[Elana Stettin]

how do i pass my own files and data into the file manager? can i do this as a json with local data? i can't get the path attribute to work either and can't find in the documentation where to change the data source.

Hi Elana, 

Greetings from Syncfusion support. 

We checked your reported query and suspect your requirement is to define the files in some data source property. The File Manager structure is based on a client-server architecture and the operations are processed by using ajax requests sent to the server. So, it is not possible to do local binding on the client side.  

However, you can use your own files and data in the File Manager by launching the local File Manager service and placing your required files in the path specified in the controller part of the service. Please find the local File Manager service below 

File Manager service: https://github.com/SyncfusionExamples/ej2-file-manager-core-service  

Once this service is launched refer its URL in ajaxSettings URL property of the File Manager.  

We have prepared a sample for your reference by using local web service and files. Please find it below, 

Sample: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-uhx73s-zzaiaf 

 

Note: Run the File Manager local web service first and then open the above sample. 

Since each operation is processed using ajax requests, you can also modify the response data in the controller part of the File Manager local service based on your requirement. The response sent for operations must be in the format mentioned in the below document, 

Documentation: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/file-manager/file-operations/#file-operation-request-and-response-parameters 

Let us know if you have any concerns. 

Thanks,

Hi Christo, please note that the documentation here-

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/file-manager/file-operations/

Appears out of date.

The most notable immediate point being that in a recent release you've changed the request action to lowercase read instead of Read.

I'm assuming you've done the same for the other actions as well, but I haven't verified that yet.
