Introduction

The ObjectStoreModel implements a dijit.tree.Model to connect a dijit.Tree to a dojo.store.

The dojo.store must implement it’s own getChildren() method.

If the store implements the Observable API implemented in dojo.store.Observable, then it will be leveraged to reflect store updates to the tree.

To support drag and drop, besides implementing getChildren() and Observable, the store must support the parent option to put(). And in order to have child elements ordered according to how the user dropped them, put() must support the before option.

Example

require([
    "dojo/aspect", "dojo/ready", "dojo/store/Memory", "dojo/store/Observable",
    "dijit/Tree", "dijit/tree/ObjectStoreModel", "dijit/tree/dndSource"
], function(aspect, ready, Memory, Observable, Tree, ObjectStoreModel, dndSource){

    ready(function(){
        // Create test store.
        store = new Memory({
