By default, this will display in the content section.

ExampleTree.cs
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Community.SimpleTrees.Models;


namespace Umbraco.Community.SimpleTrees.TestSite.Trees;


public class MyTree : SimpleTree
{
    public override Task<PagedModel<ISimpleTreeItem>> GetTreeRootAsync(int skip, int take, bool foldersOnly)
    {
        var data = new List<ISimpleTreeItem>
        {
            CreateRootItem("James", Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "icon-user"),
            CreateRootItem("Tim", Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "icon-user"),
        };


        return Task.FromResult(new PagedModel<ISimpleTreeItem>(data.Count, data));
    }


    public override Task<PagedModel<ISimpleTreeItem>> GetTreeChildrenAsync(string entityType, string parentUnique, int skip, int take, bool foldersOnly) => Task.FromResult(EmptyResult());


    public override string Name => "My Tree";
}

Create Views

  • Your views must go in /Views/Trees
  • You views must be the name of your tree entities
    • For example: MyTree.cs => /Views/Trees/MyItem.cshtml & /Views/Trees/MyRoot.cshtml
Views/Trees/MyItem.cshtml
@inherits Umbraco.Community.SimpleTrees.Web.SimpleTreeViewPage


<uui-box headline="This is a custom tree item">
  <div>
    <table>
      <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Entity Type</th>
        <th>Unique</th>
      </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>@Model.EntityType</td>
        <td>@Model.Unique</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</uui-box>
