SharePoint 2010 Library Tree View

Question

What is the best way to create a SharePoint tree view web part for a document library?

Answer 1

It is also possible to get the treeview with clientsidecode

Something like this

var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle(listTitle);
context.load(list,'Include(RootFolder)');
context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
    createRoot(list);
},
function (sender, args) {
     console.log('error');
});   

then you have to make a createRoot function that inserts the html from the library tree when the user clicks. That depends that the tree is not expanded by default.

Answer 2

Elena,

If you are looking for Out of the box way, you can use Grouping to achieve some level of Tree view..

But if you want folder wise structure as a complete Tree-view till n-levels, there is no Out of the box feature available. You will need to create a custom Web Part, already shown here:

Document Library Tree View Web Part for SharePoint

Or

Add a Treeview to a Document LIbrary using SPTreeView and SPHierarchicalDataSource
