elFinder NodeJS Connector
This package allows you to use elFinder file manager with Nodejs. It currently implements LocalFileStorage only. Work is being done to allow ftp, ssh and cloud storage compatibility.
Demo
https://studio-42.github.io/elFinder/
Installation
npm install elfinder-node --save
or
yarn add elfinder-node
Usage
This package should be implemented as a middleware for Express server. You can see an example of how this package is used here.
Below is a summary of how it is used:
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 defaultURL
[Required] - the url which will be used to resolve filespath
[Required] - The location of the folderpermissions
[optional] - An object containing the file permissions. The permissions will apply to everyone if you use an object as shown in the example above. You can also use a custom function which returns an object containing the permissions. This is useful for a multi-user system.
permissions: function (path) {
if (user.canAccess(path)) {
return { read: 1, write: 1, lock: 0 };
} else return { read: 0, write: 0, lock: 1 };
};
