I have a question about TreeList wrapper component. I need exactly this component.

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/wrappers/treelist/editing/ 

But is it possible to do drag&drop there? I need to move objects only in their own array, I dont need them to move to their parent / child.

Another thing is that I want to active inline edit just by click on some cell, as you can see here: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/editing/editing-in-cell/.

 

If those two requests arent possible in this TreeList component, is it somehow possible to manage that via react grid component since it supports inline edit and drag&drop, but problem for me is, that each detail grid creates his own table which I dont need.

Hello, Martin,

Regarding the requirements:

1) The TreeList currently only supports drag and drop between parents/child rows as the main point for the drag and drop feature is to re-arrange hierarchical elements. In the Grid, this is achieved using the Sortable widget, but unfortunately, this widget is currently not available for the React suite.

I can suggest commenting and voting for a similar feature request as this will increase its chances to be implemented sooner:

http://kendoui-feedback.telerik.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/9269412-make-drag-drop-behaviour-on-treelist-same-as-on-tr

2) The incell editing is planned for the next official release(expected around September).

Let me know if you need additional details on this matter.

Regards,
Stefan

Thanks for this information, 

anyway I have one more question. Is it possible to send my custom DOM into column ( in this case, its named field ). Is it possible to call "test" function, which returns JSX.Element, which has to be render in specific column? I know that function is being called, but the function result never appears in column. Here is my code below

export default class TreeListContainer extends React.Component {
    dataSource: kendo.data.TreeListDataSource;
    columns: {
        field?: string;
        title?: string;
        command?: Array<any>;
    }[];
    data: Array<IDummyData>;
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.columns = [
            { field: "id" },
            { field: "name" },
            { field: "description" },
            { title: "isDefault" },
            { title: "Edits", command: ["edit"] }
        ]
        this.dataSource = new kendo.data.TreeListDataSource({
            change: this.onChange,
            data: dataTree,
            schema: {
                model: {
                    id: "id",
                    expanded: true,
                    fields: {
                        id: { type: "string", editable: false, nullable: false },
                        name: { type: "string", editable: true, nullable: false },
                        description: { type: "string", editable: true, nullable: false },
                        isVisible: { type: "boolean", editable: true, nullable: false },
                        isDefault: this.test(),
                    },
                }
            }
        });
    }
 
    private test = () => {
        console.log("test render");
        return <div>custom dom contains radio / checkbox</div>
    }
 
    private editCell = (event) => {
        console.log("editcell", event);
    }
 
    private onChange = (event) => {
        console.log("onChange",  event)
    }
 
    private drag = (event) => {
        console.log("drag",  event)
    }
 
    private dragStart = (event) => {
        console.log("drag",  event)
    }
 
    private dragEnd = (event) => {
        console.log("drag",  event)
    }
 
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <TreeList height={600}
                    edit={this.editCell}
                    dragstart={this.dragStart}
                    dragend={this.dragEnd}
                    drag={this.drag}
                    editable={true}
                    columns={this.columns}
                    dataSource={this.dataSource}
                />
            </div>
        );
    }
}

So I found I can show checkbox in column like this. How I can bind this to react function then? 
{ title: "isDefault", template: "<input type='checkbox' onChange={this.test} data-bind='checked: checked' />"},

Hello, Martin,

Binding to React functions will require using jQuery as well. The main reason is that the wrapper is based on jQuery and the templates are not aware of React specific syntax as onChange, className etc.

I can suggest attaching event listeners to the checkbox on the TreeList dataBound event:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/treelist/events/databound

I made an example demonstrating this:

I managed to do that with different way, but it has serious performance issue, in my case i bind action events like below in my code. I tested it also with what you send in your previous post, but it was identical result. I have around 200 rows in tree list, every time I click on checkbox or radio, doesnt matter, it has like 0.3s delay because of event handlers binding. I had to put TreeListDataSource into render method, because when I load data from my api, when I had it in constructor, treelist component never showed any of them, it just message me there is nothing to display.

But here is the issue, whenever my state is updated (click on checkbox etc..) it fires render method which creates new TreeListDataSource  object and all bindings has to be done again to my controls and this cause serious performance issue. Is there something I can do to avoid it?

Hello, Martin,

Thank you for the provided details and code.

I modified the previous example and added 1000 rows, but the clicking of the checkbox is instant as expected:

https://next.plnkr.co/edit/iP78i7PL4WyPWpcR

If possible, please provide us an example reproducing the issue and we will be happy investigate it locally the make suggestion on how it can be optimized.

Hi,

I checked your sample, there is one big difference, in your sample, checkbox does not affect state of component, but in my sample, it affects, so whenever I click on checkbox, my state is updated and it force component to re-render and this is why it slows so much, so re-render is big issue and cost a lot of time. 

Best regards.

Martin.

Hello, Martin,

Thank you for the advice.

I added the logic to change the state on the change events as well, and the performance was not changed noticeably:

https://next.plnkr.co/edit/XDSxMmp6q1amEmyD

As the issue could be caused by an unnoticed part of the code, if an example is provided we will be able to test different parts of the code and locate it.

Stefan

I found an issue in my case, there was a problem that in my render function of class I all the time initialized dataSource object which is required for treelist component, because when I initialized it in constructor, it never had data, which come from api as asynchronous request. I solved it with initializing dataSource object in class constructor and passing data to it via data() function in render method.

So something like this

this.state.dataSource.data(this.state.data);

 

After I solved this, I found one thing, which currently is problem for us. Whenever I click on some checkbox etc, it changes state and it force component to re-render and there is problem with expanded option property, lets say, I go deeper in tree, then I click on some checkbox and it force render function and whole tree is collapsed again and vice versa. Can I somehow specify, what should collapse and what not?

Best regards.

Martin

Hello, Martin,

I'm happy to hear that the initial issue when updating is resolved.

As for the collapsed state. In general, setting the state should not change the collapsed and expanded state. I made a video demonstrating this:

https://www.screencast.com/t/u90SMoQC60g6

Still, if due to another action in the application the expanded collapsed state is lost a custom logic can be used to store the state in a variable or local storage.

More details can be found in the following forum. The post is for the jQuery widgets, but the wrapper is based on the jQuery widget and the implementation is the same for the React wrapper:

Hi,

sorry for late respond, I havent been here for a while. We have implemented our custom logic for it, since our component has complex logic

It is good to hear that the custom implementation is successfully able to achieve the desired result.
