3 Feb 202514 minutes to read

This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor TreeMap component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

• System requirements for Blazor components

• Visual Studio
• Visual Studio Code

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio

You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio 2022 via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion^® Blazor Extension.

You need to configure the corresponding Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web Application.

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor TreeMap NuGet in the App

To add Blazor TreeMap component in the app, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), search and install Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap.

If you utilize WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App need to be install Syncfusion^® Blazor components NuGet packages within the client project.

Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.

Package Manager

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap -Version 28.2.3

NOTE

Syncfusion^® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic for available NuGet packages list with component details.

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio Code

You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion^® Blazor Extension.

You need to configure the corresponding Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web Application.

For example, in a Blazor Web App with the Auto interactive render mode, use the following commands.

Blazor Web App

dotnet new blazor -o BlazorWebApp -int Auto
cd BlazorWebApp
cd BlazorWebApp.Client

NOTE

For more information on creating a Blazor Web App with various interactive modes and locations, refer to this link.

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor TreeMap NuGet in the App

If you utilize WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App need to be install Syncfusion^® Blazor components NuGet packages within the client project.

• Press Ctrl+` to open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
• Ensure you’re in the project root directory where your .csproj file is located.
• Run the following command to install a Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap NuGet package and ensure all dependencies are installed.

Package Manager

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap -v 28.2.3
dotnet restore

NOTE

Syncfusion^® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic for available NuGet packages list with component details.

Register Syncfusion^® Blazor Service

Interactive Render Mode	Description
WebAssembly or Auto	Open ~/_Imports.razor file from the client project.
Server	Open ~/_import.razor file, which is located in the Components folder.

Import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap namespace.

~/_Imports.razor

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

Now, register the Syncfusion^® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor Web App.

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to WebAssembly or Auto, you need to register the Syncfusion^® Blazor service in both ~/Program.cs files of your Blazor Web App.

Server(~/_Program.cs)

...
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorComponents()
    .AddInteractiveServerComponents()
    .AddInteractiveWebAssemblyComponents();
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

var app = builder.Build();
....

Client(~/_Program.cs)

...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

await builder.Build().RunAsync();

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to Server, your project will contain a single ~/Program.cs file. So, you should register the Syncfusion^® Blazor Service only in that ~/Program.cs file.

~/_Program.cs

...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorComponents()
    .AddInteractiveServerComponents();
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

var app = builder.Build();
....

Add script resources

The script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the script reference at the end of the <body> in the ~/Components/App.razor file as shown below:

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

NOTE

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

Add Syncfusion^® Blazor TreeMap component

Add the Syncfusion^® Blazor TreeMap component in the ~Pages/.razor file. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at the top of the ~Pages/.razor component, as follows:

Interactivity location	RenderMode	Code
Per page/component	Auto	@rendermode InteractiveAuto
	WebAssembly	@rendermode InteractiveWebAssembly
	Server	@rendermode InteractiveServer
	None	—

NOTE

If an Interactivity Location is set to Global and the Render Mode is set to Auto or WebAssembly or Server, the render mode is configured in the App.razor file by default.

RAZOR

@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto

• 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.

RAZOR

<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 your 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.

RAZOR

<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.

RAZOR

<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 about the property value of the GrowthReport.

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”.

RAZOR

<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.

RAZOR

<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.
