Getting started in EJ2 TypeScript TreeMap control

7 May 202524 minutes to read

This section explains the steps to create a simple TreeGrid and demonstrates the basic usage of the TreeGrid component using the Essential^® JS 2 quickstart seed repository. This seed repository is pre-configured with the Essential^® JS 2 package.

This application is integrated with the webpack.config.js configuration and uses the latest version of the webpack-cli. It requires node v14.15.0 or higher. For more information about webpack and its features, refer to the webpack documentation.

Dependencies

The following list of minimum dependencies are required to use the TreeMap control:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-treemap
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-pdf-export
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-svg-base

Set up development environment

Open the command prompt from the required directory, and run the following command to clone the Syncfusion^® JavaScript (Essential^® JS 2) quickstart project from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/SyncfusionExamples/ej2-quickstart-webpack- ej2-quickstart

After cloning the application in the ej2-quickstart folder, run the following command line to navigate to the ej2-quickstart folder.

cd ej2-quickstart

Add Syncfusion^® JavaScript packages

Syncfusion^® JavaScript (Essential^® JS 2) packages are available on the npmjs.com public registry. You can install all Syncfusion^® JavaScript (Essential^® JS 2) controls in a single @syncfusion/ej2 package or individual packages for each control.

The quickstart application is preconfigured with the dependent @syncfusion/ej2 package in the ~/package.json file. Use the following command to install the dependent npm packages from the command prompt.

npm install

Add TreeMap control to the project

The Essential^® JS2 TreeMap control can be added to the application. To get started, add the TreeMap control to the app.ts and index.html files using the following code.

Add an HTML div element to act as the TreeMap element in the index.html file using the following code.

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>EJ2 TreeMap</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls" />
    <meta name="author" content="Syncfusion" />
</head>

<body>
    <!--container which is going to render the TreeMap-->
    <div id='container'>
    </div>
</body>

</html>

Import the TreeMap control in the app.ts to initialize the TreeMap.
dataSource: The data source for the TreeMap is set to the data array.
weightValuePath: It specifies the data property (“Sales”) that determines the size of the TreeMap items.
leafItemSettings: This section defines the appearance and label settings for the leaf items (car companies), including the label path, border, and label style.
levels: The TreeMap is configured with grouping levels. In this case, it groups data by “Continent” and specifies the border settings.
palette: A custom color palette is defined to colorize the TreeMap items.
The TreeMap is rendered using treemap.appendTo(‘#container’). The TreeMap is displayed within an HTML element with the ID “container.

app.ts
import { TreeMap } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treemap';

