tree view with checkbox

[attran1]

Hello,

I am new to Rust and I have interest using your egui_json_tree. I have one request but I could not find a discussion forum. So I have to file as an issue to be able to reach to some developers.

Do you have an example code where I can have checkbox for each tree to allow my users to select items from the tree?

Thank you, Anthony

I have followed the Json Editor example and added ui.small_button("✅").clicked(). It works fine but I prefer to have the checkbox show at the beginning of the string.

Hi, the ordering of the button/checkbox comes down to the order in which you render elements within the on_render render hook. The default layout within the hook is horizontal, left to right. See below for a minimal example:

JsonTree::new("id", &value)
    .on_render(|ui, ctx| {
        if let RenderContext::BaseValue(_) = ctx {
            // Render a button before rendering a base value (string, bool, number, null).
            ui.small_button("✅");
            ui.add_space(5.0);
        }
        // Render the JSON as normal.
        ctx.render_default(ui);
    })
    .show(ui);

The RenderBaseValueContext struct that is matched in this example contains information about the base value being rendered. So you could conditionally render a UI element for strings only, if you so wished. See here for more info on the RenderContext handles.

Hope this helps!
