Kendo TreeView Search with Highlight

Question

I have a KendoTreeview with spriteclass. I want to highlight the nodes (root as well as child nodes) with my search term. I have implemented the search functionality. But the issue when i search it is highlighting the term in the nodes but missing the SpriteClass in the nodes after first search. Any idea ?

jsFiddle code

$('#search-term').on('keyup', function () {
    $('span.k-in > span.highlight').each(function () {
        $(this).parent().text($(this).parent().text());
    });

    // ignore if no search term
    if ($.trim($(this).val()) == '') {
        return;
    }

    var term = this.value.toUpperCase();
    var tlen = term.length;

    $('#treeview-sprites span.k-in').each(function (index) {
        var text = $(this).text();
        var html = '';
        var q = 0;
        while ((p = text.toUpperCase().indexOf(term, q)) >= 0) {
            html += text.substring(q, p) + '<span class="highlight">' + text.substr(p, tlen) + '</span>';
            q = p + tlen;
        }

        if (q > 0) {
            html += text.substring(q);
            $(this).html(html);

            $(this).parentsUntil('.k-treeview').filter('.k-item').each(

            function (index, element) {
                $('#treeview-sprites').data('kendoTreeView').expand($(this));
                $(this).data('search-term', term);
            });
        }
    });

$("#treeview-sprites").kendoTreeView({
    dataSource: [{
        text: "My Documents",
        expanded: true,
        spriteCssClass: "rootfolder",
        items: [{
            text: "Kendo UI Project",
            expanded: true,

                spriteCssClass: "html"
            }, {
                text: "logo.png",
                spriteCssClass: "image"
            }]
        }, {

                spriteCssClass: "image"
            }, {
                text: "Research.pdf",
                spriteCssClass: "pdf"
            }, ]

                spriteCssClass: "pdf"
            }, {
                text: "April.pdf",
                spriteCssClass: "pdf"
            }]
        }]
    }]
})

Kendo's tree view widget doesn't like it if you muck around in its HTML, so I suggest modifying the data source instead (this will require the encoded option for all items in the DS).

In the keyup handler, you reset the DS whenever you search to clear highlighting, then instead of replacing the element's HTML directly, you set the model's text property:

$('#search-term').on('keyup', function () {
    var treeView = $("#treeview-sprites").getKendoTreeView();
    treeView.dataSource.data(pristine);

    // ignore if no search term
    if ($.trim($(this).val()) == '') {
        return;
    }

    var term = this.value.toUpperCase();
    var tlen = term.length;

    $('#treeview-sprites span.k-in').each(function (index) {
        var text = $(this).text();
        var html = '';
        var q = 0;
        while ((p = text.toUpperCase().indexOf(term, q)) >= 0) {
            html += text.substring(q, p) + '<span class="highlight">' + text.substr(p, tlen) + '</span>';
            q = p + tlen;
        }

        if (q > 0) {
            html += text.substring(q);

            var dataItem = treeView.dataItem($(this));
            dataItem.set("text", html);

            $(this).parentsUntil('.k-treeview').filter('.k-item').each(

            function (index, element) {
                $('#treeview-sprites').data('kendoTreeView').expand($(this));
                $(this).data('search-term', term);
            });
        }
    });

    $('#treeview-sprites .k-item').each(function () {
        if ($(this).data('search-term') != term) {
            $('#treeview-sprites').data('kendoTreeView').collapse($(this));
        }
    });
});

The tree definition needs the encoded option for this to work:

var pristine = [{
    encoded: false,
    text: "Kendo UI Project",
    expanded: true,
    spriteCssClass: "folder",
    items: [{
        encoded: false,
        text: "about.html",
        spriteCssClass: "html"
    }, {
        encoded: false,
        text: "index.html",
        spriteCssClass: "html"
    }, {
        encoded: false,
        text: "logo.png",
        spriteCssClass: "image"
    }]
}, {
    encoded: false,
    text: "New Web Site",
    expanded: true,
    spriteCssClass: "folder",
    items: [{
        encoded: false,
        text: "mockup.jpg",
        spriteCssClass: "image"
    }, {
        encoded: false,
        text: "Research.pdf",
        spriteCssClass: "pdf"
    }, ]
}, {
    encoded: false,
    text: "Reports",
    expanded: true,
    spriteCssClass: "folder",
    items: [{
        encoded: false,
        text: "February.pdf",
        spriteCssClass: "pdf"
    }, {
        encoded: false,
        text: "March.pdf",
        spriteCssClass: "pdf"
    }, {
        encoded: false,
        text: "April.pdf",
        spriteCssClass: "pdf"
    }]
}];

$("#treeview-sprites").kendoTreeView({
    dataSource: [{
        text: "My Documents",
        expanded: true,
        spriteCssClass: "rootfolder",
        items: pristine
    }]
});

Another tweak from me :)

What I did was change the highlight code in order to preserve anything else that might exist in the node html (such as sprite span for example).

