Using react-arborist to create tree components for React
Blog post from LogRocket
Developing a React application to present hierarchical data in a tree-like structure can enhance user navigation and understanding. This guide explores the implementation of a tree view system in a React project using the react-arborist library, which offers comprehensive features for creating tree components. The tutorial covers aspects such as setting up and customizing tree components, managing data and accessibility, and implementing both controlled and uncontrolled tree components. It also includes practical examples of customizing nodes with icons, adding search functionality, and handling user interactions with draggable and editable nodes. Additionally, the guide explains how to integrate node actions like renaming and deleting, and it provides insights into the flexibility and control offered by both implementation approaches. The tutorial is designed for developers with a basic understanding of React and aims to help them create visually intuitive and accessible tree views in their applications.
