a hierarchical tree component for React written in Typescript
npm install @naisutech/react-treea hierarchical tree component for React in Typescript
!demo
- Written in Typescript will full typings exported from package
- Theming support for almost all parts of the components appearance, (NEW including partial theming) (see Theming below)
- Use as an uncontrolled component with defaultSelectedNodes and defaultOpenNodes or a completely controlled component with selectedNodes and openNodes props with onEvent listeners
- Fully stylable container for fixed width, or flex-box based layouts, or scrollable container when lists are too long for the parent container
- Optimized UX to clearly indicate open/closed folders, selected items and feedback on user input
- Toggle support for long-object labels with truncateLongText prop
- Title attributes on hover for truncated labels that are too long for container
- Toggle support for empty folders with displayEmpty prop
- Customizable component message strings with messages prop (no data, empty folders, loading)
- Display a loading indicator and nothing when in loading state with loading prop
- Opt-in animated micro-interactions for opening/closing folders
- Multi-select API! hold your OS's meta key or ctrl key to be able to select/deselect multiple-nodes
- NEW in v3 imperative API via export useReactTreeApi hook. Pass the ref to the componenta (see Imperative API below
- NEW in v3 new context-based state management for better maintainability and handling of business logic
- NEW in v3 moved react-dom and styled-components to peerDependencies
- NEW in v3 Custom render functions for nodes and icons (full node context passed to render function with open/selected status)
yarn add @naisutech/react-tree or npm install @naisutech/react-tree
There is only one required prop: nodes (see Data format)
``jsx
import { ReactTree } from '@naisutech/react-tree'
// component code
const data = ... // fetch data
`
- data should be a flat list of node objects with required properties:label
- ,id
- ,parentId
- items
- optional properties:
- id
- is typed to be number or stringparentId
- root nodes should have property set to nullitems
- files/leaf items should be a flat list of node objects on property inside a node.items
- files do not require an property (this should be obvious)
- example:
`json`
[
{
"id": 12345678,
"parentId": null,
"label": "My parent node",
"items": [
{
"id": 87654321,
"label": "My file",
"parentId": 12345678
}
]
},
{
"id": 56789012,
"parentId": 12345678,
"label": "My child node"
}
]
There are a number of optional properties which
can be used to customise the UX of your _React Tree_ component. You can explore the full interactive docs here or you can refer to the sample code below:
`tsx`
defaultOpenNodes?: TreeNodeId[]
defaultSelectedNodes?: TreeNodeId[]

loading?: boolean
theme?: string

onToggleOpenNodes?: (nodes: TreeNodeId[]) => void
ref: React.MutableRef

_React Tree_ is written in typescript and is fully typescript compatible. All type definitions are exported directly from the library. See src/types in the repo for extensive definitions
_React Tree_ exposes a hook useReactTreeApi which you can use to imperatively control the tree component. The hook returns a React.MutableRef type object. All you have to do is pass the returned object to the ref props on the _React Tree_ component. The .current property on the ref object will be populated with the API functions you need to fully control the component.
`tsx
import ReactTree, { useReactTreeApi } from "@naisutech/react-tree"
const App = () => {
const treeApi = useReactTreeApi()
return
$3
Full details of the _React Tree_ API:
`ts
interface ReactTreeApi {
getOpenNodes: () => (number | string)[] // get a list of all open nodes
getSelectedNodes: () => (number | string)[] // get a list of all selected nodes
toggleNodeSelectedState: (node: string | number) => void // toggle a node selected/unselected. This is an inclusive operation (all other selected nodes are retained)
toggleNodeOpenState: (node: string | number) => void // toggle a node open. This is an inclusive operation (all other open nodes are retained)
toggleAllNodesOpenState: (state: 'open' | 'closed') => void // open or close all nodes
toggleAllNodesSelectedState: (state: 'selected' | 'unselected') => void // select or deselect all nodes
toggleOpenNodes: (nodes: (number | string)[]) => void // toggle a set of nodes open. This is an additive operation (it's a union of already open and newly open nodes)
toggleClosedNodes: (nodes: (number | string)[]) => void // toggle a set of nodes closed. This is an subtractive operation (it's a difference of already open and newly closed nodes)
toggleOpenClosedNodes: (nodes: (number | string)[]) => void // toggle a set of nodes open. This is an exclusive operation (all other open nodes are closed)
selectNodes: (nodes: (number | string)[]) => void // toggle a set of nodes selected. This is an additive operation (it's a union of already selected and newly selected nodes)
deselectNodes: (nodes: (number | string)[]) => void // toggle a set of nodes deselected. This is an subtractive operation (it's a difference of already selected and newly deselected nodes)
toggleSelectedNodes: (nodes: (number | string)[]) => void // toggle a set of nodes selected. This is an exclusive operation (all other selected nodes are deselected)
}
`Theming
_ReactTree_ supports custom theming. All values are CSS compatible properties. Provide the custom theme object to the
themes prop (with a key matching your theme name) and provide your theme name to the theme prop.$3
Note all props are optional. Any props not provided will use
initial settings (e.g. background-color: initial;)`ts
interface ReactTreeTheme {
text?: {
fontSize?: SizeUnit | CSSUnit
fontFamily?: string
color?: string
selectedColor?: string | null
hoverColor?: string | null
}
nodes?: {
height?: CSSUnit
folder?: {
bgColor?: string
selectedBgColor?: string
hoverBgColor?: string | null
}
leaf?: {
bgColor?: string
selectedBgColor?: string
hoverBgColor?: string | null
}
separator?: {
border?: string
borderColor?: string
}
icons?: {
size?: CSSUnit
folderColor?: string
leafColor?: string

Custom render functions
_React Tree_ includes two props
RenderNode and RenderIcon which can be used to fully customize the appearance and behaviour of the component###Â API
Icons and nodes both use the same API,
TreeRenderFn:`tsx
type TreeRenderFn = ({
node,
type,
selected = false,
open = false,
context
}: {
node: TreeNode
type: 'leaf' | 'node' | 'loader'
selected: boolean
open?: boolean
Icon?: React.ReactNode
context: TReactTreeContext
}) => React.ReactNode
`-
node: TreeNode - the node data
- type: 'leaf' | 'node' | 'loader' - the type of this node
- selected: boolean - indicates whether node is selected or not
- open: boolean - use only for node, indicates whether node is open or not
- icon: React.ReactNode - the SVG component of the original _React Tree_ icon if you want to use it
- context: TReactTreeContext - the entire _React Tree_ context including the state, and API methods
$3
_ReactTree_ will call (if provided) the
RenderNode icon with the API for TreeRenderFn. This should be enough information to render any customization you need.N.B. if you use the prop
truncateLongText you'll notice that unless you properly style your custom node elements, it will take no effect. As explained elsewhere, you'll need to make sure that a) the container is styled to have a fixed width and b) that the custom node is styled overflow-x: hidden; and text-overflow: ellipsis to be rendered correctly. $3
_ReactTree_ comes with a pretty solid set of default icons for showing node elements and leaf elements. However, if you want to hide the icons, pass the
noIcons prop.If you want to customize the icons, you can! Some conditions:
- the icon is rendered inside a container which whose size is determined by theme property
icons.size. It will render any child SVG or img element as 100%` height and width within that container- add drag and drop support
- open issues and PRs and we'll work together!
