Importing Data

Ionic JSON File Browser would need 2 JSON objects: Node and Entity, to generate the File Browser. An example of the JSON object is shown below.

Node JSON

[
 {
    "id": "0",
    "parent": "",
    "child": ["1", "2", "3", "4"]
 },
 {
    "id": "1",
    "parent": "0",
    "child": []
 },
 {
    "id": "2",
    "parent": "0",
    "child": []
 },
 {
    "id": "3",
    "parent": "0",
    "child": []
 },
 {
    "id": "4",
    "parent": "0",
    "child": []
 }
]

Note: An empty string on the parent field would indicate that the item does not belong to any parent.

Entity JSON

[
 {
    "id": "0",
    "name": "Rutledge",
    "type": "folder"
 },
 {
    "id": "1",
    "name": "Sybil",
    "type": "file"
 },
 {
    "id": "2",
    "name": "Wong",
    "type": "pdf"
 },
 {
    "id": "3",
    "name": "Banks",
    "type": "archive"
 },
 {
    "id": "4",
    "name": "Clarke",
    "type": "word"
 },
]

Note: The id field is corresponding to the id field in the Node JSON object.
