items[]

The FileManager widget allows you to add default and create custom context menu items.

$(function () {
    $("#file-manager").dxFileManager({
        contextMenu: {
            items: [
                "create", // default item
                {
                    text: "Create new file", // custom item with sub items
                    items: [
                        {
                            text: "Plain text document",
                            extension: ".txt",
                            onClick: onItemClick
                        },
                        // ...
                    ]
                },
                // ...
                "move", "copy", "delete", "refresh" // default items
            ]
        }
        // ...
    });
});

This option accepts one of the following:

• The icon's URL
• The icon's name if the icon is from the DevExtreme icon library
• The icon's CSS class if the icon is from an external icon library (see External Icon Libraries)
• The icon in the Base64 format
• The icon in the SVG format. Ensure that the source is reliable.

When specifying the items field for an item, this item becomes a root item. The child items are displayed using the same default item template as the root items. So specify the fields that take part in the default item template when defining items array objects. Alternatively, you can implement a custom item template.

Whether you use a default or a custom template for widget items, you can specify a specific template for a particular item. To do so, set the template field for the data source object of this item. The following types of the specified value are available.

• Assign a string containing the name of the required template.
• Assign a jQuery object of the template's container.
• Assign a DOM Node of the template's container.
• Assign a function that returns the jQuery object or a DOM Node of the template's container.
