#What is Shadcn Tree View?

Shadcn Tree View is a free, open-source React component developed by Roman Sirokov to extend shadcn-ui, enabling developers to display hierarchical data in a collapsible tree structure. It’s designed for web developers building applications like file explorers, nested menus, or admin dashboards, particularly those using Next.js or React with shadcn-ui.

Built with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn-ui, it offers features like expand/collapse functionality, custom icons, drag-and-drop support, and action buttons. The component integrates seamlessly via CLI, making it ideal for shadcn-ui users who need a flexible, accessible tree view for hierarchical data.

#Features ⚡️

• Hierarchical Structure: Navigate multi-level nested data with expandable/collapsible nodes.

• Drag-and-Drop Support: Move items within the tree using draggable and droppable props.

• Custom Icons: Set default node/leaf icons or per-item icons (default, open, selected).

• Action Buttons: Add custom buttons or controls via the actions prop.

• Click Handlers: Support for per-item and tree-wide click events with onClick and onSelectChange.

• Accessibility: Inherits shadcn-ui’s WAI-ARIA compliance for keyboard navigation.

• CLI Integration: Install via CLI with a single command from the developer’s registry.
