And on your application module:

import {NgxTreeSelectModule} from 'ngx-tree-select';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [ ...],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    ....,
    NgxTreeSelectModule.forRoot({
      allowFilter: true,
      filterPlaceholder: 'Type your filter here...',
      maxVisibleItemCount: 5,
      idField: 'id',
      textField: 'name',
      childrenField: 'children',

Using the Tree Select

We will need to add first a version of Font Awesome to our page, for example:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Then we can use the Tree Select like this:

<form novalidate>
  <tree-select name="simpleSelect"
              [items]="items"
              childrenField="children"
              [(ngModel)]="simpleSelected"
              required=true
              #simpleSelect="ngModel"
              [filterPlaceholder]="FilterPlaceholder"
              [allowFilter]="ShowFilter"
              [disabled]="Disabled"
              [allowParentSelection]="AllowParentSelection"
              expandMode="all"></tree-select>
  <div *ngIf="simpleSelect.errors && (simpleSelect.dirty || simpleSelect.touched)" class="alert alert-danger">
    <div [hidden]="!simpleSelect.errors.required">Simple select is required</div>
  </div>
</form>

<form novalidate>
  <tree-select name="multipleSelect"
              [items]="items"
              childrenField="children"
              [multiple]="true"
              [(ngModel)]="multipleSelected"
              filterPlaceholder="Type item filter..."
              required=true
              minlength="2"
              maxlength="4"
              [allowParentSelection]="AllowParentSelection"
              #multipleSelect="ngModel"
              [filterPlaceholder]="FilterPlaceholder"
              [maxVisibleItemCount]="MaxDisplayed"
              [allowFilter]="ShowFilter"
              [disabled]="Disabled">
  </tree-select>
  <div *ngIf="multipleSelect.errors && (multipleSelect.dirty || multipleSelect.touched)" class="alert alert-danger">
    <div [hidden]="!multipleSelect.errors.required">Multiple select is required</div>
    <div [hidden]="!multipleSelect.errors.minlength">You must choose at least 2 items on Multiple select</div>
    <div [hidden]="!multipleSelect.errors.maxlength">You must choose maximum 4 items on Multiple select</div>
  </div>

Component attributes

When you place tree-select on HTML template you can define :

• items : list of items
• multiple : allow multiple selection
• disabled : disable component
• allowFilter : display filter input on dropdown
• filterPlaceholder : determine placeholder text for filter
• maxVisibleItemCount : determine maximum number of items are displayed on multiple select

tree-select component use default options define when you call NgxTreeSelectModule.forRoot except if you override it with attribute on HTML template.

Running the Demo Application

This command will build and start the demo application:

npm start

Running This Module In Development

First let's build the library using this command:

npm run lib:build

Then let's link it:

cd dist_package\ngx-tree-select
npm link

On another folder on the same machine where we have for example a running Angular CLI, we then do:

npm link ngx-tree-select

Running the Tests

The tests can be executed with the following commands:

npm run test
npm run e2e

Using SystemJs via the UMD bundle ?

Make sure to add this to your map configuration, if you need the module served from a CDN:

map: {

   ...
   'ngx-tree-select': 'https://unpkg.com/[email protected]<version number>/ngx-tree-select.rollup.umd.min.js'
}

Otherwise if serving from node_modulesdirectly:

map: {
   ...
   'ngx-tree-select': 'node_modules/ngx-tree-select/bundles/ngx-tree-select.umd.min.js'
}

And in our packages property:

packages: {
   ...
  'ngx-tree-select': {
    main: 'index.js',
    defaultExtension: 'js'
  }

}
