TreeView for Vue.js

Upgraded to Vue 3

:sparkles: Incoming Features

• Add customizable colours for each node, maybe even styles.
• Use slot to customize look of node, like icons with images etc. (Will have to look into slot a bit more)

Any future suggestions are welcome

:mortar_board: Usage

Install the package into your project:

npm install --save @ll931217/vue-treeview

or

yarn add @ll931217/vue-treeview

Add this to your main.js file:

import Vue from 'vue'
import TreeView from '@ll931217/vue-treeview'

Vue.use(TreeView)

Then add this to where you want to use the treeview:

<tree-view :tree="tree">

:evergreen_tree: Tree

The treeview takes in the prop tree, which is in the following structure:

[
  {
    "text": "Dogs",
    "nodes": [{
      "text": "Germany",
      "nodes": [{
        "text": "American Eskimo Dog",
        "nodes": [{
          "text": "Fluffy",
          "link": {

Custom Icons

Default Icons

If you want to use custom icons, you can select them from FontAwesome 5, add them like this:

First download their packages (Solid icons are already available):

| Prop | Type | Required | | --------- | -------------------- | -------- | | tree | Array | True | | icons | String | Object | False |

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <treeview :tree="tree" :icons="icons" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { faChessQueen } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'

import Tree from './tree.json

export default {
  name: 'App',
  data () {
    return {
      tree: Tree,
      icons: {
        closed: 'angle-up',
        opened: 'angle-down',
        default: faChessQueen
      }
    }
  }
}
</script>

Icon for a node

In your node, add an icon object, you can customise the icon for that specific node such as:

{
  "text": "Barbet",
  "icon": "surprise"
}

Toggle whether to show parent node icons

Usage:

<treeview :tree.sync="tree" :editable="true" :show-parent-icon="{ parentShow: true, emptyParentShow: false }" />

The above example will show all icons of parent nodes that has children nodes and hide all empty parent nodes.

NOTE: the prop show-parent-icon can be written as above or showParentIcon, its all up to you.

Default:

showParentIcon: {
  type: Object,
  default: () => ({
    parentShow: false,
    emptyParentShow: false
  })
}

NOTE: Parent nodes with link property will still show their icon. See the JSON tree above, the last object tree, the parent node has link property.

Draggable

<treeview :tree.sync="tree" :editable="true" :draggable="true" />

:100: Tips

Adding .sync to :tree would allow two-way binding for the tree data, if data changed in the child component it will be updated for the entire tree, this feature is good for if you want to save the tree if it changed:

<treeview :tree.sync="tree" />

Double-click the parent node will allow you to add new node to the tree, only if editable prop is passed with the boolean value of true:

<treeview :tree.sync="tree" :editable="true" />

This prop can be used for checking user accounts:

<treeview :tree.sync="tree" :editable="userAccount === 'ADMIN'" />
