A Basic Tree
The most basic use of the treeview consists of giving it some data and letting the tree populate the model with the default tree node properties, which it does by adding a treeNodeSpec property to each object in the hierarchy. This can be useful if you have a model and want it in a treeview, and also don’t care if the treeview modifies that data. If you don’t want the treeview to modify your data at all, you’ll need to make a copy first and provide that to the treeview.
<tree id="customtree-basic" :initial-model="model"></tree>
<tree id="customtree-basic" :initial-model="model"></tree> <div id="app-basic" class="demo-tree">
<tree id="customtree-basic" :initial-model="model"></tree>
</div>
<script type='module'>
import TreeView from "@grapoza/vue-tree"
new Vue({
components: {
tree: TreeView
},
data() {
return {
model: [
{
id: "node1",
label: "Node with no children"
},
{
id: "node2",
label: "Node with a child",
children: [
{
id: "childNode1",
label: "A child node"
}
]
}
]
};
}
}).$mount('#app-basic');
</script>A Static Tree
If all you need is a static tree (no expanding subnodes) then you can just set the expandable property to false for each node. You can then just set the expanded property through code to hide/show children of a node as needed. The most common case is to always set it to true for all nodes.
<tree id="customtree-static" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
<tree id="customtree-static" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree> <div id="app-static" class="demo-tree">
<tree id="customtree-static" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
</div>
<script type='module'>
import TreeView from "@grapoza/vue-tree"
new Vue({
components: {
tree: TreeView
},
data() {
return {
model: [
{
id: "node1",
label: "Node with no children"
},
{
id: "node2",
label: "Node with a child",
children: [
{
id: "childNode1",
label: "A child node"
}
]
}
],
modelDefaults: {
expandable: false,
state: {
expanded: true
}
}
};
}
}).$mount('#app-static');
</script>Setting Defaults
If there are common settings that should be used by all (or even most) nodes, these can be given to the tree in the modelDefaults property. This is a great place to customize things like what model props are used for the nodes’ labels and whether all nodes are a certain type of input. Note that the expandable node below is expanded by default, as set from modelDefaults. The tree below uses the identifier and description properties of the node objects instead of id and label, and has all nodes expanded by default. These are set for all nodes at once by using modelDefaults. For more info, see the docs.
<tree id="customtree-custom" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
<tree id="customtree-custom" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree> <div id="app-custom" class="demo-tree">

</div>

import TreeView from "@grapoza/vue-tree"
new Vue({
components: {
tree: TreeView
},
data() {
return {
model: [
{
identifier: "node1",
description: "Node with no children"
},
{
identifier: "node2",
description: "Node with a child",
children: [
{
identifier: "childNode1",
description: "A child node"
}
]
}
],
modelDefaults: {
idProperty: 'identifier',
labelProperty: 'description',
state: {
expanded: true
}
}
};
}
}).$mount('#app-custom');
</script>Adding and Removing Nodes
Any node can be marked as deletable or provide a callback used to create a new child node. To make a node deletable, just set a deletable property to true in that node’s treeNodeSpec. To allow a node to have children added, set an addChildCallback property on the node’s treeNodeSpec (or use modelDefaults to use the same callback for all nodes). The addChildCallback can take the parent node’s model data as an argument, and should return a Promise that resolves to the node data to add.
<tree id="customtree-add-remove" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
<tree id="customtree-add-remove" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree> <div id="app-add-remove" class="demo-tree">

</div>
<script type='module'>
import TreeView from "@grapoza/vue-tree"
new Vue({
components: {
tree: TreeView
},
data() {
return {
childCounter: 0,
model: [
{
id: "add-remove-rootnode",
label: "Root Node"
}
],
modelDefaults: {
addChildCallback: this.addChildCallback,
addChildTitle: 'Add a new child node',
deleteTitle: 'Delete this node',
expanderTitle: 'Expand this node'
}
};
},
methods: {
addChildCallback(parentModel) {
this.childCounter++;
return Promise.resolve({
id: `add-remove-child-node-${this.childCounter}`,
label: `Added Child ${this.childCounter}`,
treeNodeSpec: { deletable: true }
});
}
}
}).$mount('#app-add-remove');
</script>Inputs
Support for checkboxes and radio buttons is built into the treeview.
To create a checkbox node, specify input.type = 'checkbox' on the node’s treeNodeSpec. To initialize the node as checked, specify state.input.value = true.
To create a radio button node, specify input.type = 'radio' on the node’s treeNodeSpec, give the node a name using the input.name property, and give the node a value using input.value. The name will determine the radio button group to which the radio button belongs. To initialize a node as checked set the node’s input.isInitialRadioGroupValue to true. If multiple nodes within a radio button group are specified as isInitialRadioGroupValue, the last one in wins.
The convenience methods getCheckedRadioButtons and getCheckedCheckboxes are exposed on the tree component to make it easy to get the nodes that have been checked.

