Each object in the JavaScript TreeView's hierarchical data structure should include the following fields:

  • id
    Unique item identifier.

  • text
    Text displayed by the item.

  • items
    Nested objects (optional).

You can respectively use the keyExpr, displayExpr, and itemsExpr properties to specify custom names for the above-mentioned fields. Node objects can also include developer-defined fields and properties from this help section: items[].

In this demo, nodes use the expanded property, which specifies whether a node is collapsed or expanded. They also include the developer-defined price and image fields.
