React TreeList Props

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.

See Also

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
Raised Events: onOptionChanged

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.

columnWidth

Specifies the width for all data columns. Has a lower priority than the column.width option.

Type:

Number

Default Value: undefined

See Also

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;

        DxTreeListModule
    ],
    // ...
})
<dx-tree-list ...
    [customizeColumns]="customizeColumns">
</dx-tree-list>

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

dataSource

Binds the widget to data.

Default Value: null

If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Data Binding article.

The TreeList works with object collections that can have a plain or hierarchical structure. Depending on the structure, the objects should provide different data fields. Specify the dataStructure option to notify the TreeList of the used structure and refer to the option's description for information on the required fields.

Depending on your data source, bind the TreeList to data as follows.

  • Data Array
    Assign the array to the dataSource option. View Demo

  • Read-Only Data in JSON Format
    Set the dataSource option to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.

  • OData
    Implement an ODataStore.

  • Web API, PHP, MongoDB
    Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme widgets use:

    Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

    jQuery
    JavaScript
    $(function() {
        let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service";
        $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({
            // ...

  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the TreeList always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and otherwise shape data. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

NOTE

Please review the following notes about data binding:

  • Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ].

  • If the TreeList widget gets data from a server, configure remoteOperations to notify the widget about data operations the server performs.

  • Selection works incorrectly with mapped data objects. Use calculated columns instead of mapping.

  • DataSource and stores provide methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new array, store, or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource option as shown in the articles about changing options in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.

dataStructure

Notifies the widget of the used data structure.

Type:

String

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

The widget expects that data has a plain structure where:

  • each data item contains a parentId and a unique id;
  • data items of the highest hierarchical level have parentId equal to 0, null or undefined. It indicates that these data items descend from the root node. The root node does not have a visual representation.
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 }
];

Specify the keyExpr and parentIdExpr if parentId and id are called differently in your dataset. You can also change the root node's ID from 0 via the rootValue option.

View Demo

If data has a hierarchical structure, set the dataStructure option to "tree". Parent and item IDs will be generated automatically. Data items that nest other data items should have an items field:

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

If the items field is called differently in your dataset, specify the itemsExpr option.

View Demo

NOTE
Editing does not work with hierarchical data sources out of the box, but you can use the code sample from this KB to implement it.

If each data item has a Boolean field that specifies whether this data item nests other items, assign the field's name to the hasItemsExpr option. The widget uses this information to render the expand button. This is required only if the widget is bound to a remote data source.

See Also

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 does not work with hierarchical data sources out of the box, but you can use the code sample from this KB to implement it.

elementAttr

Specifies the attributes to be attached to the widget's root element.

Type:

Object

Default Value: {}

        { "class", "class-name" }
    })
)

errorRowEnabled

Indicates whether to show the error row.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

The error row displays data-related errors that may occur on the server during the widget's runtime. Setting this option to false hides the error row, but the errors can still be viewed in the browser's console.

See Also

expandedRowKeys

Specifies keys of the initially expanded rows.

Type:

Array<any>

Default Value: []
Raised Events: onOptionChanged

Setting this option expands only the specified rows, but not their parents. If a to-be-expanded row lies deep in the hierarchy, make sure to include keys of all rows that nest it.

See Also

expandNodesOnFiltering

Specifies whether nodes appear expanded or collapsed after filtering is applied.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

filterBuilder

Configures the integrated filter builder.

Default Value: {}

See the FilterBuilder configuration for options that you can specify in this object.

NOTE
The fields of a configuration object passed to this option do not support two-way binding in Angular, AngularJS, and Knockout and event bindings in Angular.
See Also

filterBuilderPopup

Configures the popup in which the integrated filter builder is shown.

Default Value: {}

See the Popup configuration for options that you can specify in this object.

NOTE
The fields of a configuration object passed to this option do not support two-way binding in Angular, AngularJS, and Knockout and event bindings in Angular.
See Also

filterPanel

Configures the filter panel.

Type:

Object

Default Value: {}

The filter panel displays the applied filter expression.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout TreeList Filter Panel

Clicking on the filter expression opens the filter builder.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout TreeList Filter Panel

If you change the filter expression in the filter panel or filter builder, the changes are reflected in the filter row and header filter, and vice versa. You can disable this synchronization by setting the filterSyncEnabled option to false. In this case, the filter panel remains synchronized with the filter builder.

See Also

filterRow

Configures the filter row.

Type:

Object

The filter row allows a user to filter data by values of individual columns.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout Widget TreeList FilterRow

Each cell in the filter row contains a magnifying glass icon, pausing on which opens a drop-down list with filters available for the column.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout Widget TreeList FilterRow

To make the filter row visible, assign true to the filterRow.visible option.

