Rich Filemanager - Node Connector

This package is a NodeJS connector for Rich File Manager. It is implemented as an api, so you can use it on a seperate server from your front-end.

Installation

npm install rich-filemanager-node --save

Usage

This connector is implemented as a middleware for Expressjs. The code sample is an express app that implements the connector

const express = require( "express" );
const filemanager = require( "rich-filemanager-node" );
const config = "/path/to/filemanager.config.json";  //Change this to the actual location of your config file
var app = express();

//Filemanager route
app.use( '/filemanager', filemanager( "/path/to/dir", config ) );
// '/filemanager' is the connector url. 
// Don't forget to set it in the api.connectorUrl of `filemanager.config.json` for the frontend

//Listen for requests
const port = process.env.PORT || 9000;
app.listen( port, function(){
    console.log ( 'App listening on port ' + port );
})

Note: config can be an object or a file path

Important

When using this connector in your project, the filemanager route must come before any body-parsing ( multer, body-parser, busboy, etc ) routes;
