Sorting treeview level wise in Angular Treeview component

13 Feb 20238 minutes to read

You can sort the TreeView nodes based on their level. When using the sortOrder property, the whole TreeView is sorted. When you sort a particular level, you can use the following code sample. The following code sample demonstrates how to sort the parent node alone in TreeView.

app.component.ts

import { Component, Inject, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { TreeViewComponent, NodeExpandEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
import { DataManager, Query } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
/**
 * Treeview Disable check box of parent nodes sample
 */
@Component({
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<div id='treeparent'><ejs-treeview id='treeElement' #treevalidate [fields]='field'  (nodeExpanding)='onNodeExpand($event)' (created)='onCreate($event)'></ejs-treeview></div>`
})
export class AppComponent {

   // Data source for TreeView component
   public Countries: Object[] = [
    { id: 1, name: 'India', hasChild: true },
    { id: 2, pid: 1, name: 'Assam' },
    { id: 3, pid: 1, name: 'Bihar' },
    { id: 4, pid: 1, name: 'Tamil Nadu' },
    { id: 6, pid: 1, name: 'Punjab' },
    { id: 7, name: 'Brazil', hasChild: true },
    { id: 8, pid: 7, name: 'Paraná' },
    { id: 9, pid: 7, name: 'Ceará' },
    { id: 10, pid: 7, name: 'Acre' },
    { id: 11, name: 'France', hasChild: true },
    { id: 12, pid: 11, name: 'Pays de la Loire' },
    { id: 13, pid: 11, name: 'Aquitaine' },
    { id: 14, pid: 11, name: 'Brittany' },
    { id: 15, pid: 11, name: 'Lorraine' },
    { id: 16, name: 'Australia', hasChild: true },
    { id: 17, pid: 16, name: 'New South Wales' },
    { id: 18, pid: 16, name: 'Victoria' },
    { id: 19, pid: 16, name: 'South Australia' },
    { id: 20, pid: 16, name: 'Western Australia' },
    { id: 21, name: 'China', hasChild: true },
    { id: 22, pid: 21, name: 'Guangzhou' },
    { id: 23, pid: 21, name: 'Shanghai' },
    { id: 24, pid: 21, name: 'Beijing' },
    { id: 25, pid: 21, name: 'Shantou' }
   ]

    public field:Object ={  dataSource: this.Countries, id: 'id', text: 'name', parentID: 'pid', hasChildren: 'hasChild' };
    public newData;
    @ViewChild ('treevalidate') tree: TreeViewComponent;

    public onNodeExpand(args: NodeExpandEventArgs): void {
        if (args.isInteracted){
            let childData =  new DataManager(this.newData).executeLocal(new Query().where(this.tree.fields.parentID, 'equal', parseInt(args.nodeData.id), false));
            this.tree.addNodes(childData, args.node,null)
        }
    }

    public onCreate(){
        this.newData = this.tree.fields.dataSource;
        // Selects the first level nodes alone
        let resultData = new DataManager(this.newData).executeLocal(new Query().where(this.tree.fields.parentID, 'equal', undefined, false));
        let name = [];
        for (let i = 0; i < resultData.length; i++){
            name.push(resultData[i][this.tree.fields.text]);
        }
        name.sort();
        let arr = [];
        for (let j = 0; j < name.length; j++) {
            let sortedData = new DataManager(this.newData).executeLocal(new Query().where(this.tree.fields.text, 'equal', name[j], false));
            let childData =  new DataManager(this.newData).executeLocal(new Query().where(this.tree.fields.parentID, 'equal', parseInt(sortedData[0][this.tree.fields.id]), false));
            arr.push(sortedData[0]);
        }
        // Renders treeview with sorted Nodes
        this.changeDataSource(arr);
        this.tree.dataBind();
    }

    public changeDataSource(data){
        this.tree.fields = {
            dataSource: data, id: 'id', text: 'name', parentID: 'pid', hasChildren: 'hasChild'
        }
    }
