Tree

[component-header:sl-tree]

Trees allow you to display a hierarchical list of selectable tree items. Items with children can be expanded and collapsed as desired by the user.

<sl-tree>
  <sl-tree-item>
    Deciduous
    <sl-tree-item>Birch</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>
      Maple
      <sl-tree-item>Field maple</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Red maple</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Sugar maple</sl-tree-item>
    </sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Oak</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>

  <sl-tree-item>
    Coniferous
    <sl-tree-item>Cedar</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Pine</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Spruce</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>

  <sl-tree-item>
    Non-trees
    <sl-tree-item>Bamboo</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Cactus</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Fern</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>
</sl-tree>

import { SlTree, SlTreeItem } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => (
  <SlTree>
    <SlTreeItem>
      Deciduous
      <SlTreeItem>Birch</SlTreeItem>

    </SlTreeItem>

    <SlTreeItem>

      <SlTreeItem>Cedar</SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem>Pine</SlTreeItem>

Examples

Selection Modes

The selection attribute lets you change the selection behavior of the tree.

Use single to allow the selection of a single item (default).
Use multiple to allow the selection of multiple items.
Use leaf to only allow leaf nodes to be selected.

<sl-select id="selection-mode" value="single" label="Selection">
  <sl-menu-item value="single">Single</sl-menu-item>
  <sl-menu-item value="multiple">Multiple</sl-menu-item>
  <sl-menu-item value="leaf">Leaf</sl-menu-item>
</sl-select>

<br />

<sl-tree class="tree-selectable">
  <sl-tree-item>
    Item 1
    <sl-tree-item>
      Item A
      <sl-tree-item>Item Z</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Item Y</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Item X</sl-tree-item>
    </sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Item B</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Item C</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>
  <sl-tree-item>Item 2</sl-tree-item>
  <sl-tree-item>Item 3</sl-tree-item>
</sl-tree>

<script>
  const selectionMode = document.querySelector('#selection-mode');
  const tree = document.querySelector('.tree-selectable');

  selectionMode.addEventListener('sl-change', () => {
    tree.querySelectorAll('sl-tree-item').forEach(item => (item.selected = false));
    tree.selection = selectionMode.value;
  });
</script>

import { SlTree, SlTreeItem } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => {
  const [selection, setSelection] = useState('single');

  return (
    <>
      <SlSelect label="Selection" value={selection} onSlChange={event => setSelection(event.target.value)}>
        <SlMenuItem value="single">single</SlMenuItem>
        <SlMenuItem value="multiple">multiple</SlMenuItem>
        <SlMenuItem value="leaf">leaf</SlMenuItem>
      </SlSelect>

      <br />

      <SlTree selection={selection}>
        <SlTreeItem>
          Item 1
          <SlTreeItem>
            Item A
            <SlTreeItem>Item Z</SlTreeItem>
            <SlTreeItem>Item Y</SlTreeItem>
            <SlTreeItem>Item X</SlTreeItem>
          </SlTreeItem>
          <SlTreeItem>Item B</SlTreeItem>
          <SlTreeItem>Item C</SlTreeItem>
        </SlTreeItem>
        <SlTreeItem>Item 2</SlTreeItem>
        <SlTreeItem>Item 3</SlTreeItem>
      </SlTree>
    </>
  );
};

Showing Indent Guides

Indent guides can be drawn by setting --indent-guide-width. You can also change the color, offset, and style, using --indent-guide-color, --indent-guide-style, and --indent-guide-offset, respectively.

<sl-tree class="tree-with-lines">
  <sl-tree-item expanded>
    Deciduous
    <sl-tree-item>Birch</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item expanded>
      Maple
      <sl-tree-item>Field maple</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Red maple</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Sugar maple</sl-tree-item>
    </sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Oak</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>

  <sl-tree-item>
    Coniferous
    <sl-tree-item>Cedar</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Pine</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Spruce</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>

  <sl-tree-item>
    Non-trees
    <sl-tree-item>Bamboo</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Cactus</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Fern</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>
</sl-tree>

