I am looking for component for tree representation of table field.

What I am looking for is table with columns but with option with collapsing of cell like tree.

There is no built in Tree Table in Scout, but it is possible to make misuse the Table to make it look like a tree table. I just proposed an implementation in this Gist.

AbstractTreeTable is a table template that adds 2 columns in the table:

• KeyColumn: a primary key for the table
• ParentKeyColumn: the key of the parent row or null if the row is at the tree root.

AbstractTreeTable handles the collapsed state or not of each node row. It also decorates the first column (indentation and [+] &[-] marker on the nodes). It handle the row action (execRowAction(..)).

If you use this in a table page, it is recommended to use a TablePageData and not Object[][]. If you use this in a table fields, it only works if the table field is using a bean based table data.

My prototype could be improved:

• No sort support (for one column, it is possible to define how the row needs to be sorted: if they have different parent -> comparison of the 2 parent values; if they have the same parent -> cell value).
• I did not test how the content behaves if you try to apply filter on it (could also be improved).
• Performance with a lot of rows needs to be checked.
• execMethods should not be used at template level

Examples:

@Order(10.0)
@FormData(value = AbstractTableFieldBeanData.class, sdkCommand = SdkCommand.USE, defaultSubtypeSdkCommand = DefaultSubtypeSdkCommand.CREATE)
public class CarsTableField extends AbstractTableField<CarsTableField.Table> {

  @Override
  protected int getConfiguredGridH() {
    return 8;
  }

  @Override
  protected int getConfiguredGridW() {
    return 2;
  }

  @Override
  protected String getConfiguredLabel() {
    return TEXTS.get("Cars");
  }

  @Order(10.0)
  public class Table extends AbstractTreeTable {

    /**
     * @return the PriceFromColumn
     */
    public PriceFromColumn getPriceFromColumn() {
      return getColumnSet().getColumnByClass(PriceFromColumn.class);
    }

    /**
     * @return the NameColumn
     */
    public NameColumn getNameColumn() {
      return getColumnSet().getColumnByClass(NameColumn.class);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean execIsNode(ITableRow row) {
      return getParentKeyColumn().getValue(row) == null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void execDecorateRow(ITableRow row) throws ProcessingException {
      if (execIsNode(row)) {
        row.setFont(FontSpec.parse("BOLD"));
      }
    }

    @Override
    public void importFromTableBeanData(AbstractTableFieldBeanData source) throws ProcessingException {
      super.importFromTableBeanData(source);

      toggleExpandedState(getRows());
    }

Of course, this is only a workaround for the real problem: scout is missing a representation for tree-tables at model level. If there was something like that, it would be possible to use real tree table widgets in the different UIs.
