Angular TreeList Properties

An object defining configuration options for the TreeList widget.

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the widget.

Type:

String

Default Value: null

The value of this option will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether or not the widget changes its state when interacting with a user.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

This option is used when the widget is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for widgets.

allowColumnReordering

Specifies whether a user can reorder columns.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

Initially, columns appear in the order specified by the columns array. If you skip specifying this array, columns will mirror the order of fields in the first object from the dataSource. You can allow a user to reorder columns at runtime by setting the allowColumnReordering option to true.

See Also

allowColumnResizing

Specifies whether a user can resize columns.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

By default, the width of each column depends on the width of the widget and the total number of columns. You can allow a user to resize the columns at runtime by setting the allowColumnResizing option to true.

See Also

autoExpandAll

Specifies whether all rows are expanded initially.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

cacheEnabled

Specifies whether data should be cached.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

When this option is set to true, data loaded once is saved in cache. Then, the widget takes data from this cache when performing such operations as sorting, grouping, paging, etc. Caching is helpful when the data source takes significant time to load, but consider disabling it for frequently changing data sources.

To update data in cache, call the refresh() method of the widget or the load() method of the DataSource.

See Also

cellHintEnabled

Enables a hint that appears when a user hovers the mouse pointer over a cell with truncated content.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

The cell's content may be truncated if the width of the cell's column becomes very small. In this case, when a user hovers the mouse pointer over such a cell, a hint containing the cell's value appears. To disable cell hints, assign false to the cellHintEnabled option.

columnAutoWidth

Specifies whether columns should adjust their widths to the content.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

When this option is set to true, all columns adjust their widths to the content. This setting may cause horizontal scrolling, but only if the overall content is longer than the width of the widget. In this case, you can fix those columns that you consider pivotal so that they were constantly on screen.

When this option is set to false, all columns have identical widths that depend on the width of the widget.

See Also

columnChooser

Configures the column chooser.

Type:

Object

The column chooser allows a user to hide columns at runtime. To enable it, assign true to the columnChooser.enabled option.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout TreeList Column Chooser

See Also

columnFixing

Configures column fixing.

Type:

Object

When the width of all columns exceeds the widget width, horizontal scrolling appears. If specific columns should be on screen constantly regardless of how far the widget is scrolled, allow a user to fix them at runtime using the context menu. For this, set the columnFixing.enabled option to true.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout TreeList Column Fixing

When you enable column fixing, command columns become fixed automatically.

columnHidingEnabled

Specifies whether the widget should hide columns to adapt to the screen or container size. Ignored if allowColumnResizing is true and columnResizingMode is "widget".

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

This option set to true makes the widget hide certain columns automatically if all the columns do not fit the widget's width. Columns with low hidingPriority are hidden first. These are the rightmost (leftmost if rtlEnabled is true) columns by default. Information from hidden columns is available in an adaptive detail row.

See Also

columnMinWidth

Specifies the minimum width of columns.

Type:

Number

Default Value: undefined

columnResizingMode

Specifies how the widget resizes columns. Applies only if allowColumnResizing is true.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'nextColumn'
Accepted Values: 'nextColumn' | 'widget'

The columnResizingMode option accepts one of the following values:

  • nextColumn
    When a user resizes a column, the width of the next column changes.
  • widget
    When a user resizes a column, the width of the widget changes.
    This mode is ignored if you specify the width of any column in percent.

columns[]

Configures columns.

Default Value: undefined

This option accepts an array of objects, where each object configures a single column. If a column does not need to be customized, this array may include the name of the field that provides data for this column.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({
        // ...
        columns: [{
            dataField: "Title",
            caption: "Position"
        }, {
            dataField: "FullName",
            width: 300
        }, 
            "CompanyName",
            "City"
        ]
    });
});

        // ...
        DxTreeListModule
    ],
    // ...
})

customizeColumns

Customizes columns after they are created.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:

All column configurations.

Use this function to make minor adjustments to automatically generated columns. You can access and modify column configurations using the function's parameter.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function(){
    $("#treeList").dxTreeList({
        // ...
        customizeColumns: function (columns) {
            columns[0].width = 100;
            columns[1].width = 210;
        }
    })
});
Angular
TypeScript
HTML
import { DxTreeListModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    customizeColumns (columns) {
        columns[0].width = 100;
        columns[1].width = 210;
    }
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxTreeListModule
    ],
    // ...
})
<dx-tree-list ...
    [customizeColumns]="customizeColumns">
</dx-tree-list>

For a more profound column customization, declare the columns array.

dataSource

Specifies the origin of data for the widget.

Default Value: null

This option accepts one of the following:

  • Array of Objects
    A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.

  • URL
    A URL to JSON data or to a service returning data in JSON format.

