Usage

import {
  TreeView,
  type TreeNode,
  type TreeViewRef
} from 'react-native-tree-multi-select';

// Refer to the Properties table below or the example app for the TreeNode type
const myData: TreeNode[] = [...];

export function TreeViewUsageExample(){
  const treeViewRef = React.useRef<TreeViewRef | null>(null);
  
  // It's recommended to use debounce for the search function (refer to the example app)
  function triggerSearch(text: string){
    // Pass search text to the tree along with the keys on which search is to be done(optional)
    treeViewRef.current?.setSearchText(text, ["name"]);
  }
  
  // Callback functions for check and expand state changes:
  const handleSelectionChange = (
      _checkedIds: string[],
      _indeterminateIds: string[]
  ) => {
      // NOTE: Handle _checkedIds and _indeterminateIds here
  };
  const handleExpanded = (expandedIds: string[]) => {
    // NOTE: Do something with updated expandedIds here
  };

  // Expand collapse calls using ref
  const expandAllPress = () => treeViewRef.current?.expandAll?.();
  const collapseAllPress = () => treeViewRef.current?.collapseAll?.();
  const expandNodes = (idsToExpand: string[]) => treeViewRef.current?.expandNodes?.(
    idsToExpand
  );
  const collapseNodes = (idsToCollapse: string[]) => treeViewRef.current?.collapseNodes?.(
    idsToCollapse
  );

  // Multi-selection function calls using ref
  const onSelectAllPress = () => treeViewRef.current?.selectAll?.();
  const onUnselectAllPress = () => treeViewRef.current?.unselectAll?.();
  const onSelectAllFilteredPress = () => treeViewRef.current?.selectAllFiltered?.();
  const onUnselectAllFilteredPress = () => treeViewRef.current?.unselectAllFiltered?.();
  const selectNodes = (idsToExpand: string[]) => treeViewRef.current?.selectNodes?.(
    idsToSelect
  );
  const unselectNodes = (idsToCollapse: string[]) => treeViewRef.current?.unselectNodes?.(
    idsToUnselect
  );
  
  return(
    // ... Remember to keep a fixed height for the parent. Read Flash List docs to know why
    <TreeView
      ref={treeViewRef}
      data={myData}
      onCheck={handleSelectionChange}
      onExpand={handleExpanded}
    />
  );
}

Properties

Property Type Required Description
data TreeNode Yes An array of TreeNode objects
onCheck (checkedIds: string[], indeterminateIds: string[]) => void No Callback when a checkbox state changes
onExpand (expandedIds: string[]) => void No Callback when a node is expanded
preselectedIds string[] No An array of ids that should be pre-selected
preExpandedIds string[] No An array of ids that should be pre-expanded
selectionPropagation SelectionPropagation No Control Selection Propagation Behavior. Choose whether you want to auto-select children or parents.
indentationMultiplier number No Indentation (marginStart) per level (defaults to 15)
treeFlashListProps TreeFlatListProps No Props for the flash list
checkBoxViewStyleProps BuiltInCheckBoxViewStyleProps No Props for the checkbox view
CheckboxComponent ComponentType<CheckBoxViewProps> No A custom checkbox component. Defaults to React Native Paper's Checkbox
ExpandCollapseIconComponent ComponentType<ExpandIconProps> No A custom expand/collapse icon component
ExpandCollapseTouchableComponent ComponentType<TouchableOpacityProps> No A custom expand/collapse touchable component
CustomNodeRowComponent React.ComponentType<NodeRowProps> No Custom row item component

ℹ️ data prop is not stateful! You will need to update the key prop to force TreeView to re-render.

ℹ️ If CustomNodeRowComponent is provided then below props are not applied:

  1. indentationMultiplier
  2. checkBoxViewStyleProps
  3. CheckboxComponent
  4. ExpandCollapseIconComponent
  5. ExpandCollapseTouchableComponent.

⚠️ If the tree view doesn't scroll if rendered in a complex nested scroll view/s then try setting the renderScrollComponent value in treeFlashListProps to ScrollView from react-native-gesture-handler.


TreeNode

Property Type Required Description
id string Yes Unique identifier for the node
name string Yes The display name of the node
children TreeNode[] No An array of child TreeNode objects
[key: string] any No Any additional properties for the node
(May be useful to perform search on)

TreeViewRef

Property Type Description
selectAll () => void Selects all nodes
unselectAll () => void Unselects all nodes
selectAllFiltered () => void Selects all filtered nodes
unselectAllFiltered () => void Unselects all filtered nodes

collapseAll () => void Collapses all nodes
expandNodes (ids: string[]) => void Expands specified nodes
collapseNodes (ids: string[]) => void Collapses specified nodes
selectNodes (ids: string[]) => void Selects specified nodes
unSelectNodes (ids: string[]) => void Unselects specified nodes

🙌 Planned features

  • Row Item full-customization
  • Prop to control auto children and parents selection. Can now be done using selectionPropagation prop 🎉
  • Prop to set the maximum checked item limit
  • Prop to disable certain nodes from getting checked
  • Ref function to programatically expand/collapse a certain node
  • Ref function to programatically un/check a certain node
  • Ref function to auto-scroll to a certain node's position

If you do not see what you want in the planned feature list, raise a feature request.
