Elfinder select folder as well as file in standalone popup

Question

I am using elfinder as a file manager in one of my laravel project using barryvdh-elfinder package. I am using its standalone popup to let the user choose a file from existing files. But I want them to be able to choose folders as well. I can't seem to make it work.

Can anyone help me solve this problem. thanks.

As guided by Tiago A. ( thanks to him :) )we can use folder : true in commandsOptions while initializing elfinder like this:

$('#elfinder').elfinder({
            // set your elFinder options here
            customData: {
                _token: '<?= csrf_token() ?>'
            },
            url: '<?= URL::action('Barryvdh\Elfinder\ElfinderController@showConnector') ?>',  // connector URL
            dialog: {width: 900, modal: true, title: 'Select a file'},
            resizable: false,
            commandsOptions: {
                getfile: {
                    oncomplete: 'destroy',
                    folders  : true
                }
            },
            getFileCallback: function (file) {
                window.parent.processSelectedFile(file.path, '<?= $input_id?>');
                parent.jQuery.colorbox.close();
            }
        }).elfinder('instance');
