Vue TreeList - toolbar.items

The toolbar can contain the following elements as items:

• Predefined controls
  Predefined controls appear on the toolbar depending on whether a specific TreeList feature is enabled. The following table illustrates the dependency:

  Control Name	Image	Prerequisites
  addRowButton		editing.allowAdding is true
  applyFilterButton		filterRow.visible is true and filterRow.applyFilter is set to "onClick"
  columnChooserButton		columnChooser.enabled is true
  revertButton		editing.mode is set to "batch"
  saveButton		editing.mode is set to "batch" and editing.allowUpdating is true
  searchPanel		searchPanel.visible is true

  If you need to customize a predefined control, add an object to the items[] array. This object must contain the control's name and properties that you want to customize. If a control does not need customization, simply include its name in the toolbar.items[] array.

  The example below customizes the Column Chooser button, adds an Add Row button, and enables the corresponding TreeList features:

  jQuery

  index.js

  $(function(){
      $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({
          // ...
          editing: {
              allowAdding: true
          },
          columnChooser: {
              enabled: true
          },
          toolbar: {
              items: [ "addRowButton", {
                  name: "columnChooserButton",      
                  locateInMenu: "auto",
              }]  
          }
      });
  });

  Angular

  app.component.html

  app.module.ts

  <dx-tree-list ... >
      <dxo-editing [allowAdding]="true"></dxo-editing>
      <dxo-column-chooser [enabled]="true"></dxo-column-chooser>
      <dxo-toolbar>
          <dxi-item name="addRowButton"></dxi-item>
          <dxi-item 
              name="columnChooserButton"
              locateInMenu="auto"
              location="after">
          </dxi-item>
      </dxo-toolbar>
  </dx-tree-list>

  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,
      ],
      providers: [ ],
      bootstrap: [AppComponent]
  })
  export class AppModule { }

  Vue

  App.vue

  <template>
      <DxTreeList ... >
          <DxEditing :allow-adding="true" />
          <DxColumnChooser :enabled="true"/>
          <DxToolbar>
              <DxItem name="addRowButton" />
              <DxItem
                  name="columnChooserButton"
                  locate-in-menu="auto"
                  location="after"
              />
          </DxToolbar>
      </DxTreeList>
  </template>
  <script>
  import { DxTreeList, DxEditing, DxColumnChooser, DxToolbar, DxItem } from 'devextreme-vue/tree-list';
  
  export default {
      components: {
          DxTreeList,
          DxEditing,
          DxToolbar, 
          DxItem,
          DxColumnChooser
      }
  };
  </script>

  React

  App.js

  import TreeList, { Editing, Toolbar, Item, ColumnChooser } from 'devextreme-react/tree-list';
  // ...
  function App() {
      return (
          <TreeList ... >
              <Editing allowAdding={true} />
              <ColumnChooser enabled={true} />
              <Toolbar>
                  <Item name="addRowButton" />
                  <Item
                      name="columnChooserButton"
                      locateInMenu="auto"
                      location="after"
                  />
              </Toolbar>
          </TreeList>
      );
  }

  IMPORTANT

  The TreeList does not display controls missing from the items[] array. Ensure that this array includes controls for all enabled features.

• DevExtreme components

  jQuery

  You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Set the widget property to specify the component that you want to use and configure the component's options:

  index.js

  $(function(){
      $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({
          // ...
          toolbar: {
              items: [{
                  widget: "dxSelectBox",
                  options: {
                      // SelectBox properties are specified here
                  }
              }]  
          }
      });
  });

  Angular

  You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a dxi-item element to add a supported component:

  app.component.html

  app.module.ts

  <dx-tree-list ... >
      <dxo-toolbar>
          <dxi-item>
              <dx-select-box>
                  <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
              </dx-select-box>
          </dxi-item>
      </dxo-toolbar>
  </dx-tree-list>

  import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
  import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
  
  import { DxTreeListModule, DxSelectBoxModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
  
  @NgModule({
      declarations: [
          AppComponent
      ],
      imports: [
          BrowserModule,
          DxTreeListModule,
          DxSelectBoxModule,
      ],
      providers: [ ],
      bootstrap: [AppComponent]
  })
  export class AppModule { }

  Vue

  You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a DxItem element to add a supported component:

  App.vue

  <template>
      <DxTreeList ... >
          <DxToolbar>
              <DxItem>
                  <DxSelectBox>
                      <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
                  </DxSelectBox>
              </DxItem>
          </DxToolbar>
      </DxTreeList>
  </template>
  <script>
  import { DxTreeList, DxToolbar, DxItem } from 'devextreme-vue/tree-list';
  import { DxSelectBox } from 'devextreme-vue/select-box';
  
  export default {
      components: {
          DxTreeList, 
          DxToolbar, 
          DxItem,
          DxSelectBox
      }
  };
  </script>

  React

  You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare an Item element to add a supported component:

  App.js

  import { SelectBox } from 'devextreme-react/select-box';
  import TreeList, { Toolbar, Item } from 'devextreme-react/tree-list';
  // ...
  function App() {
      return (
          <TreeList ... >
              <Toolbar>
                  <Item>
                      <SelectBox>
                          {/* SelectBox properties are specified here */}
                      </SelectBox>
                  </Item>
              </Toolbar>
          </TreeList>
      );
  }

• Custom controls
  To use a custom control, specify a template for it.

DataGrid Demo

The TreeList component evaluates the html property's value. This evaluation, however, makes the TreeList potentially vulnerable to XSS attacks. To guard against these attacks, encode the HTML markup before you assign it to the html property. Refer to the following help topic for more information: Potentially Vulnerable API - html.

You can use the text property as a safe alternative.

Whatever template you use for UI component items (default or a custom) will be located according to the value specified for the location field in the item data source object.

The following types of the specified value are available.

• Assign a string containing the name of the required template.
• Assign a jQuery object of the template's container.
• Assign a DOM Node of the template's container.
• Assign a function that returns the jQuery object or a DOM Node of the template's container.

$(function() {

                return $(`<div><i class='dx-icon-favorites'></i>${data.options.text}</div>`);
            }
        }],
    });
});

• Create a Toolbar and its Items

The text should be specified in the options configuration object.

The following types of the specified value are available.

• Assign a string containing the name of the required template.
• Assign a jQuery object of the template's container.
• Assign a DOM Node of the template's container.
• Assign a function that returns the jQuery object or a DOM Node of the template's container.

The following example adds a custom item to the component. Note that Angular and Vue use custom templates instead of the template property. In React, specify the render or component properties.

$(function() {
    $("#treeListContainer").dxTreeList({
        // ...
        toolbar: {
            items: [
                {
                    // ...
