I am building a web app where I need to display a tree using lists. My basic structure looks like this:
* Node 1
* Node 1.1
* Node 1.1.1
* Node 1.1.1.1
* Node 1.1.2
* Node 1.2
http://jsfiddle.net/QffFm/1/
I'm trying to find something in angular or bootstrap that I can use such that:
- At first view of the list, it is expanded up to the third layer. In my fiddle, I would want to see Node 1, Node 1.1, Node 1.1.1, Node 1.1.2 and Node 1.2 (all but the 4th layer - Node 1.1.1.1)
- On clicking on the list-style icon (not the word name of the node) The node collapses or expands
- Ideally, I would love for the icon to change also dependent on if the item is expanded. A right arrow if there is more underneath, a down arrow if it is already expanded, and maybe a regular list item if there are no children
I am very new to AngularJS and still quite new to Bootstrap as well. I see that Angular has an accordion function which doesn't seem to quite handle everything I need it to.
I would love some direction on the best approach before I code a lot of logic into my web app that handles the different cases. I think this must be a common problem so perhaps there is something ready made that I can utilize. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
HTML code:
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="controller">
<my-directive></my-directive>
<table style="width: 100%"><tbody><td>
<tree items="tree"></tree>
</td></tbody></table>
</div>
Angular code:
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('controller', function ($scope){
$scope.tree=[{"name":"Node 1","items":[{"name":"Node 1.1","items":[{"name":"Node 1.1.1","items":[{"name":"Node 1.1.1.1","items":[]}]},{"name":"Node 1.1.2","items":[]}]},{"name":"Node 1.2","items":[]}]}];
});
app.directive('tree', function() {
return {
template: '<ul><tree-node ng-repeat="item in items"></tree-node></ul>',
restrict: 'E',
replace: true,
scope: {
items: '=items',
}
};
});
app.directive('treeNode', function($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '<li >{{item.name}}</li>',
link: function(scope, elm, attrs) {
if (scope.item.items.length > 0) {
var children = $compile('<tree items="item.items"></tree>')(scope);
elm.append(children);
}
}
};
});
