<div class="sample-container">
<ejs-filemanager id='overview' [ajaxSettings]='ajaxSettings' [view]='view'>
</ejs-filemanager>
</div>import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { FileManagerComponent, NavigationPaneService, ToolbarService, DetailsViewService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-filemanager';
/**
* File Manager full functionalities sample
*/
@Component({
selector: 'control-content',
templateUrl: 'overview.html',
styleUrls: ['overview.css'],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
providers: [ NavigationPaneService, ToolbarService, DetailsViewService]
})
export class OverViewController {
public ajaxSettings: object;
public view: string;
public hostUrl: string = 'https://ej2-aspcore-service.azurewebsites.net/';
public ngOnInit(): void {
this.ajaxSettings = {
url: this.hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/FileOperations',
getImageUrl: this.hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/GetImage',
uploadUrl: this.hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/Upload',
downloadUrl: this.hostUrl + 'api/FileManager/Download'
};
this.view = "Details";
}
}
The File Manager component supports rendering flat JSON data objects, eliminating the need for HTTP client requests and back-end URL configuration. All file operations can be handled within the component itself through file action events.
The Angular File Manager UI consists of a toolbar, navigation pane, and content pane through which the files or folders in the file system can be accessed and managed. The entire layout can be customized with features like right-to-left alignment, enabling or disabling the toolbar and navigation pane, and switching between views.
The toolbar contains a list of tools for performing various operations like upload file, download file, and switch views. The toolbar can be configured with any custom functionality to be performed on the file system.
The Angular File Manager navigation pane allows quick and direct access to a file or folder in a file system where the entire folder hierarchy is listed using a tree view. This can be made visible or hidden as needed.
The content pane displays the files and folders in the file system. The files in the content pane can be displayed in either a large icon view or a details view.
The Angular File Manager component includes all the common operations needed for managing a file system: copy, move, upload, download, edit, create, delete, and sort.
The File Manager control allows easy file uploading and downloading in a file system.
Files and folders in the file system can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking the column header. Files and folders can be sorted based on name, date created, size, and other details. The default sorting functionality can also be customized in the File Manager.
The File Manager control contains built-in search functionality that allows you to search for and access a file or folder in the current path and its child folders.
Files and folders can be moved within the file system by dragging and dropping them. Drag-and-drop support can be turned on or off.
Restrict access to files and folders by defining a set of rules for them. Only authorized users will be able to access them.
You can specify the types of files that can be uploaded in the File Manager. Other file types will be restricted from uploading.
The Angular File Manager control has built-in support for the selection of multiple files or folders. Multiple file selection is effective when a single operation like download or delete needs to be performed for multiple files in the file system.
The Angular File Manager control has support to upload a directory (folder) with its subfolders and files.
The Angular File Manager component provides a context menu to list the operations that can be performed with files and folders. It appears when a file or folder is right-clicked. Context menu items can be customized according to user preferences.
The File Manager control allows you to manage data from storage services.
Amazon S3 bucket cloud storage file provider
Microsoft Azure cloud storage file provider
Google Drive cloud storage file provider
The Angular File Manager control ensures that every cell is accessible using the keyboard. Major features like sort, select, and edit can be performed using keyboard commands alone; no mouse interaction is required. This helps in creating highly accessible applications using this control.
Developers have control over all the UI elements and behaviors of the components to provide the best experience to end users.
Supports right-to-left (RTL) direction for users working in right-to-left languages like Hebrew and Arabic.
With continuous improvement in Angular versions, the Angular File Manager is kept up to date to make it compatible with versions starting from 4 to the latest version.
File Manager layout is also available in Blazor, React, Vue, and JavaScript frameworks. Check out the different File Manager layout platforms from the links below:
The Angular File Manager works well with all modern web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Opera.
We do not sell the Angular File Manager separately. It is only available for purchase as part of the Syncfusion team license. This contains over 1,800 components and frameworks, including the Angular File Manager. The price of the team license starts at $395 per month for 5 developers, and includes support and updates until the subscription expires. In addition, we might offer discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our product specialists today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.
You can find our Angular File Manager demo, which demonstrates how to render and configure the File Manager.
No, our 1,800+ components and frameworks for web, mobile, and desktop, including our Angular File Manager, are not sold individually. They are only available as part of a team license. However, we have competitively priced the product, so it only costs a little bit more than what some other vendors charge for their File Manager component alone. We have also found that, in our experience, our customers usually start off using one of our products and then expand to several products quickly, so we felt it was best to offer all 1,800+ components and frameworks for a subscription fee that starts at $395 per month for a team of 5 developers. Additionally, we might be able to offer discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our product specialists today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.
No, this is a commercial product and requires a paid license. However, a free community license is also available for companies and individuals whose organizations have less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue, 5 or fewer developers, and 10 or fewer total employees.
A good place to start would be our comprehensive getting started documentation.
