Indent in EJ2 JavaScript Treegrid control
27 Apr 20237 minutes to read
The Indent and Outdent feature will help to change the hierarchy level of rows in tree grid. The indent action moves the selected row as the last child of its previous row, whereas the outdent action moves the selected row as a sibling to its parent row.
To use the indent and outdent feature, inject the RowDD module in the Tree Grid. The tree grid toolbar has the built-in items to execute indent and outdent actions. Define this by using the toolbar property.
ej.treegrid.TreeGrid.Inject(ej.treegrid.Toolbar, ej.treegrid.RowDD);
var treegrid = new ej.treegrid.TreeGrid({
dataSource: sampleData,
childMapping: 'subtasks',
toolbar: ['Indent', 'Outdent'],
selectedRowIndex: 2,
treeColumnIndex: 1,
columns: [
{ field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', isPrimaryKey: true, width: 90, textAlign: 'Right'},
{ field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 180 },
{ field: 'priority', headerText: 'Priority', width: 90 },
{ field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
],
height: 270
});
treegrid.appendTo('#TreeGrid');<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>

You can change the hierarchy level of record programmatically using indent and outdent methods.
