This repository contains the IBM Cloud Object Storage file provider used for Syncfusion File Manager component.

The IBM Cloud Object Storage file provider module allows you work with the IBM Cloud Object Storage. It also provides the methods for performing various file actions such as creating a new folder, renaming files, and deleting files.

The IBM Cloud Object Storage file provider serves the file providers support for the File Manager component with the IBM Cloud Object Storage.

The following actions can be performed in IBM Cloud Object Storage file provider.

To run the service, create an IBM Cloud Object Storage for accessing and storing the cloud objects as files or folders. Create an IBM Cloud account and then create Cloud Object Storage bucket to perform the file operations. Then, define the server credentials details such as bucketname, endpoint, apiKeyId, and serviceInstanceId within the config/default.json file found in the config folder as the following code snippet.

"bucketName": "Files",
"endpoint": "s3.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cloud",
"apiKeyId": "GMxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKGX",
"serviceInstanceId": "cxxn:v1:xxxxxxxxx:cloud-object-storage:xxxxxxxx:a/1651281f453343434e69c7fb70f38cd59b9:xxxxxxx-09xxe-xx-xxxx-a85eexxxxxaaf2e::"

To access the basic actions such as Read, Delete, Copy, Move, Rename, Search, and Get Details of File Manager using IBM Cloud Object Storage file provider, map the following code snippet in the AjaxSettings property of File Manager.

Here, the hostUrl will be your locally hosted port number.

  var hostUrl = http://localhost:8090/;
        ajaxSettings: {
            url: hostUrl,
        }

To perform download operation, initialize the downloadUrl property in AjaxSettings of the File Manager component.

  var hostUrl = http://localhost:8090/;
  ajaxSettings: {
            url: hostUrl,
            downloadUrl: hostUrl + 'Download'
        },

To perform upload operation, initialize the uploadUrl property in AjaxSettings of the File Manager component.

  var hostUrl = http://localhost:8090/;
  ajaxSettings: {
            url: hostUrl,
            uploadUrl: hostUrl + 'Upload'
        },

To perform image preview support in the File Manager component, initialize the getImageUrl property in AjaxSettings of the File Manager component.

  var hostUrl = http://localhost:8090/;
  ajaxSettings: {
            url: hostUrl,
            getImageUrl: hostUrl + 'GetImage'
