Create A Simple Tree View Using Vanilla JavaScript – js-treeview

Description:

js-treeview is a minimal Javascript library used to create an expandable/collapsible tree view (fold structure) from an object array.

How to use it:

Load the treeview.min.css and treeview.min.js in the document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="treeview.min.css" />
<script src="treeview.min.js"></script>

Create a container where the JS library will render a tree view into it.

<div id="tree"></div>

Build the tree structure using JS object array.

var tree = [{
  name: 'Vegetables',
  children: []
  }, {
  name: 'Fruits',
  children: [{
    name: 'Apple',
    children: []
  }, {
    name: 'Orange',
    children: []
  }, {
    name: 'Lemon',
    children: []
  }]
  }, {
  name: 'Candy',
  children: [{
    name: 'Gummies',
    children: []
  }, {
    name: 'Chocolate',
    children: [{
    name: 'M & M\'s',
    children: []
    }, {
    name: 'Hershey Bar',
    children: []
    }]
  }, ]
  }, {
  name: 'Bread',
  children: []
}];

Create the tree view.

var t = new TreeView(tree, 'tree');

Events available.

t.on('select', function (target,data) { 
  alert('select'); 
});
t.on('expand', function (target,leaves) { 
  alert('expand'); 
});
t.on('expandAll', function () { 
  alert('expand'); 
});
t.on('collapse', function (target,leaves) { 
  alert('collapse'); 
});
t.on('collapseAll', function () { 
  alert('collapse'); 
});

    Thank you for this script. Integration was really easy and works like a charme

    One thing: In line 30 in section “Build the tree structure using JS object array” there is a comma which breaks the code.
