TreeSelect is a form component to choose from hierarchical data.
import TreeSelect from 'primevue/treeselect';
TreeSelect is used as a controlled component with v-model directive along with an options collection. Internally Tree component is used so the options model is based on TreeNode API.
In single selection mode, value binding should be the key value of a node.
<TreeSelect v-model="selectedValue" :options="nodes" placeholder="Select Item" class="md:w-20rem w-full" />
More than one node is selectable by setting selectionMode to multiple. By default in multiple selection mode, metaKey press (e.g. ⌘) is not necessary to add to existing selections. When the optional metaKeySelection is present, behavior is changed in a way that selecting a new node requires meta key to be present. Note that in touch enabled devices, TreeSelect always ignores metaKey.
In multiple selection mode, value binding should be a key-value pair where key is the node key and value is a boolean to indicate selection.
{
'0-0': true,
'0-1-0': true
}
<TreeSelect v-model="selectedValue" :options="nodes" selectionMode="multiple" placeholder="Select Item" class="md:w-20rem w-full" />
Selection of multiple nodes via checkboxes is enabled by configuring selectionMode as checkbox.
In checkbox selection mode, value binding should be a key-value pair where key is the node key and value is an object that has checked and partialChecked properties to represent the checked state of a node obje to indicate selection.
{
'0-0': {
partialChecked: false,
checked: true
}
}
<TreeSelect v-model="selectedValue" :options="nodes" selectionMode="checkbox" placeholder="Select Item" class="md:w-20rem w-full" />
A floating label appears on top of the input field when focused. Visit FloatLabel documentation for more information.
<FloatLabel class="w-full md:w-20rem">
<TreeSelect v-model="selectedValue" :options="nodes" class="w-full" />
<label>Tree Select</label>
</FloatLabel>
Specify the variant property as filled to display the component with a higher visual emphasis than the default outlined style.
<TreeSelect v-model="selectedValue" variant="filled" :options="nodes" placeholder="Select Item" class="md:w-20rem w-full" />
Invalid state is displayed using the invalid prop to indicate a failed validation. You can use this style when integrating with form validation libraries.
<TreeSelect v-model="selectedValue" invalid class="md:w-20rem w-full" :options="nodes" placeholder="TreeSelect" />
When disabled is present, the element cannot be edited and focused.
<TreeSelect v-model="selectedValue" disabled class="md:w-20rem w-full" :options="nodes" placeholder="TreeSelect" />
Value to describe the component can either be provided with aria-labelledby or aria-label props. The treeselect element has a combobox role in addition to aria-haspopup and aria-expanded attributes. The relation between the combobox and the popup is created with aria-controls that refers to the id of the popup.
The popup list has an id that refers to the aria-controls attribute of the combobox element and uses tree as the role. Each list item has a treeitem role along with aria-label, aria-selected and aria-expanded attributes. In checkbox selection, aria-checked is used instead of aria-selected. Checkbox and toggle icons are hidden from screen readers as their parent element with treeitem role and attributes are used instead for readers and keyboard support. The container element of a treenode has the group role. The aria-setsize, aria-posinset and aria-level attributes are calculated implicitly and added to each treeitem.
<span id="dd1">Options</span>
<TreeSelect aria-labelledby="dd1" />
<TreeSelect aria-label="Options" />
