Async operation in filemanager

Webix JS
#1

Can filemanager do operation asynchronously? Move, copy, upload…

#2

By default, all requests for these features are performed in the asynchronous mode.

#3

Thank you! How I can switch between those modes?

#4

AJAX operations are described here.

Sync ajax call can be set as

webix.ajax().sync().get("some.php");

You can define it through the custom proxy in request handlers. Here’s a quick sample of such notation for datatable:

#5

Can I set proxy for other operations: uplod, copy, delete, rename?

#6

Sure, each handler can have its own proxy.

Please check the sample: http://webix.com/snippet/0048bff6

#7

Unfortunatly, proxy doesn’t work for upload handler.
I always get error:
POST https://localhost/MyProjectName/Documents/[object%20Object] 404 (Not Found)

Sorry, my bad - proxy objects do not work with file uploading, this is a known limitation.

Can you share a bit more info about your use-case, why the proxy is necessary for the file uploading? As far as I can see, there are not so many ways how a file can be sent to the server-side.

#9

I want to control uploading of multiple files. For instance - I want to know that files was uploaded from one modal dialog window. Or I want to send request to server before upload one file from group of uploading files and after that make decision - upload this file or skip its.

Hi,

You can handle the onBeforeFileAdd og the File Manager uploader to execute custom logic before uploading.

$$("files").getUploader().attachEvent("onBeforeFileAdd", function(file_struct){
   //if file is ok, send it back to Uploader to start loading
   this.addFile(file_struct.file);
   //cancel default logic
   return false;
});
