Treetable

TreeTable - Bootstrap 5 & Material Design plugin

The Treetable component can render your data with a simple HTML. You simply create a HTML markup for your table nested within a div tag with a "treetable" class - you can customize your table later by adding data-mdb-attributes to the wrapper.

Note: Read the API tab to find all available options and advanced customization

Basic example

Create default Treetable by appending a table element into a div with a .treetable class. Adding data-depth attribute to a row element indicates it is another nest. Each deeper nest's depth should be incremented by one.

TreeTable - API

Usage

Via data attributes

Use data-depth attribute to indicate the level of nesting. For example, if a row with an attribute of data-depth="2" is inserted after data-depth="1" row, it will be nested within the attribute with lower value.

Edit in sandbox 
<div class="treetable d-flex w-100">
  <table class="table">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th scope="col">Nest num</th>
        <th scope="col">Name</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr data-depth="1">
        <td>First depthmark</td>
        <td>See below</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>Steven</td>
      </tr>
      <tr data-depth="2">
        <td>Second depthmark</td>
        <td>See below</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>Eric</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>Daniel</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

Via JavaScript

Edit in sandbox 
const treetable = document.querySelector('.treetable');
let myTreetable =  new Treetable(treetable);

Via jQuery

Note: By default, MDB does not include jQuery and you have to add it to the project on your own.

Edit in sandbox 
$(document).ready(() => {
  $('.treetable').treetable();
});

Methods

Name Description Example
collapseAll Collapses all nests treetableInstance.collapseAll()
expandAll Expands all nests treetableInstance.expandAll()
dispose Removes the component's instance treetableInstance.dispose()
getInstance Static method which allows you to get the treetable instance associated to a DOM element. Treetable.getInstance(treeTable)
Edit in sandbox 
const treeTable = document.querySelector('.treetable');
const treetableInstance = Treetable.getInstance(treeTable);

treetableInstance.collapseAll();
treetableInstance.expandAll();
