Getting started with Angular TreeGrid component

30 Jan 202624 minutes to read

This section outlines the steps required to create an Essential® JS 2 TreeGrid and demonstrates basic usage of the Angular TreeGrid control within an Angular CLI application.

Note: This guide supports Angular 21 and other recent Angular versions. For detailed compatibility with other Angular versions, please refer to the Angular version support matrix. Starting from Angular 19, standalone components are the default, and this guide reflects that architecture.

To get started quickly with the Angular TreeGrid using CLI and Schematics, refer to the following video:

Setup Angular environment

Use the Angular CLI to set up Angular applications. To install Angular CLI, execute:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Angular 21 Standalone Architecture: Standalone components are the default in Angular 21. This guide uses the modern standalone architecture. For more information about the standalone architecture, refer to the Standalone Guide.

Installing a specific version

To install a particular version of Angular CLI, use:

npm install -g @angular/[email protected]

Create a new application

With Angular CLI installed, execute this command to generate a new application:

ng new syncfusion-angular-app
  • This command will prompt to configure settings like enabling Angular routing and choosing a stylesheet format.
? Which stylesheet format would you like to use? (Use arrow keys)
> CSS             [ https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS                     ]
  Sass (SCSS)     [ https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#scss                ]
  Sass (Indented) [ https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#the-indented-syntax ]
  Less            [ http://lesscss.org                                             ]
  • By default, a CSS-based application is created. Use SCSS if required:
ng new syncfusion-angular-app --style=scss
  • During project setup, when prompted for the Server-side rendering (SSR) option, choose the appropriate configuration.

Initial_setup

  • Select the required AI tool or ‘none’ if you do not need any AI tool.

Initial_setup

  • Navigate to your newly created application directory:
cd syncfusion-angular-app

Note: In Angular 19 and below, it uses app.component.ts, app.component.html, app.component.css etc. In Angular 20+, the CLI generates a simpler structure with src/app/app.ts, app.html, and app.css (no .component. suffixes).

Adding Syncfusion® Angular packages

Syncfusion®’s Angular component packages are available on npmjs.com. To use Syncfusion® Angular components, install the necessary package.

This guide uses the Angular TreeGrid Component for demonstration. Add the Angular TreeGrid component with:

ng add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid

This command will perform the following configurations:

  • Add the @syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid package and peer dependencies to your package.json.
  • Import the TreeGrid component in your application.
  • Register the default Syncfusion® Material theme in angular.json.

For more details on version compatibility, refer to the Version Compatibility section.

Syncfusion® offers two package structures for Angular components:

  1. Ivy library distribution package format
  2. Angular compatibility compiler (ngcc), which is Angular’s legacy compilation pipeline.
    Syncfusion®’s latest Angular packages are provided as Ivy-compatible and suited for Angular 12 and above. To install the package, execute:
    ng add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid

    For applications not compiled with Ivy, use the ngcc tagged packages:

    The ngcc packages are still compatible with Angular CLI versions 15 and below. However, they may generate warnings suggesting the use of Ivy compiled packages. Starting from Angular 16, support for the ngcc package has been completely removed. If you have further questions regarding ngcc compatibility, please refer to the following FAQ.

    npm add @syncfusion/[email protected]

Registering TreeGrid module

Import the TreeGridModule from the @syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid package into the Angular application (src/app/app.component.ts).

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { TreeGridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [ TreeGridModule ],
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrl: './app.component.css'
})
export class AppComponent { }

Adding CSS references

Syncfusion® Angular component themes can be added in various ways: via CSS or SCSS styles from npm packages, CDN, CRG, or Theme Studio.

The Material theme is added to your styles.css when you run ng add (this happens automatically by default).

To stylize only specific Syncfusion® components, import the necessary styles. For example, to style only the TreeGrid component:

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-calendars/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-grids/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid/styles/material.css';

Ensure that the import order aligns with the component’s dependency sequence.

For using SCSS styles, refer to this guide.

