React FileManager - Object

The Object file system provider works with a file system represented by an in-memory array of JSON objects.

import ObjectFileSystemProvider from "devextreme/file_management/object_provider"

Type:

Assign the array to the data property. Data object fields should have conventional names listed in the data description. Otherwise, specify [fieldName]Expr properties: nameExpr, sizeExpr, dateModifiedExpr, and so on.

The following code shows how to bind the FileManager to the Object file system provider:

jQuery

index.js

data.js

$(function() {
    $("#file-manager").dxFileManager({            
        fileSystemProvider: fileSystem,
        // ...
    });
});

var fileSystem = [
{
    name: "Documents",
    isDirectory: true,
    items: [{
        name: "Projects",
        isDirectory: true,
        items: [{
            name: "About.rtf",
            isDirectory: false,
            size: 1024
        }, {
            name: "Passwords.rtf",
            isDirectory: false,
            size: 2048
        }]
    }, {
        name: "About.xml",
        isDirectory: false,
        size: 1024
    }]
}];
