Nodejs connector for elFinder

elFinder NodeJS Connector

This is connector for elFinder in nodejs. It currently implements LocalFileStorage only.

Installation

npm install elfinder-node --save

Usage

This package should be implemented as a middleware for Expressjs server

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const elFinder = require("elfinder-node");

const roots = [
    {
        driver: elFinder.LocalFileStorage
        URL: "/uploads/",       //Required
        path: "/path/to/dir",   //Required
        permissions: { read:1, write: 1, lock: 0 }
    },
    {
        driver: elFinder.LocalFileStorage
        URL: "/404/",       //Required
        path: "private",    //Required
        permissions: { read:1, write: 0, lock: 1 }
    },
];

app.use( "/connector", elFinder( roots ) );

app.listen( process.env.PORT || 8000 );

Configuration

The connector takes an array of volumes. All volumes are local files and must be created before the connector is initiated

• driver [optional] - The volume driver to use. Only LocalFileStorage is implemented at the moment and is the default
• URL [Required] - the url which will be used to resolve files
• path [Required] - The location of the folder
• permissions [optional] - An object containing the file permission. Very useful when implementing a multi-user system

Missing Features

Most of the elFinder function are working with the exception of these:

• chmod: change file permission
• mkfile: create text files
• put: save edited text
• extract extract archive
• size
