SharePoint library create a user appealing look for list of contained documents

Hi, I have a sharepoint document library with a collection of documents (pdf, word) with library fields which collects information about the document. Is there a way to make the look of the library ...

Document Library

Hi SvenSieverding,

Thanks for the reply. What you have shown seems to apply for SharePoint list rather than a document library.

When I try to edit the current view of my document library, I do not see the option to apply row wise formatting, though there is option to do this column wise. I don't see this option even when I create a new view for the document library.

Thanks

djohn20 as Sven SvenSieverding said, it works on document libraries as well. We use it on every page of our Business Management System site to display a simple but nicer view of the library documents that relate to the page:

The JSON view formatting for that is as follows:

{
  "schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/view-formatting.schema.json",
  "hideColumnHeader": true,
  "rowFormatter": {
    "elmType": "div",
    "attributes": {
      "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralDark ms-fontColor-themePrimary--hover"
    },
    "style": {
      "font-size": "18px",
      "height": "100%"
    },
    "children": [
      {
        "elmType": "img",
        "style": {
          "width": "30px",
          "height": "30px"
        },
        "attributes": {
          "src": "https://bms.sharepoint.com/:i:/r/sites/BMS/SiteAssets/train-travel-round.png?csf=1&web=1&e=r1SgnO"
        }
      },
      {
        "elmType": "span",
        "txtContent": "[$Title]",
        "style": {
          "padding-left": "8px"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
