Usage notes


The typical usage of a Tree view involves nesting a .spectrum-Treeview element within the .spectrum-TreeView-item parent element.
The visibility of child treeviews is controlled by adding .is-open to the .spectrum-TreeView-item of the parent element.

Standard treeviews span the entire width of their parent container and are used within panels.

Flat
Contribution

A Tree view drawn without nesting, suitable for infinite scrolling. With this version of the treeview, you must manage the visibility of “child items” manually based on the open state of the “parent item.” The level of visual indentation is handled by a numbered indent variant class.

Migration Guide


T-shirt sizing

Tree view now supports t-shirt sizing and requires that you specify the size of button by adding a .spectrum-TreeView--size* class.

Additional classes

The following classes must be added:

  • .spectrum-TreeView-label is now required to wrap labels to enable truncation behavior
  • .spectrum-Treeview-icon is now required on all non-indicator icons

Renamed classes

  • .spectrum-TreeView-standalone renamed to .spectrum-TreeView-detached
  • .spectrum-TreeView-indicator renamed to .spectrum-TreeView-itemIndicator
  • .spectrum-TreeView-icon renamed to .spectrum-TreeView-itemIcon

Moved classes

  • .is-drop-target and .is-selected must be placed on the .spectrum-TreeView-item element

Workflow icon size

  • Please replace .spectrum-Icon--sizeS with .spectrum-Icon--sizeM.

Removed focus-ring class

We’ve migrated away from the focus-ring class in favor of the native :focus-visible pseudo-class due to changes in browser support.

Revised sections markup

The markup for sections has changed so that the heading is now a child of an li instead of the ul, to ensure valid markup. An additional
class spectrum-TreeView-section has been added for the first level li elements that contain the section heading and its child Tree view.
