How to achieve file browser in input component (Talend Component Kit)

Safus — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 14:45:42 GMT

Hi,

is there a tutorial or an example which implements a file browser to peek a file or folder in TKC ?

Declaring the field as java.io.File does nothing special to the component's UI. The Field appears as a simple text input field.

Best Regards

Looks like this is currently not supported.

Hi @safouane BEN MANSOUR,

Oleksandr is right, that's not supported yet!

As a workaround, you may use the @Suggestable annotation ( https://talend.github.io/component-runtime/main/1.29.0/ref-actions.html#_suggestions )

But, keep in mind that actions should be the more lightweight as possible and this kind of thing could be cumbersome...
