A React component for Drag-and-drop sortable representation of hierarchical data.
We are going to see how we can use react sortable tree . React Sortable tree is an UI Component . There are variety of types of Sortable tree component in React . We are going to check few examples of React Sortable Tree .
Have a look at React Download File example.
let’s get started and follow step by step Process.
Installing React Sortable Tree
We are going to install react sortable tree component library from NPM repository.
Install react-sortable-tree :
npm install react-sortable-tree --save
yarn add react-sortable-treeProps of react-sortable-tree
| Props | Type | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| treeData (required) | object[] | Tree data with the following keys: titleis the primary label for the node.subtitleis a secondary label for the node.expandedshows children of the node if true, or hides them if false. Defaults to false.childrenis an array of child nodes belonging to the node.Example:[{title: 'main', subtitle: 'sub'}, { title: 'value2', expanded: true, children: [{ title: 'value3') }] }] | 
| onChange (required) | func | Called whenever tree data changed. Just like with React input elements, you have to update your own component’s data to see the changes reflected. ( treeData: object[] ): void | 
| getNodeKey (recommended) | func | Specify the unique key used to identify each node and generate the patharray passed in callbacks. With a setting ofgetNodeKey={({ node }) => node.id}, for example, in callbacks this will let you easily determine that the node with anidof35is (or has just become) a child of the node with anidof12, which is a child of … and so on. It usesdefaultGetNodeKeyby default, which returns the index in the tree (omitting hidden nodes).({ node: object, treeIndex: number }): string or number | 
| generateNodeProps | func | Generate an object with additional props to be passed to the node renderer. Use this for adding buttons via the buttonskey, or additionalstyle/classNamesettings.({ node: object, path: number[] or string[], treeIndex: number, lowerSiblingCounts: number[], isSearchMatch: bool, isSearchFocus: bool }): object | 
| onMoveNode | func | Called after node move operation. ({ treeData: object[], node: object, nextParentNode: object, prevPath: number[] or string[], prevTreeIndex: number, nextPath: number[] or string[], nextTreeIndex: number }): void | 
| onVisibilityToggle | func | Called after children nodes collapsed or expanded. ({ treeData: object[], node: object, expanded: bool, path: number[] or string[] }): void | 
| onDragStateChanged | func | Called when a drag is initiated or ended. ({ isDragging: bool, draggedNode: object }): void | 
| maxDepth | number | Maximum depth nodes can be inserted at. Defaults to infinite. | 
| rowDirection | string | Adds row direction support if set to 'rtl'Defaults to'ltr'. | 
| canDrag | func or bool | Return false from callback to prevent node from dragging, by hiding the drag handle. Set prop to falseto disable dragging on all nodes. Defaults totrue.({ node: object, path: number[] or string[], treeIndex: number, lowerSiblingCounts: number[], isSearchMatch: bool, isSearchFocus: bool }): bool | 
| canDrop | func | Return false to prevent node from dropping in the given location. ({ node: object, prevPath: number[] or string[], prevParent: object, prevTreeIndex: number, nextPath: number[] or string[], nextParent: object, nextTreeIndex: number }): bool | 
| canNodeHaveChildren | func | Function to determine whether a node can have children, useful for preventing hover preview when you have a canDropcondition. Default is set to a function that returnstrue. Functions should be of type(node): bool. | 
| theme | object | Set an all-in-one packaged appearance for the tree. See the Themes section for more information. | 
| searchMethod | func | The method used to search nodes. Defaults to defaultSearchMethod, which uses thesearchQuerystring to search for nodes with matchingtitleorsubtitlevalues. NOTE: ChangingsearchMethodwill not update the search, but changing thesearchQuerywill.({ node: object, path: number[] or string[], treeIndex: number, searchQuery: any }): bool | 
| searchQuery | string or any | Used by the searchMethodto highlight and scroll to matched nodes. Should be a string for the defaultsearchMethod, but can be anything when using a custom search. Defaults tonull. | 
| searchFocusOffset | number | Outline the < searchFocusOffset>th node and scroll to it. | 
| onlyExpandSearchedNodes | boolean | Only expand the nodes that match searches. Collapses all other nodes. Defaults to false. | 
| searchFinishCallback | func | Get the nodes that match the search criteria. Used for counting total matches, etc. (matches: { node: object, path: number[] or string[], treeIndex: number }[]): void | 
| dndType | string | String value used by react-dnd (see overview at the link) for dropTargets and dragSources types. If not set explicitly, a default value is applied by react-sortable-tree for you for its internal use. NOTE: Must be explicitly set and the same value used in order for correct functioning of external nodes | 
| shouldCopyOnOutsideDrop | func or bool | Return true, or a callback returning true, and dropping nodes to react-dnd drop targets outside of the tree will not remove them from the tree. Defaults to false.({ node: object, prevPath: number[] or string[], prevTreeIndex: number, }): bool | 
| reactVirtualizedListProps | object | Custom properties to hand to the internal react-virtualized List | 
| style | object | Style applied to the container wrapping the tree (style defaults to {height: '100%'}) | 
| innerStyle | object | Style applied to the inner, scrollable container (for padding, etc.) | 
| className | string | Class name for the container wrapping the tree | 
| rowHeight | number or func | Used by react-sortable-tree. Defaults to 62. Either a fixed row height (number) or a function that returns the height of a row given its index:({ treeIndex: number, node: object, path: number[] or string[] }): number | 
| slideRegionSize | number | Size in px of the region near the edges that initiates scrolling on dragover. Defaults to 100. | 
| scaffoldBlockPxWidth | number | The width of the blocks containing the lines representing the structure of the tree. Defaults to 44. | 
| isVirtualized | bool | Set to false to disable virtualization. Defaults to true. NOTE: Auto-scrolling while dragging, and scrolling to thesearchFocusOffsetwill be disabled. | 
| nodeContentRenderer | any | Override the default component ( NodeRendererDefault) for rendering nodes (but keep the scaffolding generator). This is a last resort for customization – most custom styling should be able to be solved withgenerateNodeProps, athemeor CSS rules. If you must use it, is best to copy the component innode-renderer-default.jsto use as a base, and customize as needed. | 
| placeholderRenderer | any | Override the default placeholder component ( PlaceholderRendererDefault) which is displayed when the tree is empty. This is an advanced option, and in most cases should probably be solved with athemeor custom CSS instead. | 
Few Sortable Tree Examples
1. Simple sortable tree
This example shows the drag and drop sortable component .It doesn’t have collapsible feature . Have a look at the code below .
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import SortableTree from 'react-sortable-tree';
import 'react-sortable-tree/style.css'; // This only needs to be imported once in your app
 
