React Taxonomy File Explorer

Summary

This solution renders a given Termset as a Tree and incorporates files similar than a folder structure in file explorer. Benefit: Due to multiple selection in the managed metadata column the same file can occur more than once. Additionally with drag and drop options the file can be changed:

  • By replacing the managed metadata column with the target term (Move)
  • By adding the target term to the managed metadata column (Link)
  • By copying the file to a new one with (only) the target term in the managed metadata column (Copy)

In action this looks like:

Link:

Adding the target term to the managed metadata column (Link)

Move:

Copy:

Copying the file to a new one with (only) the target term in the managed metadata column (Copy)
