JavaScript/jQuery TreeList Methods
addColumn(columnOptions)
The column's configuration or a data field for which the column should be created.
This method is intended to add columns at runtime. To add columns at design-time, use the columns array.
If stateStoring is enabled, the added column is saved in the UI component's state after the creation.
See Also
addRow()
Use this method if you want to add an empty row. If you need to add a row with data, do the following:
For a remote data source, insert a new row with data into it and reload the data source:
jQuery
JavaScript$(function(){ var treeList = $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({ // ... }).dxTreeList("instance"); var dataSource = treeList.getDataSource(); dataSource.store().insert(data).then(function() { dataSource.reload(); }) });
Angular
app.component.tsapp.module.tsimport { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { constructor() { this.dataSource = new DataSource({ // ... }) } // ... insertRowRemote: function(dataObj) { this.dataSource.store().insert(data).then(function() { this.dataSource.reload(); }) } }
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { DxTreeListModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, DxTreeListModule ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }

React
App.jsimport React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import TreeList from 'devextreme-react/tree-list'; import DataSource from 'devextreme/data/data_source'; const ds = new DataSource({ // ... }); class App extends React.Component { insertRowRemote(dataObj) { ds.store().insert(dataObj).then(() => ds.reload()); } render() { return ( <TreeList dataSource={ds} /> ); } } export default App;
For a local data source, push a new row into it.
jQuery
JavaScript$(function(){ var treeList = $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({ // ... }).dxTreeList("instance");
});var dataSource = treeList.getDataSource(); dataSource.store().push([ { type: "insert", data: data } ])
Angular

This method works only when paging.enabled is false or when dataSource.reshapeOnPush is true and remoteOperations is false.

beginCustomLoading(messageText)
Shows the load panel.
Normally, the load panel is invoked automatically while the UI component is busy rendering or loading data. Additionally, you can invoke it by calling this method. If you call it without the argument, the load panel displays text specified by the loadPanel.text property. To specify the appearance of the load panel, use the loadPanel object. Once invoked from code, the load panel will not hide until you call the endCustomLoading() method.
See Also
beginUpdate()
Prevents the UI component from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the UI component from excessive updates when you are changing multiple UI component settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the UI component does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.
See Also
byKey(key)
A Promise that is resolved after the data object is loaded. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
The following code shows how to get a data object whose key is 15.
widgetInstance.byKey(15).done(function(dataObject) { // process "dataObject" }).fail(function(error) { // handle error });
See Also
cellValue(rowIndex, dataField)

A Promise that is resolved after data is loaded. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
navigateToRow(key)
A Promise that is resolved after the grid is navigated to the specified row. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
This method performs the following actions:
- Switches the UI component to the data page that contains the specified row.
- Expands groups in which the row is nested.
- Scrolls the UI component to display the row (if the row is outside the viewport).
The following requirements apply when you use this method:
The UI component's keyExpr or the store's key property should be specified.
Rows should be initially sorted by keys. You can sort them on the server or use a column's sortOrder or the DataSource's sort property to sort the rows on the client.

on(eventName, eventHandler)
Use this method to subscribe to one of the events listed in the Events section.
See Also
on(events)
Use this method to subscribe to several events with one method call. Available events are listed in the Events section.
See Also
pageIndex()
When the scrolling mode is "virtual", this method returns the index of the page whose row is shown first in the UI component.
See Also

A Promise that is resolved after the page is shown. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
refresh()
A Promise that is resolved after data is loaded. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
The UI component cannot track changes a third party makes in the data source. To update data in the UI component in this case, call the refresh() method. Data sources of lookup columns are updated with the main data source.
The following code shows how to call this method:
jQuery
var treeList = $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList("instance"); treeList.refresh() .done(function() { // ... }) .fail(function(error) { // ... });
Angular

If a filter is applied, this method selects only those rows that meet the filtering conditions.

selectRows(keys, preserve)
A Promise that is resolved after the rows are selected. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
By default, this method call clears selection of previously selected rows. To keep these rows selected, call this method with true as the second argument.
widgetInstance.selectRows([5, 10, 12], true);
If you specify DataGrid's key as composite (for example, key: ['id', 'name']
), you need to call this method as follows:
widgetInstance.selectRows([ { id: 5, name: 'Alex' }, { id: 10: name: 'Bob' } ], true);
See Also
selectRowsByIndexes(indexes)
A Promise that is resolved after the rows are selected. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
This method has the following specifics:
- This method call clears selection of all previously selected rows.
- When calculating row indexes, the UI component counts data and group rows. Nevertheless, only data rows can be selected.
- If the pager is used, selection is cleared once a user moves to a different page. To preserve it, call this method within the onContentReady handler.

state()
The following example shows how to save the UI component state in the local storage and load it from there:
jQuery
$(function () { const treeList = $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({ // ... }).dxTreeList("instance"); $("#save").dxButton({ text: "Save State", onClick: function() { const state = treeList.state(); // Saves the state in the local storage localStorage.setItem("treeListState", JSON.stringify(state)); } }); $("#load").dxButton({ text: "Load State", onClick: function() { const state = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("treeListState")); treeList.state(state); } }); });
Angular

import React, { useRef } from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import TreeList, { // ... } from 'devextreme-react/tree-list'; import Button from 'devextreme-react/button'; export default function App() { const treeList = useRef(null); const saveState = () => { const state = treeList.current.instance.state(); // Saves the state in the local storage localStorage.setItem("treeListState", JSON.stringify(state)); }; const loadState = () => { const state = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("treeListState")); treeList.current.instance.state(state); }; return ( <React.Fragment> <TreeList ... ref={treeList}> </TreeList> <Button text="Save State" onClick={saveState} /> <Button text="Load State" onClick={loadState} /> </React.Fragment> ); }

state(state)
After the state is set, the TreeList reloads data to apply sorting, filtering, and other data processing settings.
Refer to the state() method description for an example of how to work with the UI component state.