I also implemented it as a TypeScript class wrapper around the TreeView.

If you don't want TypeScript stuff just copy the code out and it should work fine :)

export class SearchableTreeView {
    TreeView: kendo.ui.TreeView;
    emphasisClass: string;

    constructor(treeView: kendo.ui.TreeView) {
        this.TreeView = treeView;
        this.emphasisClass = "bg-warning";
    }

    search(term: string): void {
        var treeElement: JQuery = this.TreeView.element;
        var tv: kendo.ui.TreeView = this.TreeView;
        var emphClass = this.emphasisClass;

        this.resetHighlights();

        // ignore if no search term
        if ($.trim(term) === '') { return; }

        var term = term.toUpperCase();
        var tlen = term.length;

        $('span.k-in', treeElement).each(function (index) {
            // find all corresponding nodes
            var node = $(this);
            var htmlContent = node.html();
            var text = node.text();

            var searchPosition = text.toUpperCase().indexOf(term);
            if (searchPosition === -1) {
                // continue
                return true;
            }

            var generatedHtml = '<span class="highlight-container">' + text.substr(0, searchPosition) + '<span class="' + emphClass + '">' + text.substr(searchPosition, tlen) + '</span>' + text.substr(searchPosition + tlen) + '</span>';

            htmlContent = htmlContent.replace(text, generatedHtml);
            node.html(htmlContent);

            node.parentsUntil('.k-treeview').filter('.k-item').each(
                function (index, element) {
                    tv.expand($(this));
                    $(this).data('search-term', term);
                }
            );

        });

        $('.k-item', treeElement).each(function () {
            if ($(this).data('search-term') != term) {
                tv.collapse($(this));
            }
        });
    }

    resetHighlights(): void {
        this.TreeView.element.find("span.k-in:has('." + this.emphasisClass + "')")
            .each(function () {
                var node = $(this);
                var text = node.text();
                $(".highlight-container", node).remove();
                node.append(text);
            });
    }
}

   $("#textBox").on("input", function () {

    var query = this.value.toLowerCase();
    var dataSource = $("#Treeview").data("kendoTreeView").dataSource;

    filter(dataSource, query);
   });


  function filter(dataSource, query) {
        var uidData = [];
        var data = dataSource instanceof kendo.data.DataSource && dataSource.data();
        for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
            var item = data[i];
            var text = item.text.toLowerCase();
            var isChecked = item.checked;
            var itemVisible =
                query === true 
                || query === "" 
                || text.indexOf(query) >= 0; 

            uidData.push({ UID: item.uid, Visible: itemVisible });

        }

        if (query != "") {
            $.each(uidData, function (index, datavalue) {
                if (datavalue.Visible) {
                    $("li[data-uid='" + datavalue.UID + "']").addClass("highlight");
                }
                else {
                    $("li[data-uid='" + datavalue.UID + "']").removeClass("highlight");
                }

            });
        }
        else {
            $.each(uidData, function (index, datavalue) {
                $("li[data-uid='" + datavalue.UID + "']").removeClass("highlight");

            });
        }
    }

CSS :

.highlight {
    background:#0fa1ba;
    color:white;
}

Good job guys, just what I neeeded!

Using your code I did a small tweak (actually added just two lines of jquery filtering), so that now when searching for a keyword, the treeview shows only the branches that contain highlighted texts. Easy peasy! :)

Other branches are hidden if they do not contain the higlighted text. Simple as that.

This means we now have a VisualStudio-like treeview search (see the Visual Studio Solution Explorer Search and Filter: http://goo.gl/qr7yVb).

Here's my code and demo on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ComboFusion/d0qespaz/2/

HTML:

<input id="treeViewSearchInput"></input>
<ul id="treeview">
    <li data-expanded="true">My Web Site
        <ul>
            <li data-expanded="true">images
                <ul>
                    <li>logo.png</li>
                    <li>body-back.png</li>
                    <li>my-photo.jpg</li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li data-expanded="true">resources
                <ul>
                    <li data-expanded="true">pdf
                        <ul>
                            <li>brochure.pdf</li>
                            <li>prices.pdf</li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li>zip</li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li>about.html</li>
            <li>contacts.html</li>
            <li>index.html</li>
            <li>portfolio.html</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Another Root</li>
