Behavior: Tree

posted May 28, 2014, 11:56 AM by Kevin Cassidy
Child objects can be rendered in tree fashion using the 'Tree' behavior:

<div data-behavior="Tree" data-tree-options="{{
    'object': 'Process', 
    'objectid':'1', 
    'keys': 'AssignedOrganizationID,ClientID', 
    'keysexclude': '', 
    'descendants': '', 
    'descendantsexclude': 'Message',
    'childobject': 'Attachment',
    'treetext': 'Click on a link to view related documents.'
}}" />

The options passed to the behavior comprise:
  • object: the parent used to populate the tree
  • objectid: the parent id used to populate the tree
  • keys: a comma delimited list of foreign keys to include in the tree navigation
  • keysexclude: a comma delimited list of foreign keys to exclude in the tree navigation
  • descendants: a comma delimited list of parents and children to include in the tree navigation
  • descendantsexclude: a comma delimited list of parents and children to exclude in the tree navigation
  • childobject: the objects to render in the tree results table
  • treetext: help text used to instruct the user on how to use the tree
Use case:
  • Adding a message: display documents that can be drag-and-dropped to the message attachments panel
