treenity v0.0.2

treenity

Treenity is a flexable, performant and stripped UI component that is not dependent on any data structure, CSS or any UI library.

The component only offer set of hooks to manage the state, a HOC and an enhancer method to add the ability to add sections to each nodes.

There are some examples that cover some common use cases such as styling and windowing for performance boost.

Please use it wisely :)

Installation

Basic Usage

import React, { memo } from 'react';
import { getItemProps, useExpanded, useSelected } from 'treenity';

const Item = memo(({ label, expanded, visible, getSelectedProps, getExpandedProps }) => (
  <>
    {visible && (
      <div {...getSelectedProps()}>
        <button {...getExpandedProps()}>{expanded ? '-' : '+'}</button>
        {label}
      </div>
    )}
  </>
));

const Tree = () => {
  const selectedProps = useSelected();
  const expandedProps = useExpanded();

  return (
    <>
      {data.map(item => (
        <Item key={item.id} {...getItemProps({ ...item, ...selectedProps, ...expandedProps })} />
      ))}
    </>
  );
};

Data Structure

The idea behind this package is not to stick with any data structure, you can provide any structure you like. The motivation behind it that i was working on several projects that were using a tree but each one of them had a different structure, one add a "regular" structure and the second had a flat structure, and i wanted to have something generic that i can use for both.

In addition i didnt want to provide any UI items since each implementation is different, one was using styled-components and other css modules, so the responsability for building the UI components is on you!! The package provides some helpers and a lot of examples to help you do it right.

There are 2 parameters that are required for basic structuring of the tree:

For example:

[
  { depth: 0, id: 'Treenity', label: 'Treenity' },
  { depth: 1, id: 'src', label: 'src' },
  { depth: 2, id: 'components', label: 'components' },
  { depth: 3, id: 'grid', label: 'grid' },
  { depth: 1, id: 'tests', label: 'tests' },
  { depth: 1, id: 'other', label: 'other' },
];

Hooks

For managing the state of your tree component, the package provides the following hooks: useSelected, useExpanded and useLoading

Each hook expose some helpers functions that for managing the state.

useSelected

const { setSelected, isSelected } = useSelected();

setSelected

function(id: string) | optional

Set the selected item by it's id. If passing no value then nothing will be selected

isSelected

function(id: string): boolean | required

check if specific item is selected

useExpanded

const { setExpanded, isExpanded, isVisible } = useExpanded();

setExpanded

function(id: string, isExpanded: boolean) | required

Set the expanded item by it's id.

isVisible

function(id: string): boolean | required

check if specific item is visible

isExpanded

function(id: string): boolean | required

check if specific item is expanded

Please note: If you will like to use this isExpanded and isVisible while managing your own custom logic, make sure to call both methods - start with isVisible method and end with isExpanded method - order is important!.

useLoading

const { setLoading, isLoading } = useLoading();

setLoading

function(id: string, isLoading: boolean) | required

Set the loading item by it's id.

isLoading

function(id: string): boolean | required

check if specific item is loaded

#getItemProps

getItemProps(props: Object): Object

This method does all the magic by calculating each item state. The idea is to pass each of the state methods by using each of the hooks. The method triggers each of the hooks method automatically.

For example:

const selectedProps = useSelected();
const expandedProps = useExpanded();
const loadingProps - useLoading();

<Item {...getItemProps({...item, ...selectedProps, ...expandedProps, ...loadingProps})}/>

Props returned by the method:

In addition there are extra helpers function you can use in your components for managing the click state

getSelectedProps()

This method return an onClick event that will be automatically attached to the component and trigger the selection method

getExpandedProps()

This method return an onClick event that will be automatically attached to the component and trigger the expanded method

getKeyboardProps()

This method return an onKedown event that will be automatically attached to the component and will enable keyboard navigation on the tree items

const Item = memo(({ label, visible, ...props }) => {
  const { getSelectedProps, getExpandedProps, getKeyboardProps } = props;

  return (
    <>
      {visible && (
        <div {...getKeyboardProps()} {...getSelectedProps()}}>
          <button {...getExpandedProps()}>+</button>
          {label}
        </div>
      )}
    </>
  );
}, areEqualDebug);

combineClickProps

In case you want to trigger both selected and expanded state together you can use the following helper function

const { getExpandedProps, getSelectedProps } = props;
const onClick = useCallback(() => combineClickProps({ getExpandedProps, getSelectedProps })(), [getExpandedProps, getSelectedProps]);

Sections

Sections is a way to add to each item header and footer since sometimes you will want to add extra information around your item which are not part of the data structure - for example you will wanna add a pagination part inside of each item. The header will be displayed on top of the item and the footer at the bottom of the item - you can use both.

In order to view the section you will need to define for each item itemHeader and itemFooter params.

For example:

  { id: 'Treenity', label: 'Treenity', depth: 0, more: true, itemHeader: true, itemFooter: true },

There are 2 ways of using sections - with the enhancedGetItemPropsWithSections method or by withSections HOC

enhancedGetItemPropsWithSections

enhancedGetItemPropsWithSections(props: Object): ArrayObject | Required: isLast: boolean

This method enhancing getItemProps and add to it the extra sections. The difference between both that getItemProps return an object representing the props of the item and enhancedGetItemPropsWithSections return and array of props that consists of the sections and the item.

In order for the logic to work correctly it is required to pass a isLast boolean param since the method need to know when it reached the last item, and add all the leftover items to the last item.

The props returned for the sections items are:

const getItemProps = enhancedGetItemPropsWithSections();

const Tree = () => {
  const stateProps = { ...useSelected(), ...useExpanded(), ...useLoading() };

  data.reduce((acc, { depth, ...item }, idx) => {
    const items = getItemProps({ depth, ...item, isLast: idx === data.length - 1, ...stateProps });

    items.forEach(item => {
      const { visible, ...props } = item;
      if (visible) acc.push({ visible, ...props });
    });

    return acc;
  }, []);
};

withSections

need to talk about clearing the cache of lodash.memoize - if replacing the cache type - how do we handle ?
