How to validate node text on rename in React
4 Sep 202624 minutes to read
You can validate the tree node text while editing using the nodeEditing event of the React Tree View (cancel the edit by setting args.cancel = true inside the event). The nodeEdited event fires after a successful rename and can also be used to react to the new value. Following is an example that shows how to validate and prevent empty values in tree node.
