## Details
### Integrating with DocumentList component
Below is the most simple integration of Viewer and DocumentList components within your custom component:
```html
```
And the component controller class implementation can look like the following:
```ts
export class OverlayViewerComponent {
@Input()
showViewer: boolean = false;
nodeId: string;
showPreview(event) {
if (event.value.entry.isFile) {
this.nodeId = event.value.entry.id;
this.showViewer = true;
}
}
}
```
### Custom file parameters
You can provide custom file parameters, for example a value for the `mimeType` or `displayName` when using URL values that have no file names or extensions:
```html
```
### Supported file formats
| Type | Extension |
| ---- | --------- |
| Media | wav, Mp3, Mp4, WebM, Ogv |
| Images | png, jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp |
| Text | pdf, txt |
### PDF Conversion
For unsupported extensions or mime types the viewer will try to fetch PDF rendition utilising the [renditions service api](https://community.alfresco.com/docs/DOC-5879-rendition-service)
### Configuring PDF.js library
In order to configure your webpack-enabled application with the PDF.js library please follow the next steps.
Install pdfjs-dist
```sh
npm install pdfjs-dist
```
Update `vendors.ts` by appending the following:
```ts
// PDF.js
require('pdfjs-dist/web/compatibility.js');
const pdfjsLib = require('pdfjs-dist');
pdfjsLib.PDFJS.workerSrc = './pdf.worker.js';
require('pdfjs-dist/web/pdf_viewer.js');
```
The code above enables the "viewer" component and "compatibility" mode for all the browsers.
It also configures the web worker for PDF.js library to render PDF files in the background.
Update the `plugins` section of the `webpack.common.js` file with the next lines:
```js
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
...
{
from: 'node_modules/pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.js',
to: 'pdf.worker.js'
}
])
```
The Viewer component now should be able displaying PDF files.
### Custom toolbar
You can replace standard viewer toolbar with your custom implementation.
```html
toolbar
```
Everything you put inside the "adf-viewer-toolbar" tags is going to be rendered instead of the toolbar.
### Custom sidebar
The Viewer component also supports custom sidebar components and layouts.
The `allowSidebar` property should be set to `true` to enable this feature.
Custom sidebar for the viewer can be injected in two different ways:
- using transclusion
- using template **(only works when using the viewer with fileNodeId)**
#### Using transclusion
```html
My info
```
Everything you put inside the "adf-viewer-sidebar" tags is going to be rendered.
#### Using template injection (only works when using the viewer with fileNodeId)
```html
```
### Custom "Open With" menu
You can enable custom "Open With" menu by providing at least one action inside the "adf-viewer-open-with" tag:
```html
```

### Custom "More actions" menu
You can enable custom "More actions" menu by providing at least one action inside the "adf-viewer-more-actions" tag:
```html
```

### Extending the Viewer
If you want to handle other file formats that are not yet supported by the Viewer component,
you can define your own custom handler.
Below you can find an example with the use of `adf-viewer-extension` if you can handle 3d files
```html
```
Note: you need adding `ng2-3d-editor` dependency to your `package.json` file to make the example above work.
It is possible to define multiple `adf-viewer-extension` templates:
```html
```
