We can definitely point you towards the right directions so that you can pick out the correct parts to convert your trailer to electric over hydraulic disc, but you will need to first know what hubs you have on your spindle so that we can build the setup from there.
If you check out the link I attached you will see a help article we put together that will walk you through the entire process.
When it comes time to pick out a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 # 90885 and then for an actuator the Hydrastar part # HBA16 as both of these products have worked the best for us.