const data: Object[] = [
    { Continent: "China", Company: "Volkswagen", Sales: 3005994 },
    { Continent: "China", Company: "General Motors", Sales: 1230044 },
    { Continent: "China", Company: "Honda", Sales: 1197023 },
    { Continent: "United States", Company: "General Motors", Sales:3042775  },
    { Continent: "United States", Company: "Ford", Sales:2599193  },
    { Continent: "United States", Company: "Toyota", Sales:2449587  },
    { Continent: "Japan",Company: "Toyota", Sales:1527977  },
    { Continent: "Japan", Company: "Honda", Sales:706982 },
    { Continent: "Japan", Company: "Suzuki", Sales:623041  },
    { Continent: "Germany",Company: "Volkswagen", Sales:655977  },
    { Continent: "Germany", Company: "Mercedes", Sales:310845  },
    { Continent: "Germany", Company: "BMW", Sales:261931  },
    { Continent: "United Kingdom", Company: "Ford ", Sales:319442  },
    { Continent: "United Kingdom", Company: "Vauxhall", Sales: 251146 },
    { Continent: "United Kingdom", Company: "Volkswagen", Sales:206994  },
    { Continent: "India", Company: "Maruti Suzuki", Sales:1443654  },
    { Continent: "India", Company: "Hyundai", Sales:476241  },
    { Continent: "India", Company: "Mahindra", Sales:205041  },
    { Continent: "France", Company: "Renault", Sales:408183 },
    { Continent: "France", Company: "Peugeot", Sales:336242 },
    { Continent: "France", Company: "Citroen", Sales:194986  },
    { Continent: "Brazil", Company: "Flat Chrysler", Sales:368842  },
    { Continent: "Brazil", Company: "General Motors", Sales: 348351 },
    { Continent: "Brazil", Company: "Volkswagen", Sales: 245895 },
    { Continent: "Italy", Company: "Flat Chrysler", Sales:386260  },
    { Continent: "Italy", Company: "Volkswagen", Sales: 138984 },
    { Continent: "Italy", Company: "Ford", Sales: 125144 },
    { Continent: "Canada", Company: "Ford", Sales:305086},
    { Continent: "Canada", Company: "FCA", Sales:278011 },
    { Continent: "Canada", Company: "GM", Sales: 266884 }
];
// Initialize the tree map control
let treemap: TreeMap = new TreeMap({
    dataSource: data,
    weightValuePath: 'Sales',
    leafItemSettings: {
        labelPath: 'Company',
        border: { color: 'white', width: 0.5 },
        labelStyle: {
            fontFamily: 'Segoe UI'
        }
    },
    levels: [
        {
            groupPath: 'Continent', border: { color: 'white', width: 0.5 },
        }
    ],
    palette: ['#C33764', '#AB3566', '#993367', '#853169', '#742F6A', '#632D6C', '#532C6D', '#412A6F', '#312870', '#1D2671'],
});

// Render the initialized tree map
treemap.appendTo('#container');

Since data source has not been bound to the tree map control, no items will be rendered. Only an empty SVG element is appended to the tree map container.

Run the application

The quickstart project is configured to compile and run the application in the browser. Use the following command to run the application.

npm start

Module injection

The tree map control is segregated into individual feature-wise modules. To use a particular feature, inject its feature module using the TreeMap.Inject() method. Find the modules available in tree map and their descriptions are as follows:

TreeMapHighlight - Inject this provider to use highlight feature.
TreeMapSelection - Inject this provider to use selection feature.
TreeMapLegend - Inject this provider to use legend feature.
TreeMapTooltip - Inject this provider to use tooltip series.

In current application, the above basic tree map is modified to visualize international airport counts in South America.

In this demo, the tree map is rendered with labels only. So, you need not to import any modules.

Render tree map

This section explains how to render the tree map control with data source.

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeMap } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treemap';
let treemap: TreeMap = new TreeMap({
    height: '350px',
    dataSource: [
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Brazil", Count: 25 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Colombia", Count: 12 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Argentina", Count: 9 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Ecuador", Count: 7 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Chile", Count: 6 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Peru", Count: 3 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Venezuela", Count: 3 },

        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "French Guiana", Count:1 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Guyana", Count: 1 },
        { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Suriname", Count: 1 },
    ],
    weightValuePath: 'Count',
    leafItemSettings: {
        labelPath: 'State',
    }

Here, the tree map control is created with data source and set with the weightValuePath as count. You can customize the leaf level tree map items using the leafItemSettings. The properties such as fill, border, and labelPosition can be changed using the leafItemSettings.

Apply color mapping

The color mapping feature supports customization of item colors based on the underlying value of item received from bound data source. Specify the field name from values that have to be compared for the item in the equalColorValuePath or rangeColorValuePath property.

Enable legend

Legend is enabled for the tree map control by setting the visible property to true in legendSettings object and injecting the TreeMapLegend module using the TreeMap.Inject(TreeMapLegend).

index.ts
index.html
import { TreeMap } from '@syncfusion/ej2-treemap';
let treemap: TreeMap = new TreeMap({
   dataSource: [
            { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Brazil", Count: 25 },
            { Title: 'State wise International Airport count in South America', State: "Colombia", Count: 12 },
