Bootstrap Tree View

---

!Bower version

A simple and elegant solution to displaying hierarchical tree structures (i.e. a Tree View) while leveraging the best that Twitter Bootstrap has to offer.

!Bootstrap Tree View Default

Dependencies

Where provided these are the actual versions patternfly-bootstrap-treeview has been tested against.

- Bootstrap v3.3.4 (>= 3.0.0) (doesn't support Bootstrap 4)
- jQuery v2.1.3 (>= 1.9.0)

Getting Started

$3

You can install using bower (recommended):

``javascript
$ bower install patternfly-bootstrap-treeview
`

or using npm:

`javascript
$ npm install patternfly-bootstrap-treeview
`

or download manually.

$3

Add the following resources for the patternfly-bootstrap-treeview to function correctly.

`html






`

The component will bind to any existing DOM element.

`html



`

Basic usage may look something like this.

`javascript
function getTree() {
// Some logic to retrieve, or generate tree structure
return data;
}

$('#tree').treeview({data: getTree()});
`




Data Structure

In order to define the hierarchical structure needed for the tree it's necessary to provide a nested array of JavaScript objects.

Example

`javascript
var tree = [
{
text: "Parent 1",
nodes: [
{
text: "Child 1",
nodes: [
{
text: "Grandchild 1"
},
{
text: "Grandchild 2"
}
]
},
{
text: "Child 2"
}
]
},
{
text: "Parent 2"
},
{
text: "Parent 3"
},
{
text: "Parent 4"
},
{
text: "Parent 5"
}
];
`

At the lowest level a tree node is a represented as a simple JavaScript object. This one required property text will build you a tree.

`javascript
{
text: "Node 1"
}
`

If you want to do more, here's the full node specification

`javascript
{
text: "Node 1",
icon: "glyphicon glyphicon-stop",
image: "something.png",
selectedIcon: "glyphicon glyphicon-stop",
color: "#000000",
backColor: "#FFFFFF",
iconColor: "#FFFFFF",
iconBackground: "#000000",
selectable: true,
checkable: true,
state: {
checked: true,
disabled: true,
expanded: true,
selected: true
},
tags: [
'available',
{text:'not available', class:'disabled'}
],
dataAttr: {
target: '#tree'
}
id: 'something',
class: 'special extraordinary',
hideCheckbox: true,
nodes: [
{},
...
]
}
`

$3

The following properties are defined to allow node level overrides, such as node specific icons, colours and tags.

#### text
String Mandatory

The text value displayed for a given tree node, typically to the right of the nodes icon.

#### tooltip
String Option

The tooltip value displayed for a given tree node on mouse hover.

#### icon
String Optional

The icon displayed on a given node, typically to the left of the text.

#### image
String Optional

The image displayed on a given node, overrides the icon.

For simplicity we directly leverage Bootstraps Glyphicons support and as such you should provide both the base class and individual icon class separated by a space.

By providing the base class you retain full control over the icons used. If you want to use your own then just add your class to this icon field.

#### selectedIcon
String Optional

The icon displayed on a given node when selected, typically to the left of the text.

#### color
String Optional

The foreground color used on a given node, overrides global color option.

#### backColor
String Optional

The background color used on a given node, overrides global color option.

#### iconColor
String Optional

The color used on a given node's icon.

#### iconBackground
String Optional

The color used under a given node's background icon.

#### lazyLoad
Boolean Default: false

Adds an expand icon to the node even if it has no children, it calls the lazyLoad() function (described below) upon the first expand.

#### selectable
Boolean Default: true

Whether or not a node is selectable in the tree. False indicates the node should act as an expansion heading and will not fire selection events.

#### checkable
Boolean Default: true

Whether or not a node is checkable in the tree, used in conjunction with showCheckbox.

#### state
Object Optional
Describes a node's initial state.

#### state.checked
Boolean Default: false

Whether or not a node is checked, represented by a checkbox style glyphicon.

#### state.disabled
Boolean Default: false

Whether or not a node is disabled (not selectable, expandable or checkable).

