Documentation and Demo

Prop Types

Prop name Type Default value Description
data array[node] required Tree data
nodeRenderer func required Render prop for the node (see below for more details)
onSelect func noop Function called when a node changes its selected state
onNodeSelect func noop Function called when a node was manually selected/deselected
onExpand func noop Function called when a node changes its expanded state
className string "" className to add to the outermost dom element, al ul with role = "tree"
multiSelect bool false Allows multiple nodes to be selected
propagateSelect bool false If set to true, selecting a node will also select its descendants
propagateSelectUpwards bool false If set to true, selecting a node will update the state of its parent (e.g. a parent node in a checkbox will be automatically selected if all of its children are selected
propagateCollapse bool false If set to true, collapsing a node will also collapse its descendants
expandOnKeyboardSelect bool false Selecting a node with a keyboard (using Space or Enter) will also toggle its expanded state
togglableSelect bool false Whether the selected state is togglable
defaultSelectedIds array [] Array with the ids of the default selected nodes
defaultExpandedIds array [] Array with the ids of the default expanded nodes
defaultDisabledIds array [] Array with the ids of the default disabled nodes
selectedIds array [] (Controlled) Array with the ids that should be selected
expandedIds array [] (Controlled) Array with the ids of branch node that should be expanded
clickAction enum SELECT Action to perform on click. One of: EXCLUSIVE_SELECT, FOCUS, SELECT
onBlur func noop Custom onBlur event that is triggered when focusing out of the component as a whole (moving focus between the nodes won't trigger it).



data

An array of nodes. Nodes are objects with the following structure:

Property Type Default Description
id number or string required A nonnegative integer or string that uniquely identifies the node
name string required Used to match on key press
children array[id] required An array with the ids of the children nodes.
parent id required The parent of the node. null for the root node
isBranch boolean optional Used to indicated whether a node is branch to be able load async data onExpand, default is false
metadata object optional Used to add metadata into node object. We do not currently support metadata that is a nested object

The item with parent:null of the array represents the root node and won't be displayed.

Example:

const data = [
  { name: "", children: [1, 4, 9, 10, 11], id: 0, parent: null },
  { name: "src", children: [2, 3], id: 1, parent: 0 },
  { name: "index.js", id: 2, parent: 1 },
  { name: "styles.css", id: 3, parent: 1 },
  { name: "node_modules", children: [5, 7], id: 4, parent: 0 },
  { name: "react-accessible-treeview", children: [6], id: 5, parent: 4 },
  { name: "bundle.js", id: 6, parent: 5 },
  { name: "react", children: [8], id: 7, parent: 4 },
  { name: "bundle.js", id: 8, parent: 7 },
  { name: ".npmignore", id: 9, parent: 0 },
  { name: "package.json", id: 10, parent: 0 },
  { name: "webpack.config.js", id: 11, parent: 0 },
];

The array can also be generated from a nested object using the flattenTree helper (see the examples below). flattenTree preserves metadata.

Data supports non-sequential ids provided by user.



nodeRenderer

  • Arguments: An object containing the following properties:
Property Type Description
element object The object that represents the rendered node
getNodeProps function A function which gives back the props to pass to the node
isBranch bool Whether the rendered node is a branch node
isSelected bool Whether the rendered node is selected
isHalfSelected bool or undefined If the node is a branch node, whether it is half-selected, else undefined
isExpanded bool or undefined If the node is a branch node, whether it is expanded, else undefined
isDisabled bool Whether the rendered node is disabled
level number A positive integer that corresponds to the aria-level attribute
setsize number A positive integer that corresponds to the aria-setsize attribute
posinset number A positive integer that corresponds to the aria-posinset attribute
handleSelect function Function to assign to the onClick event handler of the element(s) that will toggle the selected state
handleExpand function Function to assign to the onClick event handler of the element(s) that will toggle the expanded state
dispatch function Function to dispatch actions
treeState object state of the treeview



onSelect

  • Arguments: onSelect({element, isBranch, isExpanded, isSelected, isHalfSelected, isDisabled, treeState }) Note: the function uses the state after the selection.

onNodeSelect

  • Arguments: onNodeSelect({element, isBranch, isSelected, treeState }) Note: the function uses the state right after the selection before propagation.

onExpand

  • Arguments: onExpand({element, isExpanded, isSelected, isHalfSelected, isDisabled, treeState}) Note: the function uses the state after the expansion.

onLoadData

  • Arguments: onLoadData({element, isExpanded, isSelected, isHalfSelected, isDisabled, treeState}) Note: the function uses the state after inital data is loaded and on expansion.

Keyboard Navigation

Follows the same conventions described in https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/treeview/treeview-1/treeview-1b.html and https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#keyboard-interaction-22.

Key Function
Enter or Space Updates the selected node to the current node and triggers onSelect
Down Arrow
  • Moves focus to the next node that is tabbable without opening or closing a node.
  • If focus is on the last node, does nothing.
Up arrow
  • Moves focus to the previous node that is tabbable without opening or closing a node.
  • If focus is on the first node, does nothing.
Right Arrow
  • When focus is on a closed node, opens the node; focus does not move.
  • When focus is on an end node, does nothing.
  • When focus is on a open node, moves focus to the first child node.
Left Arrow
  • When focus is on an open node, closes the node.
  • When focus is on a child node that is also either an end node or a closed node, moves focus to its parent node.
  • When focus is on a root node that is also either an end node or a closed node, does nothing.
Home Moves focus to first node without opening or closing a node.
End Moves focus to the last node that can be focused without expanding any nodes that are closed.
a-z, A-Z
  • Focus moves to the next node with a name that starts with the typed character.
  • Search wraps to first node if a matching name is not found among the nodes that follow the focused node.
  • Search ignores nodes that are descendants of closed nodes.
* (asterisk)
  • Expands all closed sibling nodes that are at the same level as the focused node.
  • Focus does not move.
Shift + Down Arrow Moves focus to and toggles the selection state of the next node.
Shift + Up Arrow Moves focus to and toggles the selection state of the previous node.
Ctrl + A Selects all nodes in the tree. If all nodes are selected, unselects all nodes.



Mouse Navigation

Key Function
Click Toggles parent nodes and also performs one of clickActions = SELECT, EXCLUSIVE_SELECT, FOCUS
Ctrl+Click If multiselect is set to true, selects the node without dropping the current selected ones. If false, it selects the clicked node. Doesn't toggle parents.
Shift+Click If multiselect is set to true, selects from the node without dropping the current selected ones. If false, it focus the clicked node. Doesn't toggle parents.



Click actions

Variant Function
SELECT Selects the clicked node (default).
EXCLUSIVE_SELECT Selects the clicked node and deselects the rest.
FOCUS Focuses the clicked node



treeState

The internal state of the component.

Property Type Default Description
selectedIds Set new Set(defaultSelectedIds) Set of the ids of the selected nodes
controlledIds Set new Set(controlledSelectedIds) Set of the ids of the nodes selected programmatically
tabbableId number data[0].children[0] Id of the node with tabindex = 0
isFocused bool false Whether the tree has focus
expandedIds Set new Set(defaultExpandedIds) Set of the ids of the expanded nodes
halfSelectedIds Set new Set() Set of the ids of the selected nodes
lastUserSelect number data[0].children[0] Last selection made directly by the user
lastInteractedWith number or null null Last node interacted with
lastManuallyToggled number or null null Last node that was manually selected/deselected
disabledIds Set new Set(defaultDisabledIds) Set of the ids of the selected nodes