<style>
  .tree-with-lines {
    --indent-guide-width: 1px;
  }
</style>

import { SlTree, SlTreeItem } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => (
  <SlTree class="tree-with-lines" style={{ '--indent-guide-width': '1px' }}>
    <SlTreeItem expanded>
      Deciduous
      <SlTreeItem>Birch</SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem expanded>
        Maple
        <SlTreeItem>Field maple</SlTreeItem>
        <SlTreeItem>Red maple</SlTreeItem>
        <SlTreeItem>Sugar maple</SlTreeItem>
      </SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem>Oak</SlTreeItem>
    </SlTreeItem>

    <SlTreeItem>
      Coniferous
      <SlTreeItem>Cedar</SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem>Pine</SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem>Spruce</SlTreeItem>
    </SlTreeItem>

    <SlTreeItem>
      Non-trees
      <SlTreeItem>Bamboo</SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem>Cactus</SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem>Fern</SlTreeItem>
    </SlTreeItem>
  </SlTree>
);

Lazy Loading

Use the lazy attribute on a tree item to indicate that the content is not yet present and will be loaded later. When the user tries to expand the node, the loading state is set to true and the sl-lazy-load event will be emitted to allow you to load data asynchronously. The item will remain in a loading state until its content is changed.

If you want to disable this behavior after the first load, simply remove the lazy attribute and, on the next expand, the existing content will be shown instead.

<sl-tree>
  <sl-tree-item lazy>Available Trees</sl-tree-item>
</sl-tree>

<script type="module">
  const lazyItem = document.querySelector('sl-tree-item[lazy]');

  lazyItem.addEventListener('sl-lazy-load', () => {
    // Simulate asynchronous loading
    setTimeout(() => {
      const subItems = ['Birch', 'Cedar', 'Maple', 'Pine'];

      for (const item of subItems) {
        const treeItem = document.createElement('sl-tree-item');
        treeItem.innerText = item;
        lazyItem.append(treeItem);
      }

      // Disable lazy mode once the content has been loaded
      lazyItem.lazy = false;
    }, 1000);
  });
</script>

import { SlTree, SlTreeItem } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => {
  const [childItems, setChildItems] = useState([]);
  const [lazy, setLazy] = useState(true);

  const handleLazyLoad = () => {
    // Simulate asynchronous loading
    setTimeout(() => {
      setChildItems(['Birch', 'Cedar', 'Maple', 'Pine']);

      // Disable lazy mode once the content has been loaded
      setLazy(false);
    }, 1000);
  };

  return (
    <SlTree>
      <SlTreeItem lazy={lazy} onSlLazyLoad={handleLazyLoad}>
        Available Trees
        {childItems.map(item => (
          <SlTreeItem>{item}</SlTreeItem>
        ))}
      </SlTreeItem>
    </SlTree>
  );
};

Custom expanded/collapsed icons

Use the expand-icon and collapse-icon slots to change the expand and collapse icons, respectively.

<sl-tree>
  <sl-icon name="plus-square" slot="collapse-icon"></sl-icon>
  <sl-icon name="dash-square" slot="expand-icon"></sl-icon>

  <sl-tree-item>
    Deciduous
    <sl-tree-item>Birch</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>
      Maple
      <sl-tree-item>Field maple</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Red maple</sl-tree-item>
      <sl-tree-item>Sugar maple</sl-tree-item>
    </sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Oak</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>

  <sl-tree-item>
    Coniferous
    <sl-tree-item>Cedar</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Pine</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Spruce</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>

  <sl-tree-item>
    Non-trees
    <sl-tree-item>Bamboo</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Cactus</sl-tree-item>
    <sl-tree-item>Fern</sl-tree-item>
  </sl-tree-item>
</sl-tree>

import { SlTree, SlTreeItem } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => (
  <SlTree>
    <SlIcon name="plus-square" slot="collapse-icon"></SlIcon>

        <SlTreeItem>Sugar maple</SlTreeItem>
      </SlTreeItem>
      <SlTreeItem>Oak</SlTreeItem>
    </SlTreeItem>

    <SlTreeItem>
      Coniferous
      <SlTreeItem>Cedar</SlTreeItem>

    </SlTreeItem>
  </SlTree>
);

With Icons

Decorative icons can be used before labels to provide hints for each node.

<sl-tree class="tree-with-icons">
  <sl-tree-item expanded>
    <sl-icon name="folder"></sl-icon>
    Root

    <sl-tree-item>
      <sl-icon name="folder"> </sl-icon>
