Is there a way to rename/update node item from custom data provider?

[Nishchit14]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have created a collection of Messages shown in the below screenshot. Where the item node holds Title and Sub Title. The functionality is like if Someone will change the title/subtitle from the team then collaboratively it would reflect in every team member's dashboard in real-time.

Here are some public methods I have added in the TreeDataProvider.ts 1. this.update : This method is not working, the UI has no change

2. this.add : this method works, add a new item in the UI tree

3. this.delete : this method works, delete a item in the UI tree

   
   /**
   * this.update({}).  THIS METHOD IS NOT WORKING.
   * The `Title` or `SubTitle` are not being updated upon this method call in UI.
   **/
   public update(item: TItem) {
   this.items = this.items.map((itm: TItem) => {
     if (itm.id == item.id) {
       return  {
         ...itm,
         title: item.title,
         subTitle: item.subTitle
       };
     }
     return itm;
   });
   this.emitter.emit(ETreeEventTypes.itemChanged, ['root', item.parentId]);
   }
   
   // this.add({...item}).  THIS METHOD WORKS PERFECTLY.
   public add(item: TItem) {
   this.items.push(item);
    this.emitter.emit(ETreeEventTypes.itemChanged, ['root', item.parentId]);
   }

// this.delete(id). THIS METHOD WORKS PERFECTLY. public delete(id: TId) { const item = this.items.find((i) => i.id == id); if (!item) return; this.items = this.items.filter((i) => i.id != id); this.emitter.emit(ETreeEventTypes.itemChanged, ['root', item.parentId]); }

Is there any other way to update specific tree node/item data programmatically from the data provider instance? Or any way to refresh/reload the tree by initializing a new set of data from the data provider instance?

thanks in advance!!

In the update call, can you try to change the emit call to

this.emitter.emit(ETreeEventTypes.itemChanged, ['root', item.id]);

So emitting an update for the item that is changed, not its parent. Also I'm not sure you need to notify RCT of the update of the root item.

It works now, I misunderstood the itemChanged event. Thank you @lukasbach