  • DataSource or its configuration object
    A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

    NOTE
    If you use data mapping, features like export and selection may work incorrectly. We recommend using calculated columns instead of mapping.
NOTE
Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ]. Their presence may cause issues in the widget's operation.

The widget cannot track changes that a third party makes in the data source. To bring data in the widget up to date in this case, call the refresh() method.

See Also

dataStructure

Notifies the widget of your data structure.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'plain'
Accepted Values: 'plain' | 'tree'

By default, the widget expects that data has a plain structure where each data item contains a "parentId" field and a unique "id" field. For items of the highest hierarchical level, "parentId" should be 0, null or undefined indicating that these items belong to the root node. The root node holds the entire hierarchy and is not visualized.

JavaScript
var treeListData = [
    { id: 1, parentId: 0 },
    { id: 11, parentId: 1 },
    { id: 12, parentId: 1 },
    { id: 13, parentId: 1 },
    { id: 131, parentId: 13 },
    { id: 132, parentId: 13 },
    { id: 133, parentId: 13 },
    { id: 2, parentId: 0 }
];

View Demo

If your data has a hierarchical structure where each data item contains nested items, set this option to "tree". Parent and item IDs will be generated automatically.

JavaScript
var treeListData = [{
    text: "item1",
    items: [{ 
        text: "item11" 
    }, { 
        text: "item12",
        items: [
            { text: "item121" }, 
            { text: "item122" }
        ]
    }]
}, { 
    text: "item2" 
}];

dateSerializationFormat

Specifies date-time values' serialization format. Use it only if you do not specify the dataSource at design time.

Type:

String

Without a data source, the widget cannot detect the date-time values' format. In this case, specify the dateSerializationFormat option that supports the following formats:

  • "yyyy-MM-dd" - a local date

  • "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss" - local date and time

  • "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ" - the UTC date and time

  • "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssx" - date and time with a timezone

This option applies only if the forceIsoDateParsing field is set to true in the global configuration object.

disabled

Specifies whether the widget responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

editing

Configures editing.

Type:

Object

The widget allows a user to edit data in several modes, which are detailed in the mode option. To define what editing operations a user can perform, specify the allowAdding, allowUpdating and allowDeleting options. Before enabling an operation, make sure that your data source supports it.

NOTE
Editing works with plain data only.

Default Value: 'auto'

Data for the TreeList can either be stored on the client or come from the server. As a rule, manipulating data on the server enhances the TreeList performance. However, the server might be falling short of implementing certain operations. In this case, they can be performed on the client.

Data operations can be categorized into basic operations (filtering, sorting) and advanced operations (grouping). The following table shows where data operations are performed by default.

Basic operations Advanced operations
CustomStore client client
ODataStore server client (always)
NOTE
You cannot perform data operations on the server with an ArrayStore, a LocalStore or an array of objects.

To control individual operations, assign a Boolean value to a corresponding field of the remoteOperations object. Note that making data operations remote makes sense only if data has a plain structure.

NOTE
If actual data is stored on the server, making data operations local does not guarantee that no queries for data will be sent to the server while these operations are being performed. It only guarantees that calculations will be performed on the client.

Note that when the operations are performed remotely, the TreeList does not support:

rootValue

Specifies the root node's identifier. Applies if dataStructure is 'plain'.

Type:

Object

Default Value: 0

rowAlternationEnabled

Specifies whether rows should be shaded differently.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

All rows are monochrome without any visual distinctions by default. If you set this option to true, ordinary-looking rows will alternate with slightly shaded ones.

rtlEnabled

Switches the widget to a right-to-left representation.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

When this option is set to true, the widget text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

JavaScript
DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

See Also

showColumnLines

Specifies whether vertical lines that separate one column from another are visible.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

NOTE
If you use the Android or iOS theme, specifying this option doesn't affect anything. These themes avoid displaying column lines in order to provide a native look for the widget. In case you still require the column lines to be displayed, choose another theme.

showRowLines

Specifies whether horizontal lines that separate one row from another are visible.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false, true (iOS)

sorting

Configures runtime sorting.

Type:

Object

A user can sort rows by values of a single or multiple columns depending on the value of the sorting.mode option.

tabIndex

Specifies the number of the element when the Tab key is used for navigating.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0

The value of this option will be passed to the tabindex attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.

twoWayBindingEnabled

Specifies whether to enable two-way data binding.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

Two-way data binding ensures that the UI tracks changes made in the data source by a 3rd-party component, and vice versa. This way, the widget and its data source stay synchronized. If you implement two-way data binding in the widget on your own using the cellTemplate and/or editCellTemplate options, make sure to set the twoWayBindingEnabled option to false.

NOTE
The widget provides two-way data binding through Knockout, Angular or AngularJS resources, so make sure to add these libraries to your app.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true
