using JQuery fileTree for Apache Cordova application

Question

I am trying to use this File Tree For my Apache Cordova Application.

As it cannot contain any server side scripts, the script must be placed into a seperate project and be called from the client side (apache cordova app).

So that means I need to call the script with Ajax jquery and display the files.

How do I do it using this JqueryFile browser JQuery fileTree?

Answer 1

I can suggest 2 approaches.

1) Use Cordova File api to get a list of directories/files to render a file tree in your JS application(i.e. Populate jQuery file tree) http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/cordova_file_file.md.html#DirectoryReader

2) I have not used this plugin myself, but you can use a Cordova plugin like below to access the native file system:

Cordova Plugin File

You can not run a JavaScript library on the native side, you'd need to write code in ObjectiveC/Swift for iOS or Java for Android and create a plugin like above.
