Coral Ui - Restricting the root path for assetpicker

[anshumank367659]

How can we restrict the root path for the assetpicker (coral ui) to pick assets from a designated root path (some folder under dam) only.

Please also suggest me good sources to read concepts on coral ui.

Which AEM version are you using? Also are you taking about http://localhost:4502/aem/assetpicker.html  ?

I am using AEM 6.3, yes correct it is the same component that i have implemented using coral ui in render.jsp.

Is there any answer to this ?

In 6.2 I had a clientlib that did

            Granite.author.ui.assetFinder.registry.Images.searchRoot = data.restrict;

            Granite.author.ui.assetFinder.registry.Images.setSearchPath(data.restrict);

            $('.coral-InputGroup-input.coral-Textfield.js-coral-pathbrowser-input[name=assetfilter_image_path]').val(data.restrict);

            Granite.author.ui.assetFinder.utilsCommons.loadAssets(false);

where data.restrict is the path i want to set the filter to

This doesn't work in 6.3, even though i can see the page code is calling the loadAssets(false) it isn't updating the images

I managed to get it working with the following code.

             Granite.author.ui.assetFinder.registry.Images.searchRoot = data.restrict;

            Granite.author.ui.assetFinder.registry.Images.setSearchPath(data.restrict);

            $('foundation-autocomplete.coral-Form-field.assetfilter.path').val(data.restrict);

            Granite.author.ui.assetFinder.utilsCommons.loadAssets(false);
