• System requirements for Blazor components

Create a new Blazor App in Visual Studio Code

Create a Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion^® Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor WASM App Getting Started documentation.

Alternatively, create a WebAssembly application by using the following command in the integrated terminal (Ctrl+`).

Blazor WASM App

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Prerequisites

Install the latest version of .NET SDK. If the .NET SDK is already installed, determine the installed version by running the following command in a command prompt (Windows), terminal (macOS), or command shell (Linux).

.NET CLI

dotnet --version

Create a Blazor WebAssembly App using .NET CLI

Run the following command to create a new Blazor WebAssembly App in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux). For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor WASM App Getting Started documentation.

.NET CLI

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor packages

Install Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap NuGet package in your project using the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), or the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code (dotnet add package), or the .NET CLI.

Alternatively, run the following command in the Package Manager Console to achieve the same.

Package Manager

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap -Version 33.2.3

NOTE

All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.

Add import namespaces

After the package is installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap namespaces.

~/_Imports.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

Register Syncfusion^® Blazor service

Register the Syncfusion^® Blazor service in the Program.cs file of your Blazor WebAssembly App.

Program.cs

....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....

Add script resources

The script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include script reference in the ~/index.html file.

<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

NOTE

Check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in the Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion^® Blazor TreeMap component

Add the Syncfusion^® Blazor TreeMap component in the ~/Pages/Index.razor file.

• You can use the DataSource property to load the car sales details in the TreeMap component. Specify a field name from the data source in the WeightValuePath property to calculate the TreeMap item size.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

<SfTreeMap DataSource="GrowthReport"
            WeightValuePath="GDP"
            TValue="Country">
</SfTreeMap>

@code {
    public class Country
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public double GDP { get; set; }
    }
    public List<Country> GrowthReport = new List<Country> {
        new Country  {Name="United States", GDP=17946 },
        new Country  {Name="China", GDP=10866 },
        new Country  {Name="Japan", GDP=4123 },
        new Country  {Name="Germany", GDP=3355 },
        new Country  {Name="United Kingdom", GDP=2848 },
        new Country  {Name="France", GDP=2421 },
        new Country  {Name="India", GDP=2073 },
        new Country  {Name="Italy", GDP=1814 },
        new Country  {Name="Brazil", GDP=1774 },
        new Country  {Name="Canada", GDP=1550 }
    };
}

• Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion^® Blazor TreeMap component in the default web browser.

Adding labels in Blazor TreeMap items

Add label text to the leaf items in the TreeMap component by setting the field name from data source in the LabelPath property in the TreeMapLeafItemSettings, and it provides information to the user about the leaf items.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

<SfTreeMap DataSource="GrowthReport"
            WeightValuePath="GDP"
            TValue="Country">
    <TreeMapLeafItemSettings LabelPath="Name" Fill="lightgray"></TreeMapLeafItemSettings>
</SfTreeMap>

NOTE

Refer to the code block to know about the property value of the GrowthReport.

Adding title to Blazor TreeMap

Add a title using the Text property in the TreeMapTitleSettings to provide quick information to the user about the items rendered in the TreeMap.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

<SfTreeMap DataSource="GrowthReport"
            WeightValuePath="GDP"
            TValue="Country">
    <TreeMapTitleSettings Text="Top 10 countries by GDP Nominal - 2015"></TreeMapTitleSettings>
    <TreeMapLeafItemSettings LabelPath="Name" Fill="lightgray"></TreeMapLeafItemSettings>
</SfTreeMap>

NOTE

Refer to the code block to know the property value of the GrowthReport.

NOTE

Apply color mapping

The color mapping supports customization of item colors based on the underlying value received from the bound data source. Specify the field name from which the values have to be compared for the items in the RangeColorValuePath property in SfTreeMap. Also, specify range value and color in the TreeMapLeafColorMapping. Here, in this example, “Orange” is specified for the range “0 - 3000” and “Green” is specified for the range “3000 - 20000”.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

<SfTreeMap DataSource="GrowthReport"
            WeightValuePath="GDP"
            TValue="Country"
            RangeColorValuePath="GDP">
    <TreeMapTitleSettings Text="Top 10 countries by GDP Nominal - 2015"></TreeMapTitleSettings>
    <TreeMapLeafItemSettings LabelPath="Name" Fill="lightgray">
        <TreeMapLeafColorMappings>
            <TreeMapLeafColorMapping StartRange="0" EndRange="3000" Color="@(new string[] { "Orange" })"></TreeMapLeafColorMapping>
            <TreeMapLeafColorMapping StartRange="3000" EndRange="20000" Color="@(new string[] { "Green" })"></TreeMapLeafColorMapping>
        </TreeMapLeafColorMappings>
    </TreeMapLeafItemSettings>
</SfTreeMap>

NOTE

Refer to the code block to know about the property value of the GrowthReport.

Enable legend

Legend items are used to denote the color mapping categories and show the legend for the TreeMap by setting the Visible property to true in the TreeMapLegendSettings.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

<SfTreeMap DataSource="GrowthReport"
            WeightValuePath="GDP"
            TValue="Country"
            RangeColorValuePath="GDP">
    <TreeMapTitleSettings Text="Top 10 countries by GDP Nominal - 2015"></TreeMapTitleSettings>
    <TreeMapLeafItemSettings LabelPath="Name" Fill="lightgray">
        <TreeMapLeafColorMappings>
            <TreeMapLeafColorMapping StartRange="0" EndRange="3000" Color="@(new string[] { "Orange" })"></TreeMapLeafColorMapping>
            <TreeMapLeafColorMapping StartRange="3000" EndRange="20000" Color="@(new string[] { "Green" })"></TreeMapLeafColorMapping>
        </TreeMapLeafColorMappings>
    </TreeMapLeafItemSettings>
    <TreeMapLegendSettings Visible="true"></TreeMapLegendSettings>
</SfTreeMap>

NOTE

Refer to the code block to know about the property value of the GrowthReport.

Enable tooltip

When space constraints prevents from displaying information using data labels, the tooltip comes in handy. The tooltip can be enabled by setting the Visible property to true in the TreeMapTooltipSettings.

Index.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap

<SfTreeMap DataSource="GrowthReport"
            WeightValuePath="GDP"
            TValue="Country"
            RangeColorValuePath="GDP">
    <TreeMapTitleSettings Text="Top 10 countries by GDP Nominal - 2015"></TreeMapTitleSettings>
    <TreeMapLeafItemSettings LabelPath="Name" Fill="lightgray">
        <TreeMapLeafColorMappings>
            <TreeMapLeafColorMapping StartRange="0" EndRange="3000" Color="@(new string[] { "Orange" })"></TreeMapLeafColorMapping>
            <TreeMapLeafColorMapping StartRange="3000" EndRange="20000" Color="@(new string[] { "Green" })"></TreeMapLeafColorMapping>
        </TreeMapLeafColorMappings>
    </TreeMapLeafItemSettings>
    <TreeMapLegendSettings Visible="true"></TreeMapLegendSettings>
    <TreeMapTooltipSettings Visible="true"></TreeMapTooltipSettings>
</SfTreeMap>

NOTE

Refer to the code block to know about the property value of the GrowthReport.
