## Getting started

Install `react-sortable-tree` using npm.

```sh
# NPM
npm install @peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree --save

# YARN
yarn add @peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree
```

ES6 and CommonJS builds are available with each distribution.
For example:

```js
// This only needs to be done once; probably during your application's bootstrapping process.
import '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree/style.css'

// You can import the default tree with dnd context
import SortableTree from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree'

// Or you can import the tree without the dnd context as a named export. eg
import { SortableTreeWithoutDndContext as SortableTree } from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree'

// Importing from cjs (default)
import SortableTree from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree/dist/index.cjs.js'
import SortableTree from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree'

// Importing from esm
import SortableTree from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree/dist/index.esm.js'
```

## Usage

```jsx
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import SortableTree from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree'
import '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree/style.css' // This only needs to be imported once in your app

export default class Tree extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)

    this.state = {
      treeData: [
        { title: 'Chicken', children: [{ title: 'Egg' }] },
        { title: 'Fish', children: [{ title: 'fingerline' }] },
      ],
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div style={{ height: 400 }}>
        <SortableTree
          treeData={this.state.treeData}
          onChange={(treeData) => this.setState({ treeData })}
        />
      </div>
    )
  }
}
```

| :----------------------------- | :-----------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| treeData<br/>_(required)_      |   object[]    | Tree data with the following keys: <div>`title` is the primary label for the node.</div><div>`subtitle` is a secondary label for the node.</div><div>`expanded` shows children of the node if true, or hides them if false. Defaults to false.</div><div>`children` is an array of child nodes belonging to the node.</div><div>**Example**: `[{title: 'main', subtitle: 'sub'}, { title: 'value2', expanded: true, children: [{ title: 'value3') }] }]`                                                                                                                      |
| onChange<br/>_(required)_      |     func      | Called whenever tree data changed. Just like with React input elements, you have to update your own component's data to see the changes reflected.<div>`( treeData: object[] ): void`</div>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| getNodeKey<br/>_(recommended)_ |     func      | Specify the unique key used to identify each node and generate the `path` array passed in callbacks. With a setting of `getNodeKey={({ node }) => node.id}`, for example, in callbacks this will let you easily determine that the node with an `id` of `35` is (or has just become) a child of the node with an `id` of `12`, which is a child of ... and so on. It uses [`defaultGetNodeKey`](./src/utils/default-handlers.ts) by default, which returns the index in the tree (omitting hidden nodes).<div>`({ node: object, treeIndex: number }): string or number`</div> |
| generateNodeProps              |     func      | Generate an object with additional props to be passed to the node renderer. Use this for adding buttons via the `buttons` key, or additional `style` / `className` settings.<div>`({ node: object, path: number[] or string[], treeIndex: number, lowerSiblingCounts: number[], isSearchMatch: bool, isSearchFocus: bool }): object`</div>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| onMoveNode                     |     func      | Called after node move operation. <div>`({ treeData: object[], node: object, nextParentNode: object, prevPath: number[] or string[], prevTreeIndex: number, nextPath: number[] or string[], nextTreeIndex: number }): void`</div>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| onVisibilityToggle             |     func      | Called after children nodes collapsed or expanded. <div>`({ treeData: object[], node: object, expanded: bool, path: number[] or string[] }): void`</div>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| onDragStateChanged             |     func      | Called when a drag is initiated or ended. <div>`({ isDragging: bool, draggedNode: object }): void`</div>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| nodeContentRenderer            |      any      | Override the default component ([`NodeRendererDefault`](./src/node-renderer-default.tsx)) for rendering nodes (but keep the scaffolding generator). This is a last resort for customization - most custom styling should be able to be solved with `generateNodeProps`, a `theme` or CSS rules. If you must use it, is best to copy the component in `node-renderer-default.tsx` to use as a base, and customize as needed.                                                                                                                                                   |
| placeholderRenderer            |      any      | Override the default placeholder component ([`PlaceholderRendererDefault`](./src/placeholder-renderer-default.tsx)) which is displayed when the tree is empty.

## Data Helper Functions

Need a hand turning your flat data into nested tree data?
Want to perform add/remove operations on the tree data without creating your own recursive function?
Check out the helper functions exported from [`tree-data-utils.ts`](./src/utils/tree-data-utils.ts).

- **`getTreeFromFlatData`**: Convert flat data (like that from a database) into nested tree data.
- **`getFlatDataFromTree`**: Convert tree data back to flat data.
- **`addNodeUnderParent`**: Add a node under the parent node at the given path.
- **`removeNode`**: For a given path, get the node at that path, treeIndex, and the treeData with that node removed.
- **`removeNodeAtPath`**: For a given path, remove the node and return the treeData.
- **`changeNodeAtPath`**: Modify the node object at the given path.
- **`map`**: Perform a change on every node in the tree.
- **`walk`**: Visit every node in the tree in order.
- **`getDescendantCount`**: Count how many descendants this node has.
- **`getVisibleNodeCount`**: Count how many visible descendants this node has.
- **`getVisibleNodeInfoAtIndex`**: Get the <targetIndex>th visible node in the tree data.
- **`toggleExpandedForAll`**: Expand or close every node in the tree.
- **`getNodeAtPath`**: Get the node at the input path.
- **`insertNode`**: Insert the input node at the specified depth and minimumTreeIndex.
- **`find`**: Find nodes matching a search query in the tree.
- **`isDescendant`**: Check if a node is a descendant of another node.
- **`getDepth`**: Get the longest path in the tree.

## Themes

Using the `theme` prop along with an imported theme module, you can easily override the default appearance with another standard one.

**Help Wanted** - As the themes feature has just been enabled, there are very few (only _two_ at the time of this writing) theme modules available. If you've customized the appearance of your tree to be especially cool or easy to use, I would be happy to feature it in this readme with a link to the Github repo and NPM page if you convert it to a theme. You can use my [file explorer theme repo](https://github.com/peteranderss0n/theme-file-explorer) as a template to plug in your own stuff.

## Browser Compatibility

| Browser | Works? |
| :------ | :----- |
| Chrome  | Yes    |
| Firefox | Yes    |
| Safari  | Yes    |
| IE 11   | Yes    |

## Troubleshooting

### If it throws "TypeError: fn is not a function" errors in production

This issue may be related to an ongoing incompatibility between UglifyJS and Webpack's behavior. See an explanation at [create-react-app#2376](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/2376).

The simplest way to mitigate this issue is by adding `comparisons: false` to your Uglify config as seen here: https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/pull/2379/files

### If it doesn't work with other components that use react-dnd

react-dnd only allows for one DragDropContext at a time (see: https://github.com/gaearon/react-dnd/issues/186). To get around this, you can import the context-less tree component via `SortableTreeWithoutDndContext`.

```js
// before
import SortableTree from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree'

// after
import { SortableTreeWithoutDndContext as SortableTree } from '@peteranderss0n/react-sortable-tree'
```
