filtering in a tree (and combotree)

[mzeddd]

Hi,

Is it possible to add filtering possibility to tree elements?

I have tree (with checkboxes) with big number of elements and sometimes it is hard to find items that I need in different branches.

Filter from my point of view could help me to narrow list of visible items and make selecting more simple.

Thanks in advance!

The following extended method 'doFilter' achieve the filtering functionality.

Code:

(function($){
function forNodes(data, callback){
var nodes = [];
for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
nodes.push(data[i]);
}
while(nodes.length){
var node = nodes.shift();
if (callback(node) == false){return;}
if (node.children){
for(var i=node.children.length-1; i>=0; i--){
nodes.unshift(node.children[i]);
}
}
}
}

$.extend($.fn.tree.methods, {
doFilter: function(jq, text){
return jq.each(function(){
var target = this;
var data = $.data(target, 'tree').data;
var ids = {};
forNodes(data, function(node){
if (node.text.toLowerCase().indexOf(text.toLowerCase()) == -1){
$('#'+node.domId).hide();
} else {
$('#'+node.domId).show();
ids[node.domId] = 1;
}
});
for(var id in ids){
showParents(id);
}

function showParents(domId){
var p = $(target).tree('getParent', $('#'+domId)[0]);
while(p){
$(p.target).show();
p = $(target).tree('getParent', p.target);
}
}
});
}
});

})(jQuery);

Usage example:

Code:

$('#tt').tree('doFilter', 'f1');
$('#tt').tree('doFilter', 'f2');

Hi,

Thank you stworthy, but sorry I mixed up tree and combotree.

This example does not work for my combotree.

I've been thinking about this filter like in picture below...

Please try this example http://jsfiddle.net/2anmLm4q/

Perfect!

Just one last moment. How can I make "filter" button work using "Enter" not only clicking on it?

Never mind, Fixed by onChange event for easyui-textbox.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Bringing up the topic.

Is it possible to make this filterfield to be part of EasyUI and make it available for by setting some parameter to TRUE ?

It would make live much easyer in case if we have to create big number of such elements

Thanks

The 'filter' property and 'doFilter' method will be supported in tree plugin since next version 1.4.2.

Hi,

I've got new idea from users on top of this filter.

Is it possble to enable "cascadeCheck" for results after the filtering?

For example I have over 100 records, after the filtering I get 20 and I need to select all of them.

It is not a problem to check all of them one by one manually, but it is not very fun to repeat it several times in a row.

Just set the 'cascadeCheck' property to true, so you can check all the filtering nodes by checking the root node.

It is not possible with 'doFilter' code above.
It selects all elements in a branch even after the filtering I have 2 or 3 items.

Does it work in what will be relieased?

Thanks

Please try to download the patch from http://www.jeasyui.com/download/downloads/jquery-easyui-1.4.1-patch.zip. And then call the  'getChecked' method to return the checked nodes.

Better!

But still not perfect.

Ex1:
Have combotree with filter.
I do filter and get small amount of records. Select all of them at once. Good
I remove filter and see all elements in the branch checked Not good

Ex2:
Have combotree with filter.
I do filter and get small amount of records. Select all of them at once. Good
I apply new filter to add new elements (in the same branch). Get new list but all items are already checked. But should not be checkedNot good

Ex3:
Very close to Ex2 but results from two branches. Result is also Not good

I mean 'big check' should check only results of filters job. If we have something else checked or unchecked it should stay untouched.

If you want to use the partial checkbox in a tree, please try to download the preview tree plugin from http://www.jeasyui.com/easyui/plugins/jquery.tree.js. Before using it please add the CSS style to your page.

Code:

<style>
  .tree-node-hidden{
    display: none;
  }
</style>
