Access to aws s3 with amplify or aws-s3 library to manage files

Hi!

I've been playing with the file manager for a few hours and reading the docs and from what I read about file system providers, the only option is to use API's. Is there a way to access to s3 using the libraries given by aws?

Hi Lorenzo,


We have validated your requirement in File Manager component. Currently, File Manager has support to handle the data from the in-built AJAX operations (response from the default file operations of File Manager) and we do not have support to use File Manager without backend. The File Manager works with the file system provider which allows the component to manage the files and folders in a physical or cloud-based file system. To understand how the File Manager works, please refer to the below UG document.

However, we have considered providing support to render the File Manager from an external JSON, i.e., there is no need to process the request using an ajax call, and this will be included in any of our upcoming releases. Generally, we will plan any feature implementation based on customer request count, feature rank and Wishlist plan. 


You can track the feature status through the below link,

Once enabled, you will be able to retrieve information from the Amazon service at the client end and convert it to JSON for use with the File Manager component. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
