File Manager

The File Manager allows developers to manage the file structure of their application directly within the IDE. It provides access to all folders and files located under the /webapp/ directory, which includes assets, templates, and static resources used by the application.

You can use it for uploading and organizing additional files such as stylesheets, JavaScript scripts, images, and documents—without requiring direct access to the file system or deployment infrastructure.

ZIP File Upload & Extraction

When you upload a ZIP archive through the File Manager, it will appear in the file list with an Unzip button next to it. Clicking this button will extract the contents of the ZIP file directly into the current folder.

This feature is useful for:

  • Uploading entire directories of assets (e.g., CSS frameworks, JavaScript plugins).
  • Migrating static sites or bulk resource files.
  • Quickly setting up new asset packs without manually uploading individual files.

After extraction, all files and folders inside the ZIP will be immediately accessible under the current directory in /webapp.
