## Advanced customization
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This component allows you to fully customize all of its behavior. You can pass a custom `sort`, `filter` and `map` function.
 | 
			
		||||
All functions you can pass work with the `FileNode` class, which has the following properties:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```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
 | 
			
		||||
  depth: number // depth of current node
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
  ... // rest of implementation
 | 
			
		||||
}
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Every function you can pass is optional. By default, only a `sort` function will be used:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```ts title="Default sort function"
 | 
			
		||||
// Sort order: folders first, then files. Sort folders and files alphabetically
 | 
			
		||||
Component.Explorer({
 | 
			
		||||
  sortFn: (a, b) => {
 | 
			
		||||
    if ((!a.file && !b.file) || (a.file && b.file)) {
 | 
			
		||||
      return a.name.localeCompare(b.name)
 | 
			
		||||
    }
 | 
			
		||||
    if (a.file && !b.file) {
 | 
			
		||||
      return 1
 | 
			
		||||
    } else {
 | 
			
		||||
      return -1
 | 
			
		||||
    }
 | 
			
		||||
  },
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
---
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
You can pass your own functions for `sortFn`, `filterFn` and `mapFn`. All functions will be executed in the order provided by the `order` option (see [[explorer#Customization]]). These functions behave similarly to their `Array.prototype` counterpart, except they modify the entire `FileNode` tree in place instead of returning a new one.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For more information on how to use `sort`, `filter` and `map`, you can check [Array.prototype.sort()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort), [Array.prototype.filter()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter) and [Array.prototype.map()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Type definitions look like this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```ts
 | 
			
		||||
sortFn: (a: FileNode, b: FileNode) => number
 | 
			
		||||
filterFn: (node: FileNode) => boolean
 | 
			
		||||
mapFn: (node: FileNode) => void
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
> [!tip]
 | 
			
		||||
> You can check if a `FileNode` is a folder or a file like this:
 | 
			
		||||
>
 | 
			
		||||
> ```ts
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||

		||||
> } else {
 | 
			
		||||
>   // node is a folder
 | 
			
		||||
> }
 | 
			
		||||
> ```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Basic examples
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
These examples show the basic usage of `sort`, `map` and `filter`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Use `sort` to put files first
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Using this example, the explorer will alphabetically sort everything, but put all **files** above all **folders**.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
 | 
			
		||||
Component.Explorer({
 | 
			
		||||
  sortFn: (a, b) => {
 | 
			
		||||
    if ((!a.file && !b.file) || (a.file && b.file)) {
 | 
			
		||||
      return a.name.localeCompare(b.name)
 | 
			
		||||
    }
 | 
			
		||||
    if (a.file && !b.file) {
 | 
			
		||||
      return -1
 | 
			
		||||
    } else {
 | 
			
		||||
      return 1
 | 
			
		||||
    }
 | 
			
		||||
  },
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Change display names (`map`)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Using this example, the display names of all `FileNodes` (folders + files) will be converted to full upper case.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
 | 
			
		||||
Component.Explorer({
 | 
			
		||||
  mapFn: (node) => {
 | 
			
		||||
    node.name = node.name.toUpperCase()
 | 
			
		||||
  },
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Remove list of elements (`filter`)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Using this example, you can remove elements from your explorer by providing a list of folders/files using the `list` array.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
 | 
			
		||||
Component.Explorer({
 | 
			
		||||
  filterFn: (node) => {
 | 
			
		||||
    // list containing names of everything you want to filter out
 | 
			
		||||
    const list = ["authoring content", "building your", "tags", "hosting"]
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    for (let listNodeName of list) {
 | 
			
		||||
      if (listNodeName.toLowerCase() === node.name.toLowerCase()) {
 | 
			
		||||
        return false // Found a match, so return false to filter out the node
 | 
			
		||||
      }
 | 
			
		||||
    }
 | 
			
		||||
    return true // No match found, so return true to keep the node
 | 
			
		||||
  },
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
You can customize this by changing the entries of the `list` array. Simply add all folder or file names you want to remove to the array (case insensitive).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Advanced examples
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Add emoji prefix
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To add emoji prefixes (📁 for folders, 📄 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.name = "📄 " + node.name
 | 
			
		||||
      } else {
 | 
			
		||||
        node.name = "📁 " + node.name
 | 
			
		||||
      }
 | 
			
		||||
    }
 | 
			
		||||
  },
 | 
			
		||||
}})
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Putting it all together
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In this example, we're going to customize the explorer by using functions from examples above to [[explorer#Add emoji prefix | add emoji prefixes]], [[explorer#remove-list-of-elements-filter| filter out some folders]] and [[explorer#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.

 | 
			
		||||
>   mapFn: mapFn,
 | 
			
		||||
>   filterFn: filterFn,
 | 
			
		||||
>   sortFn: sortFn,
 | 
			
		||||
> })
 | 
			
		||||
> ```
