Element: <oj-tree-view>

Slots

JET elements can have up to two types of child content:

• Any child element with a slot attribute will be moved into that named slot, e.g. <span slot='startIcon'>...</span>. All supported named slots are documented below. Child elements with unsupported named slots will be removed from the DOM.
• Any child element lacking a slot attribute will be moved to the default slot, also known as a regular child.

contextMenu

The contextMenu slot is set on the oj-menu within this element. This is used to designate the JET Menu that this component should launch as a context menu on right-click, Shift-F10, Press & Hold, or component-specific gesture. If specified, the browser's native context menu will be replaced by the JET Menu specified in this slot.

The application can register a listener for the Menu's ojBeforeOpen event. The listener can cancel the launch via event.preventDefault(), or it can customize the menu contents by editing the menu DOM directly, and then calling refresh() on the Menu.

To help determine whether it's appropriate to cancel the launch or customize the menu, the ojBeforeOpen listener can use component API's to determine which table cell, chart item, etc., is the target of the context menu. See the JSDoc and demos of the individual components for details.

Keep in mind that any such logic must work whether the context menu was launched via right-click, Shift-F10, Press & Hold, or component-specific touch gesture.

Example

Initialize the component with a context menu:

<oj-some-element>
    <-- use the contextMenu slot to designate this as the context menu for this component -->
    <oj-menu slot="contextMenu" style="display:none" aria-label="Some element's context menu">
...
    </oj-menu>
</oj-some-element>

Attributes

(readonly) current-item :any

The key of the item that has the browser focus. This is a read-only attribute so page authors cannot set or change it directly.

Supports writeback:

• true

Names

Item	Name
Property	currentItem
Property change event	currentItemChanged
Property change listener attribute (must be of type function)	on-current-item-changed

Example

Get the current item:

myTreeView.currentItem;

data :oj.TreeDataSource

The data source for the TreeView. Accepts an instance of oj.TreeDataSource. See the data source section in the introduction for out of the box data source types. If the data attribute is not specified, the child elements are used as content. If there's no content specified, then an empty list is rendered.

Default Value:

• null

dnd.drag :Object

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
items	Object	If this object is specified, TreeView will initiate drag operation when the user drags on an item. Properties Name Type Argument Description dataTypes string | Array.<string> <optional> (optional) The MIME types to use for the dragged data in the dataTransfer object. This can be a string if there is only one type, or an array of strings if multiple types are needed. For example, if selected items of employee data are being dragged, dataTypes could be "application/employees+json". Drop targets can examine the data types and decide whether to accept the data. A text input may only accept "text" data type, while a chart for displaying employee data may be configured to accept the "application/employees+json" type. For each type in the array, dataTransfer.setData will be called with the specified type and the JSON version of the selected item data as the value. The selected item data is an array of objects, with each object representing a model object from the underlying data source. For example, if the underlying data is an oj.Collection, then this would be a oj.Model object. Note that when static HTML is used, then the value would be the HTML string of the selected item. This property is required unless the application calls setData itself in a dragStart callback function. dragStart function(Event, {items: Array.<D>}):void <optional> (optional) A callback function that receives the "dragstart" event and context information as arguments: function(event, context) All of the event payloads listed below can be found under the context argument. items: An array of objects, with each object representing the data of one selected item. This function can set its own data and drag image as needed. If dataTypes is specified, event.dataTransfer is already populated with the default data when this function is invoked. If dataTypes is not specified, this function must call event.dataTransfer.setData to set the data or else the drag operation will be cancelled. In either case, the drag image is set to an image of the dragged items on the TreeView. drag function(Event):void <optional> (optional) A callback function that receives the "drag" event as argument: function(event) dragEnd function(Event):void <optional> (optional) A callback function that receives the "dragend" event as argument: function(event)

Default Value:

• null

Names

Item	Name
Property	dnd.drag

Example

Initialize the TreeView such that only leaf items are focusable:

This property is required unless dragEnter, dragOver, and drop callback functions are specified to handle the corresponding events. dragEnter function(Event, {item: Element}):void <optional> (optional) A callback function that receives the "dragenter" event and context information as arguments: function(event, context) All of the event payloads listed below can be found under the context argument. item: The item being entered. This function should call event.preventDefault() to indicate the dragged data can be accepted. Otherwise, dataTypes will be matched against the drag dataTypes to determine if the data is acceptable. If there is a match, event.preventDefault() will be called to indicate that the data can be accepted. dragOver function(Event, {item: Element}):void <optional> (optional) A callback function that receives the "dragover" event and context information as arguments: function(event, context) All of the event payloads listed below can be found under the context argument. item: The item being dragged over. This function should call event.preventDefault() to indicate the dragged data can be accepted. Otherwise, dataTypes will be matched against the drag dataTypes to determine if the data is acceptable. If there is a match, event.preventDefault() will be called to indicate that the data can be accepted. dragLeave function(Event, {item: Element}):void <optional> (optional) A callback function that receives the "dragleave" event and context information as arguments: function(event, context) All of the event payloads listed below can be found under the context argument. item: The item that was last entered. drop function(Event, oj.ojTreeView.ItemsDropOnDropContext):void (required) A callback function that receives the "drop" event and context information as arguments: function(event, context) All of the event payloads listed below can be found under the context argument. item: The item being dropped on. position: The drop position relative to the item being dropped on. Valid values are "inside", "before", "after", and "first" (the first child of the item being dropped on). This function should call event.preventDefault() to indicate the dragged data can be accepted. If the application needs to look at the data for the item being dropped on, it can use the getContextByNode method.
