Core props
Name | Type (default) | Description
------------- | ------------- | -------------
model-value | Array[String | Number] | String | Number | null ([]) | Selected value(s): array of ids (multi-select) or single id (single-select with isSingleSelect). Selected on load; updates when checkboxes/tags change.
options | Array[Object] ([]) | It is an array of objects {name: String, value: String \| Number, disabled?: Boolean, htmlAttr?: object, isGroupSelectable?: boolean, children: [] }, where children are the same array of objects. Do not use duplicated value field. But you can use duplicated names. Read more.
disabled | Boolean (false) | List will be disabled.
id | String ('') | id attribute for the accessibility.
ariaLabel | String ('') | aria-label attribute for the accessibility.
isSingleSelect | Boolean (false) | Converts multi-select to the single value select. Checkboxes will be removed. You should pass only one id instead of array of values. Also you can set showTags to false. It helps to show treeselect as a dropdown.
isGroupedValue | Boolean (false) | Return groups if they selected instead of separate ids. Treeselect returns only leaves ids by default.
isIndependentNodes | Boolean (false) | All nodes in treeselect work as an independent entity. Check/uncheck action ignore children/parent updates workflow. Disabled nodes ignore children/parent workflow as well.
rtl | Boolean (false) | RTL mode.
isBoostedRendering | Boolean (false) | Experimental - Improves list rendering performance by using visibility-based optimizations and IntersectionObserver. Useful for efficiently rendering large lists.
List settings props
Name | Type (default) | Description
------------- | ------------- | -------------
disabledBranchNode | Boolean (false) | It is impossible to select groups. You can select only leaves.
openLevel | Number (0) | All groups will be opened to this level.
appendToBody | Boolean (false) | List will be appended to the body instead of the input container.
alwaysOpen | Boolean (false) | List will be always opened. You can use it for comfortable style changing. If you want to use it as an opened list, turn staticList to true.
staticList | Boolean (false) | Add the list as a static DOM element. List doesn't overlap content. This prop will be ignored if you use appendToBody.
emptyText | String ('No results found...') | Empty list text.
direction | String (auto) | A force direction for the list. Supported values: auto, top, bottom.
expandSelected | Boolean (false) | All groups which have checked values will be expanded on the init.
saveScrollPosition | Boolean (true) | The list saves the last scroll position before close. If you open the list your scroll will be on the previous position. If you set the value to false - the scroll will have position 0 and the first item will be focused every time.
listClassName | String ('') | A class name for list. Useful to change styles for appendToBody mode.
Input settings props
Name | Type (default) | Description
------------- | ------------- | -------------
showTags | Boolean (true) | Selected values look like tags. The false value shows results as '{count} elements selected'. You can change text if you use tagsCountText prop. For one selected element, you will see a name of this element.
tagsCountText | String ('elements selected') | Shown when showTags is false, after the count: '{count} {tagsCountText}'.
tagsSortFn | (a: TagsSortItem, b: TagsSortItem) => number | null (null) | Defines the sorting order for tags in the input field.TagsSortItem - { value: ValueOptionType, name: string }.
showCount | Boolean (false) | Shows count of children near the group's name.
clearable | Boolean (true) | Clear icon is available.
searchable | Boolean (true) | Search is available.
placeholder | String ('Select...') | Placeholder text.
grouped | Boolean (true) | Show groups in the input and group leafs if all group selected.
Emits
Name | Type (default) | Description
------------- | ------------- | -------------
update:modelValue | (value) => void (undefined) | Emitted when the selection changes (used by v-model).
input | (value) => void (undefined) | Returns selected values when the list value changes.
open | (value) => void (undefined) | Returns selected values when the list is opened.
close | (value) => void (undefined) | Returns selected values when the list is closed.
name-change | (name) => void (undefined) | Returns the selected name in the input when it changes.
search | (value) => void (undefined) | Returns the search string when the user types. You can build autocomplete with this emit.
open-close-group | ({ groupId, isClosed }: { groupId: TreeselectValue, isClosed: boolean }) => void (undefined) | Returns groupId and open/closed status when a group is expanded or collapsed.