Selection
Any node can be marked as selectable. To set a node’s selectability, set a selectable property to true or false (the default) in that node’s treeNodeSpec. Different selection modes allow different selection behavior, but only affect nodes that are selectable.
The convenience method getSelected is exposed on the tree component to make it easy to get the nodes that have been selected. For more info see the docs.

Slots
A treeview has slots available for replacing specific types of nodes. The text, checkbox, radio, loading-root and loading slots replace the correpsonding types of nodes. For more info, see the docs.

</script>Asynchronous Loading
Two types of asynchronous loading are available. The first loads the root data for the treeview itself, and the second asynchronously loads child data when a node is expanded.
You can load root nodes asynchronously by providing a function to the loadNodesAsync property of the treeview. The function should return a Promise that resolves to an array of model data to add as root nodes.
You can load child nodes asynchronously by providing a function to the loadChildrenAsync property in a node’s treeNodeSpec (or use modelDefaults to use the same method for all nodes). The function can take the parent node’s model data as an argument, and should return a Promise that resolves to an array of model data to add as children.

return {
modelDefaults: {
loadChildrenAsync: this.loadChildrenAsync,
deleteTitle: 'Delete this node',
expanderTitle: 'Expand this node'

async loadChildrenAsync(parentModel) {
const id = Date.now();
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve.bind(null, [

label: `Child ${id}-1`
},
{
id: `async-child-node-${id}-2`,
label: `Child ${id}-2`,
treeNodeSpec: { deletable: true }
}
]), 1000));
},
async loadNodesAsync() {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve.bind(null, [
{
id: "async-rootnode",
label: "Root Node"
}
]), 1000));
}
}
}).$mount('#app-async');
</script>Custom Styles
Custom styling is achieved through a combination of using the customizations property of TreeViewNode data to apply custom styles to parts of nodes, along with a custom skinStyle TreeView prop and associated stylesheet. Of course, you could also just write some very specific selectors to override the default styles. For more info, see the docs.
First, let’s look at the default styles. There’s not much to see here, since the intention is for the user to handle styling the treeview while the component focuses on creating a workable structure. Things generally line up right, but not much more can be said for it.
<tree id="customtree-default" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
<tree id="customtree-default" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree> <div id="app-custom-default" class="demo-tree">
<tree id="customtree-default" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
</div>
<script type='module'>
import TreeView from "@grapoza/vue-tree"
new Vue({
components: {
tree: TreeView
},
data() {
return {
childCounter: 0,
model: [
{
id: 'rootNode',
label: 'Root Node',
children: [
{
id: 'subNode',
label: 'Subnode'
}
]
}
],
modelDefaults: {
addChildCallback: this.addChildCallback,
addChildTitle: 'Add a new child node',
deleteTitle: 'Delete this node',
expanderTitle: 'Expand this node'
}
};
},
methods: {
addChildCallback(parentModel) {
this.childCounter++;
return Promise.resolve({ id: `child-node${this.childCounter}`, label: `Added Child ${this.childCounter}`, treeNodeSpec: { deletable: true } });
}
}
}).$mount('#app-custom-default');
</script>Some simple customizations can be done by applying custom classes to various parts of the tree using the customizations property, most likely in the modelDefaults parameter of the TreeView itself. In this example, customizations.classes.treeViewNodeSelfText is given a value of big-text. The big-text class is defined in a classbased.css stylesheet.
<tree id="customtree-classbased" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
<tree id="customtree-classbased" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree> <div id="app-custom-classbased" class="demo-tree">
<tree id="customtree-classbased" :initial-model="model" :model-defaults="modelDefaults"></tree>
</div>
<script type='module'>
import TreeView from "@grapoza/vue-tree"
new Vue({
components: {
tree: TreeView
},
data() {
return {
childCounter: 0,
model: [
{
id: 'rootNode',
label: 'Root Node',
children: [
{
id: 'subNode',
label: 'Subnode'
}
]
}
],
modelDefaults: {
addChildCallback: this.addChildCallback,
addChildTitle: 'Add a new child node',
deleteTitle: 'Delete this node',
expanderTitle: 'Expand this node',
customizations: {
classes: {
treeViewNodeSelf: 'large-line',
treeViewNodeSelfText: 'big-text'
}
}
}
};
},
methods: {
addChildCallback(parentModel) {
this.childCounter++;
return Promise.resolve({ id: `child-node${this.childCounter}`, label: `Added Child ${this.childCounter}`, treeNodeSpec: { deletable: true } });
}
}
}).$mount('#app-custom-classbased');
</script>In the next example, a treeview has been given a skin-class prop value of grayscale. This effectively swaps out a class named grtv-default-skin on the TreeView for the one specified as the skin-class. This completely removes the default styling. To provide new styles, a new stylesheet was created based on the default styles (copied right from the browser). This gives complete control of the styling, allowing for easier usage of things like Font Awesome as seen here.

</script>Drag and Drop
You can drag a node that has the draggable property in a node’s treeNodeSpec set to true. Any node with allowDrop set to true in the treeNodeSpec can accept a drop from any TreeView.
