This directive will help you to display a nested tree in your Angular project, and customize the nodes by using your own template or HTML code, without nasty configuration options. There is no limit for your trees, as long as you respect a similar JSON structure:
$scope.myTree = [
{
name: 'John'
},
{
name: 'Marie'
},
{
name: 'Jackie',
children: [
{
name: 'Junior'
},
{
name: 'Christie',
children: [...]
}
]
}];Please checkout this demo
You can install it via bower by doing bower install angular-treecursive.
Then, load the script file as you usually do:
<script src="bower_components/angular-treecursive/angular-treecursive.min.js"></script>
Lastly, include the module webpolis.directives in your app, like this:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['webpolis.directives']);There are no specific properties required for your nodes, other than the children property which is only needed if you want to include more nodes and the collapsed boolean attribute, in case you need to expand or collapse the children nodes. Then you can traverse into infinite levels!
So, for example:
<treecursive nodes="myTree">
<a href="" ng-click="myCustomSelectionMethod(node)">{{node.name}}</a>
</treecursive>
As you can see, the members of your tree are represented by node, so you can do whatever you want there, like setting a collapsed property in your nodes to open/close a folder icon (See demo).
If you have a different name for the property that holds the children, you can specify that also.
For example, if the property name that holds the children is named 'books':
<treecursive nodes="myTree" children="books">
<a href="" ng-click="myCustomSelectionMethod(node)">{{node.name}}</a>
</treecursive>
If you are working with very large data structures, you may want to initially collapse all nodes (by setting the
collapsed attribute to false on each one), then render the tree lazily. This is done by specifying the lazy-render
attribute as true as in the following example:
<treecursive nodes="myVeryLargeTree" lazy-render="true">
<a href="" ng-click="myCustomSelectionMethod(node)">{{node.name}}</a>
</treecursive>
Essentially this will tell the directive to use ng-if for hiding collapsed branches instead of ng-show. The subtle difference is that ng-show will always render the HTML but may choose to hide it using CSS, where as ng-if postpones the rendering of the HTML until it's visible (and removes it when it is no longer visible). For large trees which are initially collapsed, the lazy-render option will greatly speed up processing.
Configuration is simple. We just need one attribute: nodes (required), specifying the name of the array for your tree.
