## Details

'FolderCreateDirective' directive needs the id of the parent folder where we want the new folder node to be created. If no value is provided, the '-my-' alias is used.
It opens the FolderDialogComponent to receive data for the new folder. If data is valid, on dialog close, it emits folderCreate event.
