Hierarchical checkboxes

jQuery for hierarchical checkboxes

DEMO

CodeSandbox

USAGE:

Include hierarchical-checkboxes.js and

Include hierarchical-checkboxes.css

All the HTML elements with class hierarchy-checkboxes will be parsed into the hierarchical checkboxes. You will need to add an identifier in rel attribute to distinguish between different sets of checkboxes.

Template Construction: Use ROOT template and then nest as many NODE templates to create your hierarchy

Root:

<div class="hierarchy-checkboxes" rel="test">
  <input class="hierarchy-root-checkbox" type="checkbox">
  <label class="hierarchy-root-label">Root</label>
  <div class="hierarchy-root-child hierarchy-node">
   {{ NODE TEMPLATE HERE }}
  </div>
</div>

Node:

<div class="hierarchy-node [leaf]">
  <input class="hierarchy-checkbox" type="checkbox">
  <label class="hierarchy-label">[Title]</label>
  {{ NODE TEMPLATE HERE }}
</div>

Basic Example Template

<div class="hierarchy-checkboxes" rel="test">
  <input class="hierarchy-root-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
  <label class="hierarchy-root-label">Root</label>
  <div class="hierarchy-root-child hierarchy-node">
    <div class="hierarchy-node leaf">
      <input class="hierarchy-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
      <label class="hierarchy-label">Markets</label>
      <div class="hierarchy-node leaf">
        <input class="hierarchy-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
        <label class="hierarchy-label">Markets</label>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="hierarchy-node leaf">
      <input class="hierarchy-checkbox" type="checkbox" />
      <label class="hierarchy-label">Markets</label>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

API:

Events:

1. checkboxesUpdate:

Triggers whenever the check/uncheck tasks complete within the hierarchical checkboxes. This can be useful especially when you need to do some task only after all the states of the checkboxes are updated.

Example:

jQuery(".hierarchy-checkboxes[rel=IDENTIFIER]").on(
  "checkboxesUpdate",
  function () {
    console.log("Changed!");
  }
);
