Angular FileManager Methods
beginUpdate()
Prevents the UI component from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the UI component from excessive updates when you are changing multiple UI component settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the UI component does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

defaultOptions(rule)
defaultOptions is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the FileManager UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
- import FileManager from "devextreme/ui/file_manager";
- // ...
- export class AppComponent {
- constructor () {
- FileManager.defaultOptions({
- device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
- options: {
- // Here go the FileManager properties
- }
- });
- }
- }
dispose()
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
- $("#myFileManager").dxFileManager("dispose");
- $("#myFileManager").remove();
Use this method only if the UI component was created with jQuery or pure JavaScript. In Angular, Vue, and React, use conditional rendering:
- <dx-file-manager ...
- *ngIf="condition">
- </dx-file-manager>

getInstance(element)
getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the FileManager instance found in an element with the myFileManager
ID:
- // Modular approach
- import FileManager from "devextreme/ui/file_manager";
- ...
- let element = document.getElementById("myFileManager");
- let instance = FileManager.getInstance(element) as FileManager;
- // Non-modular approach
- let element = document.getElementById("myFileManager");
- let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxFileManager.getInstance(element);

refresh()
A Promise that is resolved after data is loaded. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
The following example illustrates how to use this method:
- import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
- import { DxFileManagerModule } from "devextreme-angular";
- @Component({
- selector: 'app-root',
- templateUrl: './app.component.html',
- styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
- })
- export class AppComponent {
- @ViewChild(DxFileManagerComponent, { static: false }) fileManager: DxFileManagerComponent;
- // Prior to Angular 8
- // @ViewChild(DxFileManagerComponent) fileManager: DxFileManagerComponent;
- yourCustomMethod() {
- this.fileManager.instance.refresh();
- // ...
- }
- }
- <dx-file-manager
- id="fileManager">
- <!-- ... -->
- </dx-file-manager>
- import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
- import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
- import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
- import { DxFileManagerModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
- @NgModule({
- declarations: [
- AppComponent
- ],
- imports: [
- BrowserModule,
- DxFileManagerModule
- ],
- providers: [ ],
- bootstrap: [AppComponent]
- })
- export class AppModule { }
registerKeyHandler(key, handler)
A handler. Accepts the keydown event as the argument. It is a dxEvent or a jQuery.Event when you use jQuery.
The key argument accepts one of the following values:
- "backspace"
- "tab"
- "enter"
- "escape"
- "pageUp"
- "pageDown"
- "end"
- "home"
- "leftArrow"
- "upArrow"
- "rightArrow"
- "downArrow"
- "del"
- "space"
- "F"
- "A"
- "asterisk"
- "minus"
A custom handler for a key cancels the default handler for this key.
