Type:
Default Value: [ 'create', 'upload', 'rename', 'move', 'copy', 'delete', 'refresh', 'download' ]
Accepted Values: 'create' | 'upload' | 'refresh' | 'download' | 'move' | 'copy' | 'rename' | 'delete'
The FileManager UI component allows you to add default and custom context menu items.
Predefined Items
Predefined context menu items include:
- 'create' - Creates a new directory.
- 'upload' - Uploads a file.
- 'refresh' - Refreshes the file manager content.
- 'download' - Downloads a file.
- 'move' - Moves files and directories.
- 'copy' - Copies files and directories.
- 'rename' - Renames files and directories.
- 'delete' - Deletes files and directories.
To add a predefined item to the context menu, add its name and optional settings ('visible', 'beginGroup', 'text', 'icon', 'disabled') to the items array.
jQuery
JavaScript
$(function () {
$("#file-manager").dxFileManager({
contextMenu: {
items: [
// Specify a predefined item's name only
"rename",
// Specify a predefined item's name and optional settings
{
name: "create",
text: "Create Directory",
beginGroup: true
}
//...
]
}
});
}); 
Custom Items
To add a custom context menu item, specify its text and optional settings (for example, a file extension for a newly created file). Use the contextMenuItemClick event to handle clicks on custom context menu items.
jQuery
JavaScript
$(function () {
$("#file-manager").dxFileManager({
contextMenu: {
items: [
{
text: "Create new file",
icon: "plus",
items: [
{
text: "Text document",
extension: ".txt"
},
{
text: "RTF Document",
extension: ".rtf"
},
{
text: "Spreadsheet",
extension: ".xls"
}
]
}
// ...
]
}
onContextMenuItemClick: onItemClick
// ...
});
});
function onItemClick(args) {
if(args.itemData.extension) {
// your code
}
}
