Or you can also use render function as children

Copy
<TreeList>
    {
        ({
            data,
            rawData,
            error,
            handleClick,
            value,
            loading
        }) => (
            // return UI to be rendered
        )
    }
</TreeList>

renderError

Type Optional
String or JSX or Function Yes

can be used to render an error message in case of any error.

Copy
renderError={(error) => (
        <div>
            Something went wrong!<br/>Error details<br/>{error}
        </div>
    )
}

renderNoResults

Type Optional
Function Yes

can be used to render a message in case of no list items.

Copy
renderNoResults={() => <p>No Results Found!</p>}

onChange

Type Optional
function Yes

is a callback function which accepts component's current value as a parameter. It is called when you are using the value props and the component's value changes. This prop is used to implement the controlled component behavior.

onError

Type Optional
Function Yes

gets triggered in case of an error and provides the error object, which can be used for debugging or giving feedback to the user if needed.

index

Type Optional
String Yes

The index prop can be used to explicitly specify an index to query against for this component. It is suitable for use-cases where you want to fetch results from more than one index in a single ReactiveSearch API request. The default value for the index is set to the app prop defined in the ReactiveBase component.

Note: This only works when enableAppbase prop is set to true in ReactiveBase.

Demo

Basic



With

custom SelectedFilters



Styles

TreeList component supports innerClass prop with the following keys:

  • title
  • input
  • checkbox
  • radio
  • label
  • count

Read more about it here.

Extending

TreeList component can be extended to

  1. customize the look and feel with className, style,
  2. update the underlying DB query with customQuery, defaultQuery,
  3. connect with external interfaces using beforeValueChange, onValueChange and onQueryChange,
  4. specify how options should be filtered or updated using react prop.
Copy
<TreeList
  // ...
  className="custom-class"
  style={{"paddingBottom": "10px"}}
  customQuery={
    function(value, props) {
      return {
        query: {
            match: {
                data_field: ["this is a test"]
            }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  defaultQuery={
    function(value, props) {
      return {
          timeout: "1s"
      }
    }
  }
  beforeValueChange={
    function(value) {
      // called before the value is set
      // returns a promise
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        // update state or component props
        resolve()
        // or reject()
      })
    }
  }
  onValueChange={
    function(value) {
      console.log("current value: ", value)
      // set the state
      // use the value with other js code
    }
  }
  onQueryChange={
    function(prevQuery, nextQuery) {
      // use the query with other js code
      console.log('prevQuery', prevQuery);
      console.log('nextQuery', nextQuery);
    }
  }
  // specify how and which options are filtered using `react` prop.
  react={
    "and": ["pricingFilter", "dateFilter"],
    "or": ["searchFilter"]
  }
/>

className

Type Optional
String Yes

CSS class to be injected on the component container.

style

Type Optional
Object Yes

CSS styles to be applied to the TreeList component.

customQuery

Type Optional
Function Yes

takes value and props as parameters and returns the data query to be applied to the component, as defined in Elasticsearch Query DSL. Note: customQuery is called on value changes in the TreeList component as long as the component is a part of react dependency of at least one other component. Note: When extending with customQuery, the queryFormat prop has no affect.

defaultQuery

Type Optional
Function Yes

takes value and props as parameters and returns the data query to be applied to the source component, as defined in Elasticsearch Query DSL, which doesn't get leaked to other components. Read more about it here.

beforeValueChange

Type Optional
Function Yes

is a callback function which accepts component's future value as a parameter and returns a promise. It is called every time before a component's value changes. The promise, if and when resolved, triggers the execution of the component's query and if rejected, kills the query execution. This method can act as a gatekeeper for query execution, since it only executes the query after the provided promise has been resolved.

Note:

If you're using Reactivesearch version >= 3.3.7, beforeValueChange can also be defined as a synchronous function. value is updated by default, unless you throw an Error to reject the update. For example:

Copy
beforeValueChange = values => {
   // The update is accepted by default
   if (values.includes('Dirk Pitt')) {
   	// To reject the update, throw an error
   	throw Error('Selected values should not include Dirk Pitt.');
   }
};

onValueChange

Type Optional
Function Yes

is a callback function which accepts component's current value as a parameter. It is called everytime the component's value changes. This prop is handy in cases where you want to generate a side-effect on value selection. For example: You want to show a pop-up modal with an applicable discount coupon code when list item(s) is/are selected in a "E-commerce Product" TreeList.

onQueryChange

Type Optional
Function Yes

is a callback function which accepts component's prevQuery and nextQuery as parameters. It is called everytime the component's query changes. This prop is handy in cases where you want to generate a side-effect whenever the component's query would change.

react

Type Optional
Object Yes

specify dependent components to reactively update TreeList's options.

  • key String one of and, or, not defines the combining clause.
    • and clause implies that the results will be filtered by matches from all of the associated component states.
    • or clause implies that the results will be filtered by matches from at least one of the associated component states.
    • not clause implies that the results will be filtered by an inverse match of the associated component states.
  • value String or Array or Object
    • String is used for specifying a single component by its componentId.
    • Array is used for specifying multiple components by their componentId.
    • Object is used for nesting other key clauses.
