This is a file manager, with a beautiful and easy to use UI, that lets you segregate files based on categories and tags. The main segregation is done based on categories and you can add tags to each file. Then later on you can search based on either file name or tag.

This app does not actually create a copy of file or move it to other location, this app just indexes the files.

This is just a mini-app that I made as a project for college.

Adding files to file type recognition used in file explorer and search result of app

Find the following lines and add the type of file you want in the object:

fileTypes = {
    'default': { icon: 'help', color: 'amber darken-3' },
    'doc': { icon: 'edit', color: 'blue' },
    'docx': { icon: 'edit', color: 'blue' },
    'xls': { icon: 'grid_on', color: 'green' },
    'xlsx': { icon: 'grid_on', color: 'green' },
    'pdf': { icon: 'picture_as_pdf', color: 'red' },
    'txt': { icon: 'short_text', color: 'grey lighten-3' },
    'jpg': { icon: 'image', color: 'deep-purple' },
    'jpeg': { icon: 'image', color: 'deep-purple' },
    'png': { icon: 'image', color: 'deep-purple' },
    'ppt': { icon: 'slideshow', color: 'pink' },
    'pptx': { icon: 'slideshow', color: 'pink' },
    'zip': { icon: 'library_books', color: 'deep-orange' },
    'rar': { icon: 'library_books', color: 'deep-orange' }
};

Libraries used

Todo

  • Add filter and sorting option in search
  • Add prebuilt script to compile the .less file into .css file and inject it into the build automatically. The prebuild script will also disable developer tools if it is enabled while building.
