Dynamic Tree View Plugin With jQuery And Bootstrap

A jQuery treeview plugin that helps you render a dynamic, checkable, filterable, collapsible, vertical hierarchical tree from a JSON schema. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

How to use it:

1. Make sure you first have jQuery library and Twitter Bootstrap's stylesheet are loaded in the document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>

2. Load the jQuery Bootstrap tree view plugin's files in the document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap-treeview.css">
<script src="bootstrap-treeview.js"></script>

3. Create a placeholder element for the tree view.

<div id="default-tree"></div>

4. The required JSON structure to hold your hierarchical data.

var myTree = [
    {
      text: "Item 1",
      nodes: [
        {
          text: "Item 1-1",
          nodes: [
            {
              text: "Item 1-1-1"
            },
            {
              text: "Item 1-1-2"
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          text: "Item 1-2"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      text: "Item 2"
    },
    {
      text: "Item 3"
    }
    ...
];
