Hi,
I have this app that has a custom search provider, it returns a list of files IDs. I want to show the list on the front end, but the list would end-up being exactly the same as the integrated “Files” app.
Can I just reuse the Files functionality?
I was thinking something like this:
var fileList = MyApp.getfiles(param1, param2);
var nc_files = new Files(); // Nextcloud Files
nc_files.filter(fileList);
nc_files.render(); // here the Files would render itself with only the files from fileList
Another option would be to redirect users to Files app but passing the IDs in the URL.
var fileList = MyApp.getfiles(param1, param2);
var redirURI = uri(path("/apps/files"));
redirURI.addQuery("q", "filterfiles");
redirURI.addQuery("IDs", fileList);
redirect(redirURI);
The code above would then open the browser at
https://nextcloud.example.com/apps/files?q=filterfiles&IDs=23,8729
And the Files app would show the list, but only with the files in IDs list.
I would be happy with either solutions, render directly from Files or open a new browser tab with Files filtered.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bruno
