View Routes

View Routes on Zipline allow you to customize the appearance of files when they are viewed through the browser. By this we mean that instead of just showing the raw file and letting the browser handle it, the file is rendered in a more "user-friendly" way.

There is an option to download it, and clicking on the image/video, etc. will enlarge it within the page.

1. Go to your Zipline dashboard, and head over to the your user settings in the top right corner.
2. Scroll down to the View Routes section.
3. Toggle the Enable View Routes option to enable view routes.

Additionally, you can enable the Show Mimetype option, to show the mimetype of the file at the top of the page (e.g. image/png).

You can add custom text to the view route page by entering it into the View Content text field. This text will be displayed below the file preview.

Here are some examples of what you can do with the View Content field:

• <h3>{file.name} was uploaded at {file.createdAt::locale}</h3> - Displays the name of the file and the date it was uploaded.

For more information on the available variables, see the Variables guide.

This option allows you to change the alignment of the View Content text. You can choose between Left, Center, and Right.
