In this blog, I will write how to create treeview structure in laravel application. You have need to make treeview structure for category or subcategory.

I simply create categories table and manage end level of child or parent child category with treeview structure in laravel. I use jquery for make tree view layout and child relationship with category model for hierarchical data. I also add form for create new category in tree view.

You can follow step by step for crate treeview structure as bellow.

Step 1 : Install laravel Fresh App


In this step, You can install laravel fresh app using bellow command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2 : Create Model and Table

In this step, we have create model and table migration, So bellow command used to create table migration.

php artisan make:migration create_category_table

After this You will find one file in following path "database/migration" and you have to put bellow code.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateCategoryTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

*

* @return void

*/

public function up()

{

Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->integer('parent_id');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

*

* @return void

*/

public function down()

{

Schema::drop("categories");

}

}

Then after, Simply run bellow command

php artisan migrate

After create "categories" table you should create Category model for categories.

app/Category.php

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Category extends Model

{

public $fillable = ['title','parent_id'];

/**

* Get the index name for the model.

*

* @return string

*/

public function childs() {

return $this->hasMany('App\Category','parent_id','id') ;

}

}

Step 3 : Create Route

In this step you can create route for display view and ajax method and put bellow code.

routes/web.php

Route::get('category-tree-view',['uses'=>'CategoryController@manageCategory']);

Route::post('add-category',['as'=>'add.category','uses'=>'CategoryController@addCategory']);

Step 4 : Create Controller

In this step we have to create new controller as CategoryController and put bellow code.

app/Http/Controllers/CategoryController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;

use App\Category;

class CategoryController extends Controller

{

/**

* Show the application dashboard.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function manageCategory()

{

$categories = Category::where('parent_id', '=', 0)->get();

$allCategories = Category::pluck('title','id')->all();

return view('categoryTreeview',compact('categories','allCategories'));

}

/**

* Show the application dashboard.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function addCategory(Request $request)

{

$this->validate($request, [

'title' => 'required',

]);

$input = $request->all();

$input['parent_id'] = empty($input['parent_id']) ? 0 : $input['parent_id'];

Category::create($input);

return back()->with('success', 'New Category added successfully.');

}

}

Step 5 : Create View File

In this step You can create laravel blade file for display view and put bellow code.

we have to create total two blade file as listed bellow:

1. categoryTreeview.blade.php

2. manageChild.blade.php

resources/views/categoryTreeview.blade.php

{!! Form::open(['route'=>'add.category']) !!}

@if ($message = Session::get('success'))

<div class="alert alert-success alert-block">

<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

</div>

@endif

<div class="form-group {{ $errors->has('title') ? 'has-error' : '' }}">

{!! Form::label('Title:') !!}

{!! Form::text('title', old('title'), ['class'=>'form-control', 'placeholder'=>'Enter Title']) !!}

<span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('title') }}</span>

</div>

<div class="form-group {{ $errors->has('parent_id') ? 'has-error' : '' }}">

{!! Form::label('Category:') !!}

{!! Form::select('parent_id',$allCategories, old('parent_id'), ['class'=>'form-control', 'placeholder'=>'Select Category']) !!}

<li>

{{ $child->title }}

@if(count($child->childs))

@include('manageChild',['childs' => $child->childs])

@endif

</li>

@endforeach

</ul>

Step 6 : Add CSS and JS File

In this step you can add css and js file for treeview design. I will simply use bootsnip css and js code.

public/css/treeview.css

.tree, .tree ul {

margin:0;

padding:0;

list-style:none

}

.tree ul {

margin-left:1em;

position:relative

}

.tree ul ul {

margin-left:.5em

}

.tree ul:before {

content:"";

display:block;

width:0;

position:absolute;

top:0;

bottom:0;

left:0;

border-left:1px solid

}

.tree li {

margin:0;

padding:0 1em;

line-height:2em;

color:#369;

font-weight:700;

position:relative

}

.tree ul li:before {

content:"";

display:block;

width:10px;

height:0;

border-top:1px solid;

margin-top:-1px;

position:absolute;

top:1em;

left:0

}

.tree ul li:last-child:before {

background:#fff;

height:auto;

top:1em;

bottom:0

}

.indicator {

margin-right:5px;

}

.tree li a {

text-decoration: none;

color:#369;

}

.tree li button, .tree li button:active, .tree li button:focus {

text-decoration: none;

color:#369;

border:none;

background:transparent;

margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;

padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;

outline: 0;

}

public/css/treeview.js

$.fn.extend({

treed: function (o) {

var openedClass = 'glyphicon-minus-sign';

var closedClass = 'glyphicon-plus-sign';

if (typeof o != 'undefined'){

if (typeof o.openedClass != 'undefined'){

openedClass = o.openedClass;

}

if (typeof o.closedClass != 'undefined'){

closedClass = o.closedClass;

}

};

/* initialize each of the top levels */

var tree = $(this);

tree.addClass("tree");

tree.find('li').has("ul").each(function () {

var branch = $(this);

branch.prepend("");

branch.addClass('branch');

branch.on('click', function (e) {

if (this == e.target) {

var icon = $(this).children('i:first');

icon.toggleClass(openedClass + " " + closedClass);

$(this).children().children().toggle();

}

})

branch.children().children().toggle();

});

/* fire event from the dynamically added icon */

tree.find('.branch .indicator').each(function(){

$(this).on('click', function () {

$(this).closest('li').click();

});

});

/* fire event to open branch if the li contains an anchor instead of text */

tree.find('.branch>a').each(function () {

$(this).on('click', function (e) {

$(this).closest('li').click();

e.preventDefault();

});

});

/* fire event to open branch if the li contains a button instead of text */

tree.find('.branch>button').each(function () {

$(this).on('click', function (e) {

$(this).closest('li').click();

e.preventDefault();

});

});

}

});

/* Initialization of treeviews */

$('#tree1').treed();

Ok, now you are ready to run and check your application.
