## Tree

Display a set of data with hierarchies.

### Basic usage

Basic tree structure.

:::demo
```html
<el-tree :data="data" :props="defaultProps" @node-click="handleNodeClick"></el-tree>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        data: [{
          label: 'Level one 1',
          children: [{
            label: 'Level two 1-1',
            children: [{
              label: 'Level three 1-1-1'
            }]
          }]
        }, {
          label: 'Level one 2',
          children: [{
            label: 'Level two 2-1',
            children: [{
              label: 'Level three 2-1-1'
            }]
          }, {
            label: 'Level two 2-2',
            children: [{
              label: 'Level three 2-2-1'
            }]
          }]
        }, {
          label: 'Level one 3',
          children: [{
            label: 'Level two 3-1',
            children: [{
              label: 'Level three 3-1-1'
            }]
          }, {
            label: 'Level two 3-2',
            children: [{
              label: 'Level three 3-2-1'
            }]
          }]
        }],
        defaultProps: {
          children: 'children',
          label: 'label'
        }
      };
    },
    methods: {
      handleNodeClick(data) {
        console.log(data);
      }
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Selectable

Used for node selection.

:::demo This example also shows how to load node data asynchronously.
```html
<el-tree
  :props="props"
  :load="loadNode"
  lazy
  show-checkbox
  @check-change="handleCheckChange">
</el-tree>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        props: {
          label: 'name',
          children: 'zones'
        },
        count: 1
      };
    },
    methods: {
      handleCheckChange(data, checked, indeterminate) {
        console.log(data, checked, indeterminate);
      },
      handleNodeClick(data) {
        console.log(data);
      },
      loadNode(node, resolve) {
        if (node.level === 0) {
          return resolve([{ name: 'Root1' }, { name: 'Root2' }]);
        }
        if (node.level > 3) return resolve([]);

        var hasChild;
        if (node.data.name === 'region1') {
          hasChild = true;
        } else if (node.data.name === 'region2') {
          hasChild = false;
        } else {
          hasChild = Math.random() > 0.5;
        }

        setTimeout(() => {
          var data;
          if (hasChild) {
            data = [{
              name: 'zone' + this.count++
            }, {
              name: 'zone' + this.count++
            }];
          } else {
            data = [];
          }

          resolve(data);
        }, 500);
      }
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Custom leaf node in lazy mode

:::demo A node's data is not fetched until it is clicked, so the Tree cannot predict whether a node is a leaf node. That's why a drop-down button is added to each node, and if it is a leaf node, the drop-down button will disappear when clicked. That being said, you can also tell the Tree in advance whether the node is a leaf node, avoiding the render of the drop-down button before a leaf node.
```html
<el-tree
  :props="props"
  :load="loadNode"
  lazy
  show-checkbox>
</el-tree>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        props: {
          label: 'name',
          children: 'zones',
          isLeaf: 'leaf'
        },
      };
    },
    methods: {
      loadNode(node, resolve) {
        if (node.level === 0) {
          return resolve([{ name: 'region' }]);
        }
        if (node.level > 1) return resolve([]);

        setTimeout(() => {
          const data = [{
            name: 'leaf',
            leaf: true
          }, {
            name: 'zone'
          }];

          resolve(data);
        }, 500);
      }
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Disabled checkbox

The checkbox of a node can be set as disabled.

:::demo In the example, 'disabled' property is declared in defaultProps, and some nodes are set as 'disabled:true'. The corresponding checkboxes are disabled and can't be clicked.
```html
<el-tree
  :data="data"
  :props="defaultProps"
  show-checkbox
  @check-change="handleCheckChange">
</el-tree>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        data: [{
          id: 1,
          label: 'Level one 1',
          children: [{
            id: 3,
            label: 'Level two 2-1',
            children: [{
              id: 4,
              label: 'Level three 3-1-1'
            }, {
              id: 5,
              label: 'Level three 3-1-2',
              disabled: true
            }]
          }, {
            id: 2,
            label: 'Level two 2-2',
            disabled: true,
            children: [{
              id: 6,
              label: 'Level three 3-2-1'
            }, {
              id: 7,
              label: 'Level three 3-2-2',
              disabled: true
            }]
          }]
        }],
        defaultProps: {
            children: 'children',
            label: 'label',
            disabled: 'disabled',
        },
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Default expanded and default checked
Tree nodes can be initially expanded or checked

:::demo Use `default-expanded-keys` and `default-checked-keys` to set initially expanded and initially checked nodes respectively. Note that for them to work, `node-key` is required. Its value is the name of a key in the data object, and the value of that key should be unique across the whole tree.
```html
<el-tree
  :data="data"
  show-checkbox
  node-key="id"
  :default-expanded-keys="[2, 3]"
  :default-checked-keys="[5]"
  :props="defaultProps">
</el-tree>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        data: [{
          id: 1,
          label: 'Level one 1',
          children: [{
            id: 4,
            label: 'Level two 1-1',
            children: [{
              id: 9,
              label: 'Level three 1-1-1'
            }, {
              id: 10,
              label: 'Level three 1-1-2'
            }]
          }]
        }, {
          id: 2,
          label: 'Level one 2',
          children: [{
            id: 5,
            label: 'Level two 2-1'
          }, {
            id: 6,
            label: 'Level two 2-2'
          }]
        }, {
          id: 3,
          label: 'Level one 3',
          children: [{
            id: 7,
            label: 'Level two 3-1'
          }, {
            id: 8,
            label: 'Level two 3-2'
          }]
        }],
        defaultProps: {
          children: 'children',
          label: 'label'
        }
      };
    }

### Checking tree nodes

:::demo This example shows how to get and set checked nodes. They both can be done in two approaches: node and key. If you are taking the key approach, `node-key` is required.

        console.log(this.$refs.tree.getCheckedKeys());
      },
      setCheckedNodes() {
        this.$refs.tree.setCheckedNodes([{

          id: 9,

        }]);
      },
      setCheckedKeys() {
        this.$refs.tree.setCheckedKeys([3]);
      },
      resetChecked() {

### Custom node content
The content of tree nodes can be customized, so you can add icons or buttons as you will

:::demo There are two ways to customize template for tree nodes: `render-content` and scoped slot. Use `render-content` to assign a render function that returns the content of tree nodes. See Vue's documentation for a detailed introduction of render functions. If you prefer scoped slot, you'll have access to `node` and `data` in the scope, standing for the TreeNode object and node data of the current node respectively. Note that the `render-content` demo can't run in jsfiddle because it doesn't support JSX syntax. In a real project, `render-content` will work if relevant dependencies are correctly configured.
```html
<div class="custom-tree-container">

### Draggable

You can drag and drop Tree nodes by adding a `draggable` attribute.