Additional props
Name | Type (default) | Description
------------- | ------------- | -------------
iconElements | Object({ arrowUp, ... }) | Object containing all SVG icons. You can use HTMLElement or a String to reset values from the default Object. Object: iconElements: { arrowUp, arrowDown, arrowRight, attention, clear, cross, check, partialCheck }. After reset of icon you have to update styles if it is necessary, use alwaysOpen prop for more comfortable work with styles changes.
Slots
Name | Type (default) | Description ------------- | ------------- | ------------- default | undefined | The slot's content will be mounted at the end of the list.
Option description
This is the shape of one option in the options prop:
Name | Type | Description
------------- | ------------- | -------------
value | String | Number (required!) | It is a value of the node. It should be unique!
name | String (required!) | It is the name of the node. Can be duplicated.
disabled | Boolean (optional) | The node will be disabled. It is an optional field, you can skip it if no need to work with disabled values.
htmlAttr | Object (optional) | The object of the HTML attributes, the value of the object should be a String type. These attributes will be merged into the node HTML tag.
isGroupSelectable | Boolean (optional - true) | Determines whether groups are selectable. This behavior is similar to the disabledBranchNode prop but applies specifically to groups. It does not affect regular (non-group) items.
children | { name: String, value: String | Number, disabled?: Boolean, htmlAttr?: object, children: [] }[] | Children are the same array of objects.
Customizing colors
The component uses CSS custom properties (variables) for colors. Variables are defined on :root. Override them on :root (or body) so they apply to both the input and the dropdown list—especially when using appendToBody, since the list is then rendered outside the .treeselect container.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| --treeselectjs-border-color | #d7dde4 | Border color of input and list |
| --treeselectjs-bg | #ffffff | Background of the input |
| --treeselectjs-border-focus | #101010 | Border color when focused |
| --treeselectjs-tag-bg | #d7dde4 | Background of selected tags |
| --treeselectjs-tag-bg-hover | #c5c7cb | Tag background on hover |
| --treeselectjs-tag-remove-hover | #eb4c42 | Remove (×) icon color on hover |
| --treeselectjs-icon | #c5c7cb | Arrow and clear icons |
| --treeselectjs-icon-hover | #838790 | Icons on hover |
| --treeselectjs-item-counter | #838790 | Group item count text |
| --treeselectjs-item-focus-bg | #f0ffff | List item background when focused |
| --treeselectjs-item-selected-bg | #e9f1f1 | List item background when selected |
| --treeselectjs-item-disabled-text | #c5cbca | Disabled item text color |
| --treeselectjs-checkbox-bg | #ffffff | Checkbox background |
| --treeselectjs-checkbox-border-color | #d7dde4 | Checkbox border color |
| --treeselectjs-checkbox-checked-bg | #52c67e | Checkbox fill when checked |
| --treeselectjs-checkbox-checked-icon | #ffffff | Checkmark color |
Example:
body {
--treeselectjs-border-color: #444;
--treeselectjs-bg: #1e1e1e;
--treeselectjs-border-focus: #6cb6ff;
--treeselectjs-tag-bg: #333;
--treeselectjs-tag-bg-hover: #444;
--treeselectjs-item-focus-bg: #2a2a2a;
--treeselectjs-item-selected-bg: #2d3a3a;
--treeselectjs-checkbox-checked-bg: #52c67e;
/* override other variables as needed */
}Notes
- If you want to change the padding of the element you can use a CSS selector. I've added 'group' and 'level' attributes, but you have to use !important.
- Do not use duplicated values for the options. You will see an error with duplicated values. But you can use duplicated names.
- Value prop inside the options prop should be a String or Number.
- If you use isSingleSelect prop, you should pass only a single value without an array.
- If you use isSingleSelect prop, you can set showTags to false. It helps to show treeselect as a dropdown. You can also disable selecting group nodes with disabledBranchNode.
- If you use a large list of options and see a problem with performance, try to use isBoostedRendering prop.
