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

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

  const request = {
    // ----- CHANGE ME! -----

    baseUrl: "http://vuefinder-php.test",
    // ----- CHANGE ME! -----

    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;
    },

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>
  // 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>
  // 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>
