IMPORTANT: The [classname]#Tree# component is currently being developed and only available in the Framework 8.1 prerelease versions, starting from 8.1.0.beta1.

[[components.tree.overview]]
== Overview

The [classname]#Tree# component allows a natural way to represent data that has hierarchical relationships.
The user can drill down in the hierarchy by expanding items by clicking on the expand arrow, and likewise collapse items.
[classname]#Tree# is a selection component that allows selecting items.
It also supports drag and drop, so you can drag items to and from a tree, and drop them in the hierarchy.

A typical use of the [classname]#Tree# component is for displaying a hierarchical menu, as illustrated in <<figure.components.tree>>, or for displaying file systems or hierarchical datasets.

[[components.tree.data]]
== Binding to Data

[classname]#Tree# is used by binding it to a hierarchical data provider. The data provider can be based on in-memory or back end data. For in-memory data, the [classname]#InMemoryHierarchicalDataProvider# can be used, and for loading data from a back end, you need to implement three methods from the [interfacename]#HierarchicalDataProvider# interface. Usage of both data providers is described in
<<dummy/../../../framework/datamodel/datamodel-hierarchical.asciidoc#datamodel.hierarchical,"Hierarchical Data">>.


The [classname]#HierarchyData# class can be used to build the hierarchical data structure,
and it can then be passed on to [classname]#InMemoryHierarchicalDataProvider#. It is simply a hierarchical
collection, that the data provider uses to populate the [classname]#Tree#.

The [methodname]#setItems# method in [classname]#Tree# can be used to set the root level items. Internally
an [classname]#InMemoryHierarchicalDataProvider# with [classname]#HierarchyData# is used.

[source, java]
----
// An initial planet tree
Tree<String> tree = new Tree<>();
HierarchyData<String> hierarchyData = new HierarchyData<>();

// Couple of childless root items
hierarchyData.addItem(null,"Mercury");
hierarchyData.addItem(null,"Venus");

// Items with hierarchy
hierarchyData.addItem(null,"Earth");
hierarchyData.addItem("Earth","The Moon");

inMemoryDataProvider = new InMemoryHierarchicalDataProvider<>(hierarchyData);
tree.setDataProvider(inMemoryDataProvider);
tree.expand("Earth"); // Expand programmatically
----

If at any time you want to modify
the in-memory data in the tree, you may do it as follows:

[source, java]
----
// Add Mars with satellites
hierarchyData.addItem(null, "Mars");
hierarchyData.addItem("Mars", "Phobos");
hierarchyData.addItem("Mars", "Deimos");
inMemoryDataProvider.refreshAll();

----


The result was shown in <<figure.components.tree>>.

The caption and the icon of tree items is generated by the [classname]#ItemCaptionGenerator# and the
[classname]#IconGenerator#, set with [methodname]#setItemCaptionGenerator()# and [methodname]#setItemIconGenerator()# respectively.

[[components.tree.selection]]
== Handling Selection and Clicks

[classname]#Tree# supports single selection mode, you can use [methodname]#asSingleSelect()# to access the selection
object, which supports selection listeners and data binding. For more details, see link:<<dummy/../../../framework/datamodel/datamodel-selection.asciidoc#datamodel.selection,"Selecting Items">>.
The [classname]#Tree# also supports the shortcut method [methodname]#addSelectionListener()#.

////
todo not implemented yet.
[classname]#Tree# also emits [classname]##ItemClickEvent##s when items are clicked.
This way you can handle item clicks also when selection is not enabled or you want special user interaction specifically on clicks.


[source, Java]
----
tree.addItemClickListener(
new ItemClickEvent.ItemClickListener() {
public void itemClick(ItemClickEvent event) {
// Pick only left mouse clicks
if (event.getButton() == ItemClickEvent.BUTTON_LEFT)
Notification.show("Left click",
Notification.Type.HUMANIZED_MESSAGE);
}
});
----
////

[[components.tree.expandcollapse]]
== Expanding and Collapsing Nodes

[classname]#Tree# nodes that have children can be expanded and collapsed by either user interaction or through the server-side API:

[source, java]
----
// Expands a child project. If the child project is not yet
// in the visible hierarchy, nothing will be shown.
tree.expand(childProject);
// Expands the root project. If child project now becomes
// visible it is also expanded into view.
tree.expand(rootProject);
// Collapses the child project.
tree.collapse(childProject);
----

To use the server-side API with a backend data provider the [methodname]#hashCode# and [methodname]#equals# methods for the node's type must be implemented so that when the desired node is retrieved from the backend it can be correctly matched with the object passed to either [methodname]#expand# or [methodname]#collapse#.

The [classname]#Tree# component supports listening to the expansion and collapsing of items in its hierarchy.
The expand and collapse listeners can be added as follows:

[source, java]
----
tree.addExpandListener(event -> log("Item expanded: " + event.getExpandedItem()));
tree.addCollapseListener(event -> log("Item collapsed: " + event.getCollapsedItem()));
----

The return types of the methods `getExpandedItem` and `getCollapsedItem` are the same as the type of the [classname]#Tree# the events originated from.
Note that collapse listeners will not be triggered for any expanded subtrees of the collapsed item.

todo not implemented yet
[[components.tree.node.collapsing]]
== Prevent Node Collapsing

[classname]#Tree# supports setting a callback method that can allow or prevent the user from collapsing an expanded node.
It can be set with [methodname]#setItemCollapseAllowedProvider# method, that takes a [interfacename]#SerializablePredicate#.
For nodes that cannot be collapsed, the [literal]#++collapse-disabled++# class name is applied to the expansion element

Avoid doing any heavy operations in the method, since it is called for each item when it is being sent to the client.

Example using a predefined set of persons that can not be collapsed:
[source, java]
----
Set<Person> alwaysExpanded;
personTree.setItemCollapseAllowedProvider(person ->
!alwaysExpanded.contains(person));
----
////

[[components.treegrid.keyboard]]
== Keyboard Navigation and Focus Handling in TreeGrid

The user can navigate through rows with kbd:[Up] and kbd:[Down], collapse rows with kbd:[Left],
and expand them with kbd:[Right].

[[components.tree.css]]
== CSS Style Rules

[source, css]
----
.v-tree {}
.v-tree-node {} /* A node (item) */
.v-tree-node-caption {} /* Caption of the node */
.v-tree-node-children {} /* Contains child nodes */
.v-tree-node-root {} /* If node is a root node */
.v-tree-node-leaf {} /* If node has no children */
----

[[components.tree.css.itemstyles]]
=== Generating Item Styles

You can style each tree item individually by generating a style name for them with a [interfacename]#Tree.ItemStyleGenerator#, which you assign to a tree with [methodname]#setItemStyleGenerator()#.
The generator should return a style name for each item or `null`.

[source, Java]
----
// Show all leaf nodes as disabled
tree.setItemStyleGenerator(new Tree.ItemStyleGenerator() {
@Override
public String getStyle(Tree source, Object itemId) {
if (! tree.hasChildren(itemId))
return "disabled";
return null;
}
});
----

The style names are prefixed with `v-tree-node-caption-`.
You could thereby define the item styling as follows:

[source, CSS]
----
.v-tree-node-caption-disabled {
color: graytext;
font-style: italic;
}

That data can be populated by on-demand from a back end by implementing the [interfacename]#HierarchicalDataProvider# interface. If you have the data available in-memory on the server,
