TreeSelect

TreeSelect is a form component to choose from hierarchical data.

Import #


import { TreeSelectModule } from 'primeng/treeselect';

Basic #

TreeSelect is used as a controlled component with ng-model directive along with an options collection. Internally Tree component is used so the options model is based on TreeNode API.

In single selection mode, value binding should be the key value of a node.

Select Item 


<p-treeSelect class="md:w-20rem w-full" containerStyleClass="w-full" [(ngModel)]="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" placeholder="Select Item"></p-treeSelect>

Reactive Forms #

TreeSelect can also be used with reactive forms. In this case, the formControlName property is used to bind the component to a form control.

Select Item 


<form [formGroup]="formGroup">
    <p-treeSelect class="md:w-20rem w-full" containerStyleClass="w-full" formControlName="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" placeholder="Select Item"></p-treeSelect>
</form>

Multiple #

More than one node is selectable by setting selectionMode to multiple. By default in multiple selection mode, metaKey press (e.g. ⌘) is necessary to add to existing selections however this can be configured with disabling the metaKeySelection property. Note that in touch enabled devices, TreeSelect always ignores metaKey.

In multiple selection mode, value binding should be a key-value pair where key is the node key and value is a boolean to indicate selection.



{
    '0-0': true,
    '0-1-0': true
}
Select Item 


<p-treeSelect class="w-full md:w-20rem" containerStyleClass="w-full" [(ngModel)]="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" [metaKeySelection]="false" selectionMode="multiple" placeholder="Select Item"></p-treeSelect>

Checkbox #

Selection of multiple nodes via checkboxes is enabled by configuring selectionMode as checkbox.

Select Item


<p-treeSelect class="w-full md:w-20rem" containerStyleClass="w-full" [(ngModel)]="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" display="chip" [metaKeySelection]="false" selectionMode="checkbox" placeholder="Select Item"></p-treeSelect>

Filter #

Filtering is enabled by adding the filter property, by default label property of a node is used to compare against the value in the text field, in order to customize which field(s) should be used during search define filterBy property. In addition filterMode specifies the filtering strategy. In lenient mode when the query matches a node, children of the node are not searched further as all descendants of the node are included. On the other hand, in strict mode when the query matches a node, filtering continues on all descendants.

Select Item 


<p-treeSelect class="md:w-20rem w-full" containerStyleClass="w-full" [(ngModel)]="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" placeholder="Select Item" [filter]="true" [filterInputAutoFocus]="true"></p-treeSelect>

Float Label #

A floating label appears on top of the input field when focused.

Select Item 


<span class="p-float-label md:w-20rem w-full">
    <p-treeSelect containerStyleClass="w-full" [(ngModel)]="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" placeholder="Select Item"></p-treeSelect>
    <label for="treeselect">TreeSelect</label>
</span>

Invalid #

Invalid state style is added using the ng-invalid and ng-dirty class to indicate a failed validation.

Select Item 


<p-treeSelect class="md:w-20rem w-full ng-invalid ng-dirty" containerStyleClass="w-full" [(ngModel)]="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" placeholder="Select Item"></p-treeSelect>

Disabled #

When disabled is present, the element cannot be edited and focused.

Select Item 


<p-treeSelect class="md:w-20rem w-full" containerStyleClass="w-full" [(ngModel)]="selectedNodes" [options]="nodes" [disabled]="true" placeholder="Select Item"></p-treeSelect>

Accessibility #

Screen Reader

Value to describe the component can either be provided with aria-labelledby or aria-label props. The treeselect element has a combobox role in addition to aria-haspopup and aria-expanded attributes. The relation between the combobox and the popup is created with aria-controls that refers to the id of the popup.

The popup list has an id that refers to the aria-controls attribute of the combobox element and uses tree as the role. Each list item has a treeitem role along with aria-label, aria-selected and aria-expanded attributes. In checkbox selection, aria-checked is used instead of aria-selected. Checkbox and toggle icons are hidden from screen readers as their parent element with treeitem role and attributes are used instead for readers and keyboard support. The container element of a treenode has the group role. The aria-setsize, aria-posinset and aria-level attributes are calculated implicitly and added to each treeitem.

If filtering is enabled, filterInputProps can be defined to give aria-* props to the filter input element.
