ra-tree-core

A component to display hierarchized data in react-admin. This package is UI agnostic. It provides redux actions, reducers and a component using render prop.

Installation

npm install --save ra-tree-core
# or 
yarn add ra-tree-core

Usage

With a categories resource having this structure where a category may have a parent category referenced by the parent_id field:

[
    { "id": 1, "name": "Clothing" },
    { "id": 2, "name": "Men", "parent_id": 1 },
    { "id": 3, "name": "Suits", "parent_id": 2 },
    { "id": 4, "name": "Slacks", "parent_id": 3 },
    { "id": 5, "name": "Jackets", "parent_id": 3 },
    { "id": 6, "name": "Women", "parent_id": 1 },
    { "id": 7, "name": "Dresses", "parent_id": 6 },
    { "id": 8, "name": "Evening Gowns", "parent_id": 7 },
    { "id": 9, "name": "Sun Dresses", "parent_id": 7 },
    { "id": 10, "name": "Skirts", "parent_id": 6 },
    { "id": 11, "name": "Blouses", "parent_id": 6 }
]

First, you need to register the tree reducer and the translations:

// in App.js
import React from 'react';
import { Admin, Resource, mergeTranslations } from 'react-admin';
import { reducer as tree } from 'ra-tree-ui-materialui';
import englishMessages from 'ra-language-english';
import treeEnglishMessages from 'ra-tree-language-english';
 
import dataProvider from './dataProvider';
import posts from './posts';
import tags from './tags';
 
const messages = {
    'en': mergeTranslations(englishMessages, treeEnglishMessages),
};
const i18nProvider = locale => messages[locale];
 
const App = () => (
    <Admin
        dataProvider={dataProvider}
        i18nProvider={i18nProvider}
        locale="en"
        // Note that you cannot name it anything other than `tree`
        customReducers={{ tree }}
    >
        <Resource name="posts" {...posts} />
        <Resource name="tags" {...tags} />
    </Admin>
)

You can then use the tree components:

// in src/category/list.js
import React from 'react';
import {
    List,
    TextField,
} from 'react-admin';
import { TreeController } from 'ra-tree-core';
import TreeNode from './TreeNode';
 
export const CategoriesList = (props) => (
    <TreeController resource="categories" {...props}>
        {({ tree }) => (
            <Fragment>
                {tree.map(node => <TreeNode node={node} />)}
            </Fragment>
        )}
    </TreeController>
);

The TreeController component calls the dataProvider for the categories resource, and build an internal tree structure based on the results. Note that every category which does not have a parent will be considered a root node. The TreeController component then calls its child function, which is responsible for the actual rendering.

Note that your dataProvider must handle three new verbs: GET_TREE_ROOT_NODES, GET_TREE_CHILDREN_NODES, and MOVE_NODE.

GET_TREE_ROOT_NODES

Should fetch the root nodes for the specified resource. It receives no parameters and should return an array of records as its data.

GET_TREE_CHILDREN_NODES

Should fetch the leaves of the specified node. It receives the following parameter:

  • id: the identifier of the node for which we want to fetch the leaves

The dataProvider should return an array of records as its data.

MOVE_NODE

Called when a node is moved either to a new parent, or to a new position. It receives the following parameters:

  • data: the new node, updated
  • previousData: the node before the update

Note: It is your responsibility to correctly update the siblings if necessary according to the new node position.

API

Meant to be used as an alternative to the ListController component.

The TreeController accepts the following props:

  • children: A function which will be called with a single object argument having the following props
    • nodes: an array of the root nodes identifiers
    • toggleNode: a function which takes a node identifier and toggles its expanded state
    • expandNode: a function which takes a node identifier and explicitly expands it
    • closeNode: a function which takes a node identifier and explicitly closes it
    • any additional props received by the TreeController component
  • parentSource: The field used as the parent identifier for each node. Defaults to parent_id
  • positionSource: The field used to order nodes. Optional.

Actions

This package also exports several actions to interact with the Tree:

  • crudGetTreeRootNodes: Called automatically by the <TreeController> component, trigger a fetch of the root nodes.
  • crudGetTreeChildrenNodes: Trigger a fetch of the leaves for a specific node.
  • crudMoveNode: Trigger a fetch which will update a node parent and its position (if specified).
  • toggleNode, expandNode and closeNode to control if a node is expanded.

Roadmap

  • Support nested set hierarchical data
  • TreeSelectInputController to select a value inside the hierarchical data (with autocomplete showing the matched nodes)
  • TreeNodeFieldController to show a node and its hierarchy. It should recursively fetch the parents by default, accepting a custom function to fetch them in one call (fetchHierarchy).
