ion-dynamic-tree-list v0.0.12

ion-dynamic-tree-list

Ionic directive for displaying nested list ionic items. This project is modified from ion-tree-list. While ion-tree-list is perfectly ok, it takes a while to load 1000+ nodes. I had an application that needed to handle this load and after a little research, the two way binding of Angular JS was the culprit. I decided to re-write it and load the subtree only when it is opened by the user. It results a faster rendering time. I decided to rename it to ion-dynamic-tree-list since the usage is quite different and it worked for me and hopefully, someone else will find it useful.

Installation

bower install ion-dynamic-tree-list --save

Add somewhere in your HEAD tag:

<script src="lib/ion-dynamic-tree-list/ion-dynamic-tree-list.js"></script>

You'll need to add ion-dynamic-tree-list as a dependency on your Ionic app:

angular.module('starter', [
    'ionic', 
    'controllers', 
    'services', 
    'ion-dynamic-tree-list'
])

In your controller.js:

  $scope.tasks = [{id: 1, parentid: 0, name: 'task 1'},
    {id: 2, parentid: 1, name: 'task 1.1'},
    {id: 3, parentid: 0, name: 'task 2'},
    {id: 4, parentid: 0, name: 'task 3'}
   ];

Or, you could load your $scope.tasks from database, e.g.:

Assuming your table structure is:

Note that the display order of an element follows the position of it in the array. So, you need to use "order by" in your database statement to control the display order of the tree.

    $http.get('http://yourwebsite/GetTasks').
       then(function (response) {
           $scope.tasks = response.data;
        });

In your view.html:

<ion-dynamic-tree-list items="" source="tasks"></ion-dynamic-tree-list>

Fetch clicked item by listening to $ionDynamicTreeList:ItemChosen in your controller:

Emmited events

$scope.$on('$ionDynamicTreeList:ItemChosen', function(event, item) {
  // process 'item'
  console.log(item);
});

Custom templates

Imagine your tasks in $scope.tasks in your controller.js has an extra attribute as checked:

  $scope.tasks = [{id: 1, parentid: 0, name: 'task 1', checked: false},
      {id: 2, parentid: 1, name: 'task 1.1', checked: false},
      {id: 3, parentid: 0, name: 'task 2', checked: true},
      {id: 4, parentid: 0, name: 'task 3', checked: false}
     ];

In order to consume the checked value in your view, create a ion-item.tmpl.html file in your www folder containing the following:

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="item.checked"/>
{{item.name}}

Add an extra template-url attribute for your custom template:

<ion-dynamic-tree-list items="" source="tasks" template-url="'ion-item.tmpl.html'"></ion-dynamic-tree-list>

To-dos

• Angular JS 2! Waiting for Ionic 2 to finalize.
• More complete Unit Test in Jasmine.
• Combine "items" and "source" into one?
• Add additional emit event when a tree is being collapse/expand for easier change by a developer?
