Data binding in Angular Treegrid component
8 Jun 202424 minutes to read
The TreeGrid uses DataManager, which supports both RESTful JSON data services binding and local JavaScript object array binding. The dataSource property can be assigned either with the instance of DataManager or JavaScript object array collection.
It supports two kinds of data binding method:
- Local data
- Remote data
To learn about how to bind local or remote data to Tree Grid, you can check on this video:
Binding with ajax
You can use TreeGrid dataSource property to bind the data source to TreeGrid from external fetch request. In the below code we have fetched the data source from the server with the help of fetch request and provided that to dataSource property by using onSuccess event of the fetch.

- If you bind the dataSource from this way, then it acts like a local dataSource. So you cannot perform any server side crud actions.
Handling expandStateMapping
To denotes the expand status of parent row, define the expandStateMapping property of tree grid.
The expandStateMapping property maps the field name in data source, that denotes whether parent record is in expanded or collapsed state and this is useful to renders parent row in expanded or collapsed state based on this mapping property value in data source.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DataManager, UrlAdaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import './App.css';
@Component({
selector: 'app-container',
template: `<ejs-treegrid [dataSource]='data' [treeColumnIndex]='1' height='400' hasChildMapping='isParent', idMapping='TaskID' expandStateMapping='IsExpanded' parentIdMapping='ParentValue'>
<e-columns>
<e-column field='TaskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
<e-column field='TaskName' headerText='Task Name' width='180'></e-column>
<e-column field='Duration' headerText='Duration' width='80' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
</e-columns>
</ejs-treegrid>`
