file-manager custom element

You want a simple file browser for your website, without the hassle of a front-end framework ? Here is a simple custom element for you.

First register the custom element (the lang is infered from the html "lang" attribute)

import {FileManager} from 'filemanager-element'
import 'filemanager-element/FileManager.css'

FileManager.register();

Then you can simply use your custom element whenever you want

<file-manager endpoint="http://your.api.com/endpoint"></file-manager>

You just have to implement the API following this Open API specification and it will work out of the box.

To interface the editor with your system (for instance when a file is selected) you can simply bind listeners

const filemanager = document.querySelector("file-manager");
filemanager.addEventListener("close", () => {
  console.log("close");
});

filemanager.addEventListener("selectfile", e => {
  console.log("fileSelected", e.detail);
});
