About

Demo

Live Demo [ Source ]

Installation

npm i vuefinder

JS entry point (it can be index.js or main.js)

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'

import 'vuefinder/dist/style.css'
import VueFinder from 'vuefinder/dist/vuefinder'

const app = createApp(App)

//By default, Vuefinder will use English as the main language. 
// However, if you want to support multiple languages and customize the localization, 
// you can import the language files manually during component registration.
app.use(VueFinder)

app.mount('#app')
 

Localization

You can manually import the localization files from the package and register them with Vuefinder. The localization files are located in the dist/locales folder.

import en from 'vuefinder/dist/locales/en.js'
import tr from 'vuefinder/dist/locales/tr.js'
import ru from 'vuefinder/dist/locales/ru.js'

app.use(VueFinder, {
  i18n: { en, tr, ru }
});

Async Localization

Alternatively, you can import the localization files asynchronously during component registration. This can be useful for lazy loading or if you prefer to load the files dynamically.

app.use(VueFinder, {
  i18n: {
    en: async () => await import("vuefinder/dist/locales/en.js"),
    de: async () => await import("vuefinder/dist/locales/de.js"),
    // Add more locales as needed
  }
});

Vue Template

<div>
    <vue-finder id='my_vuefinder' :request="request"></vue-finder>
</div>
...

<script setup>
  const request = "http://vuefinder-php.test"
  
  // Or ...
  const request = {
    // ----- CHANGE ME! -----
    // [REQUIRED] Url for development server endpoint
    baseUrl: "http://vuefinder-php.test",
    // ----- CHANGE ME! -----

    // Additional headers & params & body
    headers: { "X-ADDITIONAL-HEADER": 'yes' },
    params: { additionalParam1: 'yes' },
    body: { additionalBody1: ['yes'] },

    // And/or transform request callback
    transformRequest: req => {
      if (req.method === 'get') {
        req.params.vf = "1"
      }
      return req;
    },

    // XSRF Token header name
    xsrfHeaderName: "X-CSRF-TOKEN",
  }
</script>

Styling

Vuefinder uses the BEM (Block Element Modifier) convention for its CSS classes, with default styles applied using TailwindCSS. This structured approach helps maintain a clear and consistent naming convention for CSS classes, making it easier to understand and manage styles across the project.

To customize or update the styles, simply find the appropriate BEM class in the component’s style section and override the styles as needed.

Event	Description

update: (path: string) => void	The callback function is invoked when the user opens another folder.

Selection

There are 2 ways to select files and folders.

First one, you can use the select button in the status bar. To enable the select button, you can use the select-button prop. when you set the select-button active to true, the select button will be visible in the status bar.

<vue-finder
  id='my_vuefinder'
  :request="request"
  :select-button="handleSelectButton"
/>

<script setup>
  // other codes

  const handleSelectButton = {
    // show select button
    active: true,
    // allow multiple selection
    multiple: false,
    // handle click event
    click: (items, event) => {
      if (!items.length) {
        alert('No item selected');
        return;
      }
      alert('Selected: ' + items[0].path);
      console.log(items, event);
    }
  }
</script>

Alternatively, you can use the select event to get the selected items.

<vue-finder
  id='my_vuefinder'
  :request="request"
  @select="handleSelect"
/>

<script setup>
  // other codes
  
  // we can define a ref object to store the selected items
  const selectedFiles = ref([]);
  
  // handle select event, and store the selected items
  const handleSelect = (selection) => {
    selectedFiles.value = selection
  }
  // then with a button click, you can get the selected items easily
  // you can add this method to the click event of a button. 
  const handleButtonClick = () => {
    console.log(selectedFiles.value);
  }
</script>
