Is it possible creating file explorer app in angular?

ie creating folders,renaming folders,creating file etc . Or it is possible only by node or backend languages?

Client-side JavaScript (run from a conventional browser) cannot really access the file system. As you can read below, scripts run in a sandbox in which they can only perform web-related actions, not general-purpose programming tasks like creating files.

@itzbrinth It’s definitely possible using Electron. You can build your app in Angular, with a Node backend and deploy it as a standalone cross platform executable. Slack, Discord, Visual Studio Code, etc. all use it. It was actually built to run Atom, which has a file explorer built in.
