| | | By default, it shows all folders and files on your page. To display the explorer in a different spot, you can edit the [[layout]]. |
| | | |
| | | Display names for folders get determined by the `title` frontmatter field in `folder/index.md` (more detail in [[authoring content | Authoring Content]]). If this file does not exist or does not contain frontmatter, the local folder name will be used instead. |

| | | - (optional): After removing the explorer component, you can move the [[table of contents | Table of Contents]] component back to the `left` part of the layout |

| | | ```ts title="quartz/components/ExplorerNode.tsx" {2-5} |
| | | export class FileNode { |
| | | children: FileNode[] // children of current node |
| | | name: string // name of node (only useful for folders) |
| | | file: QuartzPluginData | null // set if node is a file, see `QuartzPluginData` for more detail |

| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | sortFn: (a, b) => { |
| | | if ((!a.file && !b.file) || (a.file && b.file)) { |
| | | return a.name.localeCompare(b.name) |
| | | // sensitivity: "base": Only strings that differ in base letters compare as unequal. Examples: a โ b, a = รก, a = A |
| | | // numeric: true: Whether numeric collation should be used, such that "1" < "2" < "10" |
| | | return a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName, undefined, { |
| | | numeric: true, |
| | | sensitivity: "base", |
| | | }) |
| | | } |
| | | if (a.file && !b.file) { |
| | | return 1 |
| | |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | sortFn: (a, b) => { |
| | | if ((!a.file && !b.file) || (a.file && b.file)) { |
| | | return a.name.localeCompare(b.name) |
| | | return a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName) |
| | | } |
| | | if (a.file && !b.file) { |
| | | return -1 |
| | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | mapFn: (node) => { |
| | | node.name = node.name.toUpperCase() |
| | | node.displayName = node.displayName.toUpperCase() |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | |
| | | |
| | | You can customize this by changing the entries of the `omit` set. Simply add all folder or file names you want to remove. |
| | | |
| | | ## Advanced examples |
| | | ### Remove files by tag |
| | | |
| | | ### Add emoji prefix |
| | | |
| | | To add emoji prefixes (๐ for folders, ๐ for files), you could use a map function like this: |
| | | You can access the frontmatter of a file by `node.file?.frontmatter?`. This allows you to filter out files based on their frontmatter, for example by their tags. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | mapFn: (node) => { |
| | | // dont change name of root node |
| | | if (node.depth > 0) { |
| | | // set emoji for file/folder |
| | | if (node.file) { |
| | | node.name = "๐ " + node.name |
| | | } else { |
| | | node.name = "๐ " + node.name |
| | | } |
| | | } |
| | | filterFn: (node) => { |
| | | // exclude files with the tag "explorerexclude" |
| | | return node.file?.frontmatter?.tags?.includes("explorerexclude") !== true |
| | | }, |
| | | }}) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Putting it all together |
| | | |
| | | In this example, we're going to customize the explorer by using functions from examples above to [[#Add emoji prefix | add emoji prefixes]], [[#remove-list-of-elements-filter| filter out some folders]] and [[#use-sort-to-put-files-first | sort with files above folders]]. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | filterFn: sampleFilterFn, |
| | | mapFn: sampleMapFn, |
| | | sortFn: sampleSortFn, |
| | | order: ["filter", "sort", "map"], |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | Notice how we customized the `order` array here. This is done because the default order applies the `sort` function last. While this normally works well, it would cause unintended behavior here, since we changed the first characters of all display names. In our example, `sort` would be applied based off the emoji prefix instead of the first _real_ character. |
| | | ### Show every element in explorer |
| | | |
| | | To fix this, we just changed around the order and apply the `sort` function before changing the display names in the `map` function. |
| | | To override the default filter function that removes the `tags` folder from the explorer, you can set the filter function to `undefined`. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | filterFn: undefined, // apply no filter function, every file and folder will visible |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ## Advanced examples |
| | | |
| | | > [!tip] |
| | | > When writing more complicated functions, the `layout` file can start to look very cramped. |
| | |
| | | > sortFn: sortFn, |
| | | > }) |
| | | > ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Add emoji prefix |
| | | |
| | | To add emoji prefixes (๐ for folders, ๐ for files), you could use a map function like this: |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | mapFn: (node) => { |
| | | // dont change name of root node |
| | | if (node.depth > 0) { |
| | | // set emoji for file/folder |
| | | if (node.file) { |
| | | node.displayName = "๐ " + node.displayName |
| | | } else { |
| | | node.displayName = "๐ " + node.displayName |
| | | } |
| | | } |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Putting it all together |
| | | |
| | | In this example, we're going to customize the explorer by using functions from examples above to [[#Add emoji prefix | add emoji prefixes]], [[#remove-list-of-elements-filter| filter out some folders]] and [[#use-sort-to-put-files-first | sort with files above folders]]. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | filterFn: sampleFilterFn, |
| | | mapFn: sampleMapFn, |
| | | sortFn: sampleSortFn, |
| | | order: ["filter", "sort", "map"], |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | Notice how we customized the `order` array here. This is done because the default order applies the `sort` function last. While this normally works well, it would cause unintended behavior here, since we changed the first characters of all display names. In our example, `sort` would be applied based off the emoji prefix instead of the first _real_ character. |
| | | |
| | | To fix this, we just changed around the order and apply the `sort` function before changing the display names in the `map` function. |
| | | |
| | | ### Use `sort` with pre-defined sort order |
| | | |
| | | Here's another example where a map containing file/folder names (as slugs) is used to define the sort order of the explorer in quartz. All files/folders that aren't listed inside of `nameOrderMap` will appear at the top of that folders hierarchy level. |
| | | |
| | | It's also worth mentioning, that the smaller the number set in `nameOrderMap`, the higher up the entry will be in the explorer. Incrementing every folder/file by 100, makes ordering files in their folders a lot easier. Lastly, this example still allows you to use a `mapFn` or frontmatter titles to change display names, as it uses slugs for `nameOrderMap` (which is unaffected by display name changes). |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | sortFn: (a, b) => { |
| | | const nameOrderMap: Record<string, number> = { |
| | | "poetry-folder": 100, |
| | | "essay-folder": 200, |
| | | "research-paper-file": 201, |
| | | "dinosaur-fossils-file": 300, |
| | | "other-folder": 400, |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | let orderA = 0 |
| | | let orderB = 0 |
| | | |
| | | if (a.file && a.file.slug) { |
| | | orderA = nameOrderMap[a.file.slug] || 0 |
| | | } else if (a.name) { |
| | | orderA = nameOrderMap[a.name] || 0 |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | if (b.file && b.file.slug) { |
| | | orderB = nameOrderMap[b.file.slug] || 0 |
| | | } else if (b.name) { |
| | | orderB = nameOrderMap[b.name] || 0 |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | return orderA - orderB |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | For reference, this is how the quartz explorer window would look like with that example: |
| | | |
| | | ``` |
| | | ๐ Poetry Folder |
| | | ๐ Essay Folder |
| | | โ๏ธ Research Paper File |
| | | ๐ฆด Dinosaur Fossils File |
| | | ๐ฎ Other Folder |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | And this is how the file structure would look like: |
| | | |
| | | ``` |
| | | index.md |
| | | poetry-folder |
| | | index.md |
| | | essay-folder |
| | | index.md |
| | | research-paper-file.md |
| | | dinosaur-fossils-file.md |
| | | other-folder |
| | | index.md |
| | | ``` |