export default class SortTree extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
 
    this.state = {
      treeData: [
        { title: 'Comic Books', children: [{ title: 'Amazing Spider-Man' },{ title: 'The Incredible Hulk' },{ title: 'Action Comics' },{ title: 'Batman' },{ title: 'New Avengers' }] },
        { title: 'Historical Fiction', children: [{ title: 'The Help' },{ title: 'All the Light We Cannot See' },{ title: ' The Color Purple' },{ title: ' War and Peace' }] },
      ],
    };
  }
 
  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{ height: 800 }}>
        <SortableTree
          treeData={this.state.treeData}
          onChange={treeData => this.setState({ treeData })}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}2. Sortable tree with Expend and Collapse functionality
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import SortableTree,  {toggleExpandedForAll} from 'react-sortable-tree';
import { Button, Divider} from 'semantic-ui-react';
import 'react-sortable-tree/style.css'; // This only needs to be imported once in your app
 
export default class SortTree extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
 
    this.state = {
      treeData: [
        { title: 'Comic Books', children: [{ title: 'Amazing Spider-Man' },{ title: 'The Incredible Hulk' },{ title: 'Action Comics' },{ title: 'Batman' },{ title: 'New Avengers' }] },
        { title: 'Historical Fiction', children: [{ title: 'The Help' },{ title: 'All the Light We Cannot See' },{ title: ' The Color Purple' },{ title: ' War and Peace' }] },
      ],
    };
  }
  expandAndCollapse = (expanded) => {
    this.setState({
      treeData: toggleExpandedForAll({
        treeData: this.state.treeData,
        expanded,
      }),
    });
   };
 
  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{ height: 800 }}>
        <h2>React Sortable Tree</h2>
        <Divider></Divider>
        <Button size='mini' color='blue' onClick={() => { this.expandAndCollapse(true); }}>Expand all</Button>
        <Button size='mini' color='blue' onClick={() => { this.expandAndCollapse(false); }}>Collapse all</Button>
        <SortableTree
          treeData={this.state.treeData}

                <Button size='mini' basic color='blue' circular icon='trash' onClick={(e) => { e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); this.removeNode(path) }} />
              </form>
            )
          })}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}Conclusion :-
We have seen a variety of Sortable Tree examples in react . You can use any of them in your project based on the requirements .
