Basic Usage

Here's a simple example of how to create a tree view:

import 'package:arborio/tree_view.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

enum ElementType { file, folder }

// Define your data type
class FileSystemElement {
  FileSystemElement(this.name, this.type);
  final String name;
  final ElementType type;
}

// Create tree nodes
final nodes = [
  TreeNode<FileSystemElement>(
    const Key('root'),
    FileSystemElement('Documents', ElementType.folder),
    [
      TreeNode<FileSystemElement>(
        const Key('child1'),
        FileSystemElement('report.pdf', ElementType.file),
      ),
    ],
  ),
];

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => MaterialApp(
        home: Scaffold(
          body: TreeView<FileSystemElement>(
            nodes: nodes,
            builder: (context, node, isSelected, animation, select) => Row(
              children: [
                Icon(
                  node.data.type == ElementType.folder
                      ? Icons.folder
                      : Icons.file_copy,
                ),
                Text(node.data.name),
              ],
            ),
            expanderBuilder: (context, isExpanded, animation) =>
                RotationTransition(
              turns: animation,
              child: const Icon(Icons.chevron_right),
            ),
          ),
        ),
        debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      );
}

Using TreeViewKey

The TreeViewKey allows programmatic control of the tree view:

// Create a key
const treeViewKey = TreeViewKey<FileSystemElement>();

// Use it in your TreeView
TreeView<FileSystemElement>(
  key: treeViewKey,
  nodes: nodes,
  builder: (context, node, isSelected, animation, select) {
    // ... node builder implementation
  },
  expanderBuilder: (context, isExpanded, animation) {
    return RotationTransition(
      turns: animation,
      child: const Icon(Icons.chevron_right),
    );
  },
)

Node Management

You can dynamically add or remove nodes using the tree's state. This example uses mutable state for simplicitly, but you can achieve the same result with immutable data classes.

// Add a new node
FloatingActionButton(
  onPressed: () => setState(() {
    nodes.add(
      TreeNode(
        const Key('newnode'),
        FileSystemElement('New Folder', ElementType.folder),
      ),
    );
  }),
  child: const Icon(Icons.add),
),

// Expand/collapse all nodes
FloatingActionButton(
  onPressed: () => setState(() {
    treeViewKey.currentState?.expandAll();
  }),
  child: const Icon(Icons.expand),
),

FloatingActionButton(
  onPressed: () => setState(() {
    treeViewKey.currentState?.collapseAll();
  }),
  child: const Icon(Icons.compress),
),

Handling Node Events

TreeView<FileSystemElement>(
  onExpansionChanged: (node, expanded) {
    print('Node ${node.data.name} is now ${expanded ? 'expanded' : 'collapsed'}');
  },
  onSelectionChanged: (node) {
    print('Selected node: ${node.data.name}');
  },
  expanderBuilder: (context, isExpanded, animation) {
    return RotationTransition(
      turns: animation,
      child: const Icon(Icons.chevron_right),
    );
  },
)

Customizing Node Appearance

The builder parameter gives you full control over node appearance, along with an animation variable so you can respond to changes over time:

builder: (context, node, isSelected, animation, select) {
  return InkWell(
    onTap: () => select(node),
    child: Container(
      color: isSelected ? Colors.blue.withOpacity(0.1) : null,
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8),
      child: Row(
        children: [
          if (node.data.type == ElementType.folder)
            RotationTransition(
              turns: animation,
              child: const Icon(Icons.folder),
            )
          else
            const Icon(Icons.file_copy),
          const SizedBox(width: 8),
          Text(node.data.name),
        ],
      ),
    ),
  );
}
