We are using jsTree for treeview. JsTree is jquery plugin, that provides interactive trees. jsTree is easily extendable, themable and configurable, it supports HTML & JSON data sources, AJAX & async callback loading.
Read the official jsTree Documentation for a full list of instructions and other options.
In order to use jstree on your page, It is required to include the following vendors css in the "Vendors CSS" area from the page's header:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/vendor/libs/jstree/jstree.css" />Include the following vendors script in the "Vendors JS" area from the page's footer:
<script src="assets/vendor/libs/jstree/jstree.js"/> Basic
To create a basic treeview create a list and initialize like this: $(El).jstree()
<div id="jstree-basic">
<ul>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
css
<ul>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
app.css
</li>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
style.css
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="jstree-open" data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
img
<ul data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
bg.jpg
</li>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
logo.png
</li>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
avatar.png
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="jstree-open" data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>
js
<ul>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>jquery.js</li>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-folder"}'>app.js</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-file"}'>
index.html
</li>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-file"}'>
page-one.html
</li>
<li data-jstree='{"icon" : "bx bx-file"}'>
page-two.html
</li>
</ul>
</div>$("#jstree-basic").jstree()Custom Icons