View Demo

See Also

filterSyncEnabled

Specifies whether to synchronize the filter row, header filter, and filter builder. The synchronized filter expression is stored in the filterValue option.

Type:

Boolean

Synchronization is enabled if the filter panel is visible. When it is enabled, check that each column that allows filtering has the dataField or name option specified.

filterValue

Specifies a filter expression.

Default Value: null
Raised Events: onOptionChanged

If filterSyncEnabled is true, the filter expression includes a combination of the filter row, header filter, and filter builder filters. Otherwise, it contains only the filter builder filter.

The filter expression can contain the following operations: "=", "<>", "<", ">", "<=", ">=", "between", "contains", "notcontains", "startswith", "endswith", "anyof", "noneof", and the filter builder's custom operations. Use "anyof" and "noneof" to select and clear the selection of items in the header filter's popup menu. In the following code, "anyof" is used to select items with IDs 500 and 700:

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({
        // ...
        filterSyncEnabled: true,
        headerFilter: { visible: true },
        filterValue: ["ID", "anyof", [500, 700]], 
    })
});
Angular
HTML
TypeScript
<dx-tree-list ...
    [filterSyncEnabled]="true"
    [(filterValue)]="['ID', 'anyof', [500, 700]]">

    // ...
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxTreeListModule
    ],
    // ...
})

If a column's groupInterval option is set, the "anyof" and "noneof" operations for this column accept the beginning of intervals instead of exact values:

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({
        // ...
        filterValue: ["ID", "anyof", [500, 700]], // Filter intervals are 500-600 and 700-800
        columns: [{
            dataField: "ID",
            dataType: "number",
            headerFilter: { groupInterval: 100 }
        },
        // ...
        ]
    })
});
Angular
HTML
TypeScript
<dx-tree-list ...
    <!-- Filter intervals are 500-600 and 700-800 -->
    [(filterValue)]="['ID', 'anyof', [500, 700]]"> 
        <dxi-column
            dataField="ID"
            dataType="number">
                <dxo-header-filter 
                    [groupInterval]="100">
                </dxo-header-filter>
        </dxi-column>
</dx-tree-list>
import { DxTreeListModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxTreeListModule
    ],
    // ...
})
NOTE
The DataSource does not support the "anyof", "noneof", and custom operations. Use the getCombinedFilter(returnDataField) method to get the DataSource-compatible filter expression.
See Also

focusedColumnIndex

Specifies the index of the column focused initially or currently in the data row area.

Type:

Number

Default Value: -1
Raised Events: onFocusedCellChanged

This index depends on the column's location and can change dynamically (for example, when columns are reordered). The following image illustrates the indexing system. Note that command columns have indexes but cannot be focused.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript TreeList Column Index

The default index, -1, means that no column is focused.

See Also

focusedRowEnabled

Specifies whether the focused row feature is enabled.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

When this option is set to true, the following applies:

NOTE
Specify the widget's keyExpr or the Store's key option to ensure that the focused row feature works properly.

View Demo

See Also

focusedRowIndex

Specifies the initially or currently focused grid row's index. Use it when focusedRowEnabled is true.

Type:

Number

Default Value: -1
Raised Events: onFocusedRowChanged

The focused row has a key and index on a page. When the pager is used for navigation, the focused row's index persists from page to page but corresponds to a different row with a different key on each page.

The default index, -1, means that no row is focused.

The focusedRowKey takes precedence over the focusedRowIndex when both are specified.

See Also

focusedRowKey

Specifies initially or currently focused grid row's key. Use it when focusedRowEnabled is true.

Type: any
Default Value: undefined
Raised Events: onFocusedRowChanged

The focused row has a key and index on a page. When the pager is used for navigation, the focused row's index persists from page to page but corresponds to a different row with a different key on each page.

In the DataGrid, group rows can also be focused. See the Group Index and Key topic for more information on how group keys are formed.

remoteOperations

Notifies the TreeList of the server's data processing operations. Applies only if data has a plain structure.

Type:

Object

Server-side data processing improves the widget's performance on large datasets. When the server does not implement particular operations (and/or the corresponding remoteOperations fields are false) they are executed on the client. Note that the widget may send queries to the server while executing a client-side operation.

The following table lists the possible remoteOperations configurations and the operations the server should implement. The server should also implement additional operations depending on the used widget functionality.

Setting Required server-side operations Additional server-side operations
remoteOperations: { filtering: true } filtering -
remoteOperations: { sorting: true } sorting filtering*
remoteOperations: { grouping: true } grouping, filtering sorting*
* - If this functionality is used in the widget.
NOTE
Filtering and sorting are performed on the server side for the ODataStore, but you can change them to the client side by setting the corresponding remoteOperations fields to false. Other operations are always client-side.

When operations are performed on the server side, the TreeList does not support:

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
});

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, Material)

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.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout Widget TreeList Sorting

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.
