Properties

tree(Array)

A tree to represent the folder structure.
Here is the example data you could pass into the tree props.

[
	{

Subcomponent rendered above the tree.

headerContent is passed in to InfinityMenu. It is rendered above the tree subcomponent.

headerProps(object)

Additional props for headerContent.

  • headerProps is an optional prop of InfinityMenu. The props in this object are passed as props to a headerContent component. This is useful when extending InfinityMenu.

Passing the following into InfinityMenu as the headerProps prop sets the title prop on the headerContent component.

{
	title: "my great title"
}

customComponentMappings (object)

A mapping that let user to pass in customComponent as string.

var myComponentMappings = {
    "MyComponent1": MyComponent1,
    "MyComponent2": MyComponent2
}

customComponent(React Component)

A custom React component the user can pass in.

  • As the customComponent at the node level, you will receive props key, onClick, name, isOpen, data and isSearching.

  • As the customComponent at the leaf level, you will receive props key, onMouseDown, onMouseUp, onClick, name, icon and data.

    Example of customComponent

    class Node extends React.Component {
        render() {
            return (
                <div key={this.props.key} onClick={this.props.onClick}>
                    <label>{this.props.name}</label>
                </div>
            );
        }
    }
    

filter(function)[node, searchInput]

By default, when the menu is in searching mode, it will filter all nodes by whether their name is equal to the current searchInput. If the node name is equal to the searchInput, then the node will pass the filter and be displayed in tree (if it fails the filter, it will not be displayed in the tree).

This allows the user to specify their own filtering criteria. When the menu is in search mode, every node will be run against the filter() function:

  • If the function returns true, the node will pass the filter, and be displayed in the tree.
  • If the function returns false, the node will fail the filter, and will not be displayed in the tree.

The function takes the following arguments:

  • node (object) is the folder(node) the user clicked on. Includes the following properties: id, name, isOpen and children.
  • searchInput (string) The current search term

emptyTreeComponent (React Component)

If the tree prop is an empty array or if the menu is in searching mode and no nodes match the filter, then the tree is considered "empty".

By default, nothing will be displayed in an empty tree.

However, if this prop is passed in, the specified component will be rendered when the tree is empty.

This allows you have a very customized "empty tree" message/image.

By default, this is an empty object.
