Process the tree node operations using context menu in EJ2 TypeScript Treeview control
2 May 202311 minutes to read
You can intergrade the context menu with ‘TreeView’ component in order to perform the tree view related operations like add, remove and renaming node.
Following is an example which demonstrates the above cases which are used to manipulate tree view operations in the ‘select ‘ event of context menu.
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ContextMenu, MenuEventArgs, MenuItemModel, ContextMenuModel, TreeView, BeforeOpenCloseMenuEventArgs, NodeClickEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
enableRipple(true);
/**
* The node operation in tree view using context menu
*/
//define the data source for TreeView
let data: { [key: string]: Object } [] = [
{ id: '1', name: 'Local Disk (C:)', hasAttribute: { class:'remove rename'}, hasChild: true, expanded: true, },
{ id: '2', name: 'Program Files', pid: '1', hasChild: true },
{ id: '3', name: 'Windows NT', pid: '2' },
