponent as EjsFilemanager} from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

const ajaxSettings = {
    url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations"
}

<script>
import { FileManagerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        "ejs-filemanager":FileManagerComponent
    },
    data () {
        return {
           ajaxSettings:
            {
                url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations"
            }
        }

            }
        }
    }
}
</script>

Image Preview support

To perform the image preview support in the File Manager component, need to initialize the getImageUrl property in a ajaxSettings of File Manager component.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-filemanager id="file-manager" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings">
        </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { FileManagerComponent as EjsFilemanager } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

const ajaxSettings = {
    url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations",
    getImageUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/GetImage"
}

<script>
import { FileManagerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        "ejs-filemanager":FileManagerComponent
    },
    data () {
        return {
           ajaxSettings:
            {
                url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations",
                getImageUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/GetImage"
            }

</style>

Injecting feature modules

Basically, the file manager component contains large-icons view for displaying the files and folders, a breadcrumbbar for navigation and context menu for performing operations. However, these basic functionalities can be extended by using the additional feature modules like detailsview, toolbar, navigation pane, and context menu to change the layout and to simplify the navigation and file operations within the file system. The above modules can be injected using provide.

The following example shows you the File Manager with all feature modules.

<template>
<div id="app">
    <div class="wrapper">
     <ejs-filemanager id="overview_filemanager" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings" :view="view">
     </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";
import { FileManagerComponent as EjsFilemanager, DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

const ajaxSettings =
{
    url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations",
    getImageUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/GetImage",
    uploadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Upload",
    downloadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Download"
};
const view = "Details";
provide('filemanager',  [DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar]);

     </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { FileManagerComponent, DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        "ejs-filemanager":FileManagerComponent,
    },
     data () {
        return {
           ajaxSettings:
            {
                url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations",
                getImageUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/GetImage",
                uploadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Upload",
                downloadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Download"
            },
            // Initial view of File Manager is set to details view
            view:"Details"
        }
    },
    //Injecting additional modules in FileManager
    provide: {
            filemanager: [DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar]
    }
}
</script>
<style>
@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-grids/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager/styles/material.css";
</style>

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.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-filemanager id="file-manager" :view="view" :created="onCreate" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings">
        </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";

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.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-filemanager id="file-manager" :enablePersistence="enablePersistence" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings" :success="onAjaxSuccess" :failure="onAjaxFailure">
        </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";
import { FileManagerComponent as EjsFilemanager, DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

const ajaxSettings =

    url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations",
    getImageUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/GetImage",
    uploadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Upload",
    downloadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Download"
};
const enablePersistence = true;
provide('filemanager',  [DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar]);
const onAjaxSuccess = () => {
    console.log("Ajax request successful");
};
const onAjaxFailure = () => {
    console.log("Ajax request has failed");
};

Note: The files of the current folder opened in the File manager can be refreshed programatically by calling refreshFiles method.

Rendering component in right-to-left direction

It is possible to render the File Manager in right-to-left direction by setting the enableRtl API to true.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-filemanager id="file-manager" :enableRtl="enableRtl" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings">
        </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";
import { FileManagerComponent as EjsFilemanager, DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

const ajaxSettings =
{
    url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations",
    getImageUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/GetImage",
    uploadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Upload",
    downloadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Download"
};
const enableRtl = true;
provide('filemanager',  [DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar]);

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.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-filemanager id="file-manager" :path="path" :ajaxSettings="ajaxSettings">
        </ejs-filemanager>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";
import { FileManagerComponent as EjsFilemanager, DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-filemanager";

const ajaxSettings =
{
    url: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/FileOperations",
    getImageUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/GetImage",
    uploadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Upload",
    downloadUrl: "https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/api/FileManager/Download"
};
// Initial view of File Manager is set to details view
const view = "Details";
// Specify the required current path
const path: '/Food';
provide('filemanager',  [DetailsView, NavigationPane, Toolbar]);
