Question 1

How do I add custom icons to nodes in sl-vue-tree?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'title' slot to customize node content. For example, conditionally render icons based on 'node.isLeaf' with Font Awesome or custom SVGs, as shown in the README examples with folder and file icons.

Question 2

sl-vue-tree vs vuejs-tree for Vue.js?

Accepted Answer

sl-vue-tree offers more granular control with its extensive API and slots, focusing on drag-and-drop and customization, while vuejs-tree might be simpler but less feature-rich. Choose sl-vue-tree for advanced interactions and vuejs-tree for basic tree rendering.

Question 3

Does sl-vue-tree work with Vue 3?

Accepted Answer

Not natively; the main repository supports Vue 2. For Vue 3, you need to use sl-vue-tree-next, a community fork, but it may have different features or stability, so check its documentation for updates.

Question 4

How to implement keyboard navigation in sl-vue-tree?

Accepted Answer

Utilize the 'getNextNode' and 'getPrevNode' methods provided in the API. Handle keydown events to traverse and select nodes, as demonstrated in the keyboard control demo linked in the README.

Question 5

Is sl-vue-tree accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention specific accessibility features. While it supports keyboard navigation, you may need to manually add ARIA attributes and roles for full WCAG compliance, which requires extra development effort.

Question 6

How to handle external drag and drop with sl-vue-tree?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'externaldrop' event to handle drops from outside the tree. The demo shows integration with external items, but you'll need to implement custom data handling and event listeners based on your application logic.
