Definition

Files (for download) are defined in the contributions.json file. A file is described by the following JSON:

{
  "id":           "string",   // required
  "file":         "string",   // required
  "description":  "string"    // optional
}

• id Used for referencing the file.
• file The relative path to the file.
• description An optional description, mainly used for administrators.

Example

contributions.json

The following snippet defines a file for download:

{
...
  "contributions": {
    "files": [
      {
        "id": "fileId",
        "file": "files/my-excel-file.xlsx",
        "description": "This is a custom file for download."
      }
    ]
  }
}

In a view, a link to the file can be generated by using the SCIFEON.Utils-object:

<template>
    <div class="page-with-header">

        <div class="page-header">
            <h1>Scifeon Skeleton App</h1>
        </div>

        <div class="page-panels">
            <p>Download file, by path reference: <a href="${ SCIFEON.Utils.getFileUrl('/files/my-excel-file.xlsx') }">my-excel-file.xlsx</a></p>
            <p>...or by ID reference: <a href="${ SCIFEON.Utils.getFileUrl('fileId') }">my-excel-file.xlsx</a></p>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>
