Load Data on Demand
The TreeList can load a remote dataset dynamically as a user expands nodes. The dataset must have a plain structure.
This feature requires client- and server-side configurations. To configure the client-side part, do the following:
-
Send an expanded node's ID to the server
For this, implement the CustomStore's load function. In this demo, we do it in the dataSource configuration object. -
Delegate filtering to the server
Set the remoteOperations.filtering property to true. -
Specify the data field that defines whether the node has children
Use the hasItemsExpr property to set this data field.
Server-side implementation is available in the ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET MVC versions of this demo under the TreeListDataController.cs tab.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
