Migrations

You need to do the migration

You need to connect the module of the backend part app.\jakharbek\filemanager\backend\Module

You need to add parameters to the application in the file. example

thumbs - thumbnails images
images_ext - images ext
use_file_name - When uploading a file, whether to use the file name in the file download or create a hash
use_queue - When uploading a file, is it necessary to use a queue to load some photos in the background mode?

Apply DI (dependency injection)

There is a class \jakharbek\filemanager\bootstrap\SetUp you need to apply it to the initial download of the application as an example.

Ways to use

There are two ways to use you can use using a relation in a database or a column in a table:

Method use via the relation

Suppose you have a junction table for example

And let's say you have the appropriate relational methods in Active Record

And now you need to apply special behavior jakharbek\filemanager\behaviors\FileRelationBehavior for such cases.

For example:

You will need to create a property for exchanging data between the form and the model in case it found file_image

or

Next, you need to add this property file_image to the rules of the model as safe. For example:

Now you can apply a file load/upload widget jakharbek\filemanager\widgets\FileInput for this field.

For example

Use without a junction table

I assume that you already have fields in the table for storing file identifiers there. The type of this column should be a string, since file identifiers will be stored there through a separator for example we have images column for posts table

In this case, you can immediately use the widget without any model settings.

For example:

Use in CKEditor

To use the plug-in file manager in the editor, you need to specify this plug-in in the settings as shown in the example. For example:

After you need to run once this code to launch a modal window when you click a button in the editor

Helpers

You have to help the class jakharbek\filemanager\helpers\FileManagerHelper There is one method that you will often use in my opinion:FileManagerHelper::getFilesById

API

The extension has an API, you can connect it and get access to the file manager via the API jakharbek\filemanager\api\FilesController
If you need an action of this controller, you can use them by looking at the action method of this class.
