dijit.tree.TreeStoreModel

The TreeStoreModel connects a data store with a single “root” item to a dijit.Tree.

An example might be an employee database where the company’s CEO is the root item, and all other employees report directly or indirectly to the CEO.

Here’s an example of a declarative initialization for a TreeStoreModel and for the data store that it connects to:

<div dojoType="dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore" jsId="store"
        url="../tests/_data/treeTest.json"></div>
<div dojoType="dijit.tree.TreeStoreModel" jsId="model"
        childrenAttrs="kids"
        store="store" query="{id:'root'}"></div>

A few things to note here:

• The query {id:'root'}, when run against the data store, must return exactly one item
• That item should have an attribute named "kids" with a list of children items

Here's a much more complicated where we've overridden the getChildren() method because in the data store a child references it's parent rather than vice-versa.

<div dojoType="dijit.tree.TreeStoreModel" jsId="model" store="store">
        <script type="dojo/method" event="getChildren" args="item, onComplete">
                return store.fetch({query: {parent: store.getIdentity(item)}, onComplete: onComplete});
        </script>
        <script type="dojo/method" event="mayHaveChildren" args="item">
                var type = store.getValue(item, "type");
                return (type == "continent" || type == "country");
        </script>
</div>
