Getting Started

Install

You can install using yarn:

$ yarn add vuejs-tree

or with npm:

$ npm install vuejs-tree

Usage

Add the following lines at the top of your .js file which contains your Vue instance.

  import Tree from 'vuejs-tree'


  // in your vue instance
  components: {
    'Tree': Tree
  },

Then add the following line in your html file to generate a tree. You can have as many trees per page as you want.

  <Tree id="my-tree-id" ref="my-tree-ref" :custom-options="myCustomOptions" :custom-styles="myCustomStyles" :nodes="treeDisplayData"></Tree>

Data Structure

You need to define data to display which is a nested array of hash.

Example:

data: {
  treeDisplayData: [
    {
      text: 'Root 1',
      state: { checked: false, selected: false, expanded: false },
      nodes: [
        {
          text: 'Child 1',
          state: { checked: false, selected: false, expanded: false },
          nodes: [
            {
              text: 'Grandchild 1',
              state: { checked: false, selected: false, expanded: false }
            },
            {
              text: 'Grandchild 2',
              state: { checked: false, selected: false, expanded: false }
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          text: 'Child 2',
          state: { checked: false, selected: false, expanded: false }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      text: 'Root 2',
      state: { checked: false, selected: false, expanded: false }
    }
  ]
}

Node properties

Here is a fully customized node:

{
  id: 1,
  text: 'Root 1',
  definition: 'First node',
  depth: 1,
  checkable: false,
  selectable: false,
  expandable: true,
  tags: [42],
  state: {
    checked: false,
    expanded: false,
    selected: false
  },
  nodes: [
    {},
    ...
  ]
}

The Following properties define a node level css and behavior.

key type Detail
id String or Integer --> Mandatory Used in the tree to differentiate each node
text String --> Mandatory The text value displayed at the right of the node icons
definition String --> Optional If some text is given, then it will show as a tooltip
depth Integer --> Optional It corresponds to the node depth, starting from 0, 1 or anything. It's advisable to fill these fields if some of your nodes have the same id
tags [Integer] --> Optional The tag is displayed at the right end of the line
checkable Boolean --> Optional, default: true Used to enable or disable the node's check event
selectable Boolean --> Optional, default: true Used to enable or disable the node's select event
expandable Boolean --> Optional, default: true Used to enable or disable the node's expand event
state nodes's state
state.checked Boolean --> Mandatory, default: false Change the node's default state (at initialize)
state.selected Boolean --> Mandatory, default: false Change the node's default state (at initialize)
state.expanded Boolean --> Mandatory, default: false Change the node's default state (at initialize)
nodes Object --> Optional Used to display the node's children. Look above for a structure example

Options / Styles

Here is an example of a customOptions hash the tree can take. I suggest you to use a vuejs computed function if you want to use a function pointer.

computed: {
  myCustomStyles() {
    return {
      tree: {
        style: {
          height: 'auto',
          maxHeight: '300px',
          overflowY: 'visible',
          display: 'inline-block',
          textAlign: 'left'
        }
      },
      row: {
        style: {
          width: '500px',
          cursor: 'pointer'
        },
        child: {
          class: '',
          style: {
            height: '35px'
          },
          active: {
            class: 'custom_row_active_class',
            style: {
              height: '35px'
            }
          }
        }
      },
      addNode: {
        class: 'custom_class',

      },
      text: {
        style: {},
        class: 'capitalize',
        active: {
          style: {
            'font-weight': 'bold',
            color: '#2ECC71'
          }
        }
      }
    };
  },
  myCustomOptions() {
    return {
      treeEvents: {
        expanded: {
          state: true,
          fn: null,
        },
        collapsed: {
          state: false,

        checked: {
          state: true,
          fn: this.myCheckedFunction,
        }

Events

Tree

You can call your own function here by assigning a function pointer in the tree options and changing its state to true. These functions are called after all tree modifications.

onNodeSelected

Called when a node is selected. myCustomOptions.treeEvents.selected.fn

onNodeExpanded

Called when a node is expanded. myCustomOptions.treeEvents.expanded.fn

Or called when a node is collapsed. myCustomOptions.treeEvents.collapsed.fn

onNodeChecked

Called when a node is collapsed. myCustomOptions.treeEvents.checked.fn

Tree row

You can call your own function here by assigning a function pointer in the tree options. It will replace the existing behavior of the tree for this event. You can also disabled an event by changing it's state to false.

toggleSelected

Called when a node is selected. myCustomOptions.events.selected.fn

toggleExpanded

Called when a node is expanded or collapsed. myCustomOptions.events.expanded.fn

toggleChecked

Called when a node is checked. myCustomOptions.events.checked.fn

editableName

You can call a special function if you assign it's pointer in myCustomOptions.events.editableName.fn Or you can call an existing event by assigining it's name in myCustomOptions.events.editableName.calledEvent

example : myCustomOptions.events.editableName.calledEvent = 'selected'

Methods

Methods Params:

depth --> Optional but help distinguish nodes with the same id.

argWanted --> It can either be a node attribute name (string) or a array of node attribute name (like ['id', 'name']).

format --> If you want the function to return an plain array (false) or a hash tree (true).

maxDepth --> The function will only access nodes within the maxDepth.

fullNode --> Return only node ids or node objects.

conditions --> It's used to affect only the nodes which match it. For example if the condition is {checked: true}, the function will affect only the nodes which are checked. You can use all nodes attribute that are present in the node object.

Function Detail
checkNode(nodeId, depth) Check a node
uncheckNode(nodeId, depth) Uncheck a node
getSelectedNode() Return the selected node if you have selected a node
getCheckedNodes(argWanted, format = false) Return all checked nodes
getExpandedNodes(argWanted, format = false) Return all expanded nodes
checkAllNodes() Check all nodes
uncheckAllNodes() Uncheck all nodes
expandNode(nodeId, depth) Expand a node
collapseNode(nodeId, depth) Collapse a node
selectNode(nodeId, depth) Select a node and deselect the previously selected node if it exists
expandAllNodes() Expand all nodes
collapseAllNodes() Collapse all nodes
deselectAllNodes() Deselect all nodes
findNode(nodeId, maxDepth = 9999) Find and return a node
getVisibleNodes(fullNode = false) Get all visible nodes
getNodesData(argWanted, conditions = {}, format = false) Customizable function that returns nodes

Get the tree instance

If you want to call any tree method, you need to get the instance.

To get the tree instance you just need to be in the vue instance and use this.$refs['my-tree-ref'] Then you can use a method like that: this.$refs['my-tree-ref'].myMethod()