Add TreeGrid component

Modify the template in src/app/app.ts to render the TreeGrid component. Add the Angular TreeGrid by using <ejs-treegrid> selector in template section of the app.component.ts file.

import { TreeGridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    imports: [ TreeGridModule ],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-treegrid></ejs-treegrid>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    ngOnInit(): void { }
}

Defining row data

Bind data to the TreeGrid using the dataSource property. This accepts an array of JavaScript objects or a DataManager instance.

import { TreeGridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';

@Component({
    imports: [ TreeGridModule ],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-treegrid [dataSource]='data'></ejs-treegrid>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public data!: Object[];
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = sampleData;
    }
}

Defining columns

TreeGrid columns are defined as an array. The following properties customize columns:

  • field: Maps to a property in the data source.
  • headerText: Sets the column header title.
  • textAlign: Adjusts the column alignment (default is left; set to Right for right alignment).
  • format: Formats number and date values using standard or custom formats.

Tree Column Index

The tree column is the column that displays the hierarchical structure with expand/collapse icons. Specify which column acts as the tree column using the treeColumnIndex property. This property accepts a zero-based column index (0 = first column, 1 = second column, etc.). For example, if the treeColumnIndex is set to 0, the first column will display the expand/collapse tree icons and hierarchical data. Only one column can be a tree column.

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

In the above example, hierarchical data binding uses the childMapping property to define hierarchy. For self-referencing data binding, use idMapping and parentIdMapping to establish hierarchy.

Module injection

To create a TreeGrid with additional features, inject the required modules. The following modules extend the TreeGrid’s basic functionality:

  • PageService - Inject this service to enable paging features.
  • SortService - Inject this service to enable sorting features.
  • FilterService - Inject this service to enable filtering features.

These modules should be injected into the providers section of the root NgModule or component class.

Additional feature modules are available here.

Enable paging

Paging divides TreeGrid records into manageable pages, improving performance with large datasets. Enable paging by:

  1. Setting the allowPaging property to true
  2. Injecting the PageService module in the component’s providers array

Important: If PageService is not injected, paging controls won’t appear even if allowPaging is set to true.

Example:

@Component({
  // ... other component properties
  providers: [PageService]
})

Customizing the pager: Use the pageSettings property to customize pager behavior (page size, page size options, etc.).

Root-Level Paging Mode

By default, TreeGrid counts ALL records (parent and child) when calculating pages. In root-level paging mode, only parent-level rows are paged; child rows don’t affect pagination. This is useful for large hierarchies where you want to show only 10 parent groups per page, regardless of how many children they have.

Enable root-level paging with the pageSettings.pageSizeMode property set to Root.

Enable sorting

Sorting allows records to be ordered. Set the allowSorting property to true and inject the SortService module. If SortService is not injected, sorting via headers is unavailable.

Customize sorting with the sortSettings property.

Enable filtering

Filtering displays a reduced subset of records based on criteria. Enable it by setting the allowFiltering property to true and injecting the FilterService module. If FilterService is not injected, the filter bar will not be rendered.

Customize filtering using the filterSettings property.

By default, filtered records are shown with their parent records. Modify this using filterSettings.hierarchyMode.

Handling errors

TreeGrid identifies exceptions and notifies them through the actionFailure event. This event is triggered when errors occur due to incorrect configuration or invalid API usage. The actionFailure event handles scenarios such as:

The following example demonstrates use of the actionFailure event to display an exception for a missing isPrimaryKey configuration:

import { TreeGridAllModule, TreeGridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid';
import { Component, OnInit ,ViewChild} from '@angular/core';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';
import { EditSettingsModel,EditService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid';

@Component({
    imports: [TreeGridAllModule],
    providers: [EditService],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-treegrid #treegrid [dataSource]='data' [treeColumnIndex]='1' height='270' [editSettings]='editSettings' childMapping='subtasks'  (actionFailure)="onActionFailure($event)" >
                    <e-columns>
                        <e-column field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' textAlign='Right' width=90></e-column>