#### state.expanded
Boolean Default: false

Whether or not a node is expanded i.e. open. Takes precedence over global option levels.

#### state.selected
Boolean Default: false

Whether or not a node is selected.

#### tags
Array of Strings Optional

Used in conjunction with global showTags option to add additional information to the right of each node; using Bootstrap Badges

A tag can be an object with properties 'text' for tag value and 'class' for class names(s) of this tag

#### tagsClass
Strings Optional

String, class names(s). Default: "badge"

Sets the class of node tags

#### dataAttr
Array of Objects Optional

List of per-node HTML data- attributes to append.

#### class
String Optional

List of custom CSS classes to append, separated by space.

#### id
String Optional

Custom HTML id attribute.

#### hideCheckbox
Boolean Default: false

Used to hide the checkbox of the given node when showCheckbox is set to true.

$3

You can extend the node object by adding any number of additional key value pairs that you require for your application. Remember this is the object which will be passed around during selection events.

Options

Options allow you to customise the treeview's default appearance and behaviour. They are passed to the plugin on initialization, as an object.

`javascript
// Example: initializing the treeview
// expanded to 5 levels
// with a background color of green
$('#tree').treeview({
data: data,
levels: 5,
backColor: 'green'
});
`
You can pass a new options object to the treeview at any time but this will have the effect of re-initializing the treeview.

$3

The following is a list of all available options.

#### data

Methods

Methods provide a way of interacting with the plugin programmatically. For example, expanding a node is possible via the expandNode method.

You can invoke methods in one of two ways, using either:

#### 1. The plugin's wrapper

The plugin's wrapper works as a proxy for accessing the underlying methods.

`javascript
$('#tree').treeview('methodName', args)
`
> Limitation, multiple arguments must be passed as an array of arguments.

#### 2. The treeview directly

You can get an instance of the treeview using one of the two following methods.

`javascript
// This special method returns an instance of the treeview.
$('#tree').treeview(true)
.methodName(args);

// The instance is also saved in the DOM elements data,
// and accessible using the plugin's id 'treeview'.
$('#tree').data('treeview')
.methodName(args);
`
> A better approach, if you plan a lot of interaction.

If you intend to make multiple API calls, store a reference to the treeview instance.

`javascript
var tree = $('#tree').treeview(true);
tree.method1(args);
tree.method2(args);
`

Events

Events are provided so that your application can respond to changes in the treeview's state. For example, if you want to update a display when a node is selected use the nodeSelected event.

You can bind to any event defined below by either using an options callback handler, or the standard jQuery .on method.

Example using options callback handler:

`javascript
$('#tree').treeview({
// The naming convention for callback's is to prepend with on
// and capitalize the first letter of the event name
// e.g. nodeSelected -> onNodeSelected
onNodeSelected: function(event, data) {
// Your logic goes here
});
`

and using jQuery .on method

`javascript
$('#tree').on('nodeSelected', function(event, data) {
// Your logic goes here
});
`

#### Lifecycle Events

> Use callback handlers for lifecycle events otherwise you'll miss the events fired during creation.

loading (event) - The tree has initiated data loading.

loadingFailed (event, error) - The tree failed to load data (ajax error)

initialized (event, nodes) - The tree has initialized itself and data ready for rendering.

nodeRendered (event, node) - A new node is rendered;

rendered (event, nodes) - The tree is rendered;

destroyed (event) The tree is being destroyed;

#### State Events

nodeChecked (event, node) - A node is checked.

nodeCollapsed (event, node) - A node is collapsed.

nodeDisabled (event, node) - A node is disabled.

nodeEnabled (event, node) - A node is enabled.

nodeExpanded (event, node) - A node is expanded.

nodeSelected (event, node) - A node is selected.

nodeUnchecked (event, node) - A node is unchecked.

nodeUnselected (event, node) - A node is unselected.

#### Other Events

searchComplete (event, results) - After a search completes

searchCleared (event, results)` - After search results are cleared

> All events that emit multiple nodes, do so as an object collection not an array. This is due to limitations of jQuery in cloning plain JavaScript objects. If you need to an Array of nodes you'll need to reduce the object back into an array.
