File component in Microsoft Graph Toolkit

  • Article

The File component is used to represent an individual file/folder from OneDrive or SharePoint. The component displays information such as the file or folder name, the file type icon, and the author and last modified date. You can provide the identifiers for a file and the component generates the query to retrieve the file based on the identifiers provided. This component can be used on its own or as part of the mgt-file-list components.

Example

The following example displays a file using the mgt-file component. You can use the code editor to see how properties change the behavior of the component.

Properties

You can use several properties to customize the component.

The following example changes the behavior of the component to fetch data from a specific query.

<mgt-file file-query="/me/drive/items/01BYE5RZZFWGWWVNHHKVHYXE3OUJHGWCT2">
</mgt-file>

The following example changes the behavior of the component to fetch data from a specific query, show three lines of information - file name, last modified date time, and file size by default - and set the file icon.

<mgt-file
  file-query="/me/drive/items/01BYE5RZZFWGWWVNHHKVHYXE3OUJHGWCT2"
  view="threeLines"
  file-icon="ICON_PATH"
></mgt-file>

The following example changes the behavior of the component to fetch data from a specific drive.

<mgt-file
  drive-id="b!-RIj2DuyvEyV1T4NlOaMHk8XkS_I8MdFlUCq1BlcjgmhRfAj3-Z8RY2VpuvV_tpd"
  item-id="01BYE5RZ5MYLM2SMX75ZBIPQZIHT6OAYPB"
></mgt-file>

The following example changes the behavior of the component to fetch data from a SharePoint site and path.

<mgt-file
  site-id="m365x214355.sharepoint.com,5a58bb09-1fba-41c1-8125-69da264370a0,9f2ec1da-0be4-4a74-9254-973f0add78fd"
  item-Path="/DemoDocs/AdminDemo"
></mgt-file>

The following example changes the behavior of the component to fetch data by insight type.

<mgt-file
  insight-type="shared"
  insight-id="AW1GxMvkOztMkJX-SCppUSRPF5EvyPDHRZVAqtQZXI4JoUXwI9_mfEWNlabr1f7aXRBWDMt2C2FDop4fP1vsUw9tRsTL5Ds7TJCV_kgqaVEkBA"
></mgt-file>

Templates

The mgt-file component supports several templates that allow you to replace certain parts of the component. To specify a template, include a <template> element inside of a component and set the data-type to one of the following values:

Data Type Data Context Description
loading none The template to render while the component is in a loading state.
no-data none The template to render when no file data is available.
default file: the file details object The default template replaces the entire component with your own.

Example of template usage
