About
About Shadcn Tree View
This versatile component enables developers to navigate complex hierarchical data structures through expand, collapse, and select operations, customize icons for different item states (default, open, selected), add action buttons to individual tree items, implement click handlers for both individual items and the entire tree, support drag-and-drop reordering, and disable specific items when needed. Based on community implementations by WangLarry and bytechase while following shadcn/ui design principles, the component provides modular, configurable tree views with a roadmap including programmatic item control, striped/non-striped variants, and custom item renderers.
Perfect for file system browsers, organizational hierarchies, category navigation, nested menu systems, or any application requiring visual representation of hierarchical relationships with user interaction. Installable via 'npx shadcn add' from the author's registry, this component fills a gap in the shadcn/ui ecosystem by providing tree view functionality that many applications need but few component libraries include, making it valuable for developers building admin panels, content management systems, or any interface where hierarchical data visualization and navigation are essential to user workflows and information architecture understanding.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Shadcn Tree View.
Shadcn Tree View is a React component built with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, designed for creating hierarchical tree views with nested, expandable, and collapsible data lists that support custom icons, action buttons, drag-and-drop functionality, and disabled states. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Shadcn Tree View is made by Mrlightful, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Mrlightful has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Shadcn Tree View with React and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Shadcn Tree View page embeds its live demo from mrlightful.com/ui/tree-view, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Shadcn Tree View listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/mrlightful/shadcn-tree-view), then follow the README. The Shadcn Tree View page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Shadcn Tree View repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Shadcn Tree View is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Follow the deployment notes in the Shadcn Tree View README: the right host depends on its framework and any services it needs. The page's categories show what it is built for.
The Shadcn Tree View listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/mrlightful/shadcn-tree-view), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Shadcn Tree View's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Shadcn Tree View's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Shadcn Tree View is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Mrlightful supports Shadcn Tree View, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Shadcn Tree View is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Shadcn Tree View uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Shadcn Tree View for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 171 other open source React templates like Shadcn Tree View, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/react.
Mrlightful has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
