Data binding in Vue Treegrid component
16 Mar 202312 minutes to read
The TreeGrid uses DataManager, which supports both RESTful JSON data services binding and local JavaScript object array binding. The dataSource property can be assigned either with the instance of DataManager or JavaScript object array collection.
It supports two kinds of data binding method:
- Local data
- Remote data
To learn about tree grid data binding quickly, you can check on this video:
Binding with ajax
You can use TreeGrid dataSource property to bind the data source to TreeGrid from external Ajax request. In the below code we have fetched the data source from the server with the help of Ajax request and provided that to dataSource property by using onSuccess event of the Ajax.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-button v-on:click.native="btnClick">Bind Data</ejs-button>
<ejs-treegrid ref=treegrid :dataSource="data" idMapping='TaskID' parentIdMapping='ParentItem' :treeColumnIndex='1' :allowPaging='true' :pageSettings='pageSettings'>
<e-columns>
<e-column field='TaskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
<e-column field='TaskName' headerText='Task Name' width='100'></e-column>
<e-column field='Duration' headerText='Duration' width='80' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
</e-columns>
<e-column field='Progress' headerText='Progress' width='80' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
</e-columns>
</ejs-treegrid>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { TreeGridPlugin, Page } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-treegrid";
import { ButtonPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons";
import { Ajax } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
Vue.use(TreeGridPlugin);
Vue.use(ButtonPlugin);
export default {
data () {
return {
data: {},
pageSettings: { pageCount: 4 }
};
},
provide: {
treegrid: [ Page ]
},
methods:{
btnClick: function (args){
let treegrid = document.getElementsByClassName("e-treegrid")[0].ej2_instances[0]; // TreeGrid instance
let ajax = new Ajax ("https://ej2services.syncfusion.com/production/web-services/api/SelfReferenceData", "GET");treegrid.showSpinner();
ajax.send();
ajax.onSuccess = function (result) {
treegrid.hideSpinner();
treegrid.dataSource = JSON.parse(result);
};
}
}
}
</script>
- If you bind the dataSource from this way, then it acts like a local dataSource. So you cannot perform any server side crud actions.
Handling expandStateMapping
To denotes the expand status of parent row, define the expandStateMapping property of tree grid. The expandStateMapping property maps the field name in data source, that denotes whether parent record is in expanded or collapsed state and this is useful to renders parent row in expanded or collapsed state based on this mapping property value in data source.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-treegrid :dataSource='data' idMapping='TaskID' parentIdMapping='ParentValue' hasChildMapping='isParent' :treeColumnIndex='1' expandStateMapping='IsExpanded' height='400px'>
<e-columns>
<e-column field='TaskID' headerText='Task ID' width=90 textAlign='Right'></e-column>
<e-column field='TaskName' headerText='Task Name' width=180></e-column>
<e-column field='Duration' headerText='Duration' width=80></e-column>
</e-columns>
</ejs-treegrid>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { TreeGridPlugin, Page } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-treegrid";
import { DataManager, UrlAdaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
Vue.use(TreeGridPlugin);
export default {
data() {
return {
data: new DataManager({
url: "Home/DataSource",
adaptor: new UrlAdaptor
})
};
},
}
</script>
The following code example defines expandStateMapping property at server end.
public ActionResult ExpandStateMapping()
{
return View();
}
public class TreeData
{
public static List<TreeData> tree = new List<TreeData>();
[System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Key]
public int TaskID { get; set; }
public string TaskName { get; set; }
public int Duration { get; set; }
public int? ParentValue { get; set; }
public bool? isParent { get; set; }
public bool IsExpanded { get; set; }
public TreeData() { }
public static List<TreeData> GetTree()
{
if (tree.Count == 0)
{
int root = 0;
for (var t = 1; t <= 500; t++)
{
Random ran = new Random();
string math = (ran.Next() % 3) == 0 ? "High" : (ran.Next() % 2) == 0 ? "Release Breaker" : "Critical";
string progr = (ran.Next() % 3) == 0 ? "Started" : (ran.Next() % 2) == 0 ? "Open" : "In Progress";
root++;
int rootItem = root;
tree.Add(new TreeData() { TaskID = rootItem, TaskName = "Parent task " + rootItem.ToString(), isParent = true, IsExpanded = false, ParentValue = null, Duration = ran.Next(1, 50) });
int parent = root;
for (var d = 0; d < 1; d++)
{
root++;
string value = ((parent + 1) % 3 == 0) ? "Low" : "Critical";
int par = parent + 1;
progr = (ran.Next() % 3) == 0 ? "In Progress" : (ran.Next() % 2) == 0 ? "Open" : "Validated";
int iD = root;
tree.Add(new TreeData() { TaskID = iD, TaskName = "Child task " + iD.ToString(), isParent = true, IsExpanded = false, ParentValue = rootItem, Duration = ran.Next(1, 50) });
int subparent = root;
for (var c = 0; c < 500; c++)
{
root++;
string val = ((subparent + c + 1) % 3 == 0) ? "Low" : "Critical";
int subchild = subparent + c + 1;
string progress = (ran.Next() % 3) == 0 ? "In Progress" : (ran.Next() % 2) == 0 ? "Open" : "Validated";
int childID = root ;
tree.Add(new TreeData() { TaskID = childID, TaskName = "sub Child task " + childID.ToString(), isParent = false, IsExpanded = false, ParentValue = subparent, Duration = ran.Next(1, 50) });
}
}
}
}
return tree;
}
}
