JavaScript/jQuery FileManager - Remote
Set the endpointUrl option to specify the endpoint used to access and modify the file system.
The server should return data objects of the following structure:
{ name: "MyFile.jpg", size: 1024, dateModified: "2019/05/08", thumbnail: "/thumbnails/images/jpeg.ico", isDirectory: false, hasSubDirectories: false }
Fields in this structure have conventional names that you can change via [fieldName]Expr options: nameExpr, sizeExpr, dateModifiedExpr, and so on.
The following code shows how to bind the FileManager to the Remote file provider:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#fileManagerContainer").dxFileManager({ fileProvider: new DevExpress.FileProviders.Remote({ endpointUrl: "https://mydomain.com/api/files", thumbnailExpr: "icon", // ... }) }); });
On the server-side, you need to process file management requests. DevExtreme provides helpers for ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core that do this. To view the server-side code, navigate to the FileManagerApiController.cs
tab in the following demo:
