Here’s an example of how to add Blazor TreeMap component in the application using the following command in the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux and macOS) to install a Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap NuGet package. See Install and manage packages using the dotnet CLI topics for more details.

If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App, install Syncfusion® Blazor component NuGet packages in the client project.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap --version 32.1.19
dotnet restore

NOTE

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

Add Import Namespaces

Open the ~/_Imports.razor file from the client project and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.TreeMap namespaces.

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

Register Syncfusion® Blazor Service

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, register the Syncfusion® Blazor service in the ~/Program.cs files of the main server project and associated .Client project.

...
...
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();
....
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

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

await builder.Build().RunAsync();

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 to a Razor page located under the Pages folder (e.g., Pages/Home.razor) in either the Server or Client project. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at top of the component, as follows:

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

NOTE

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

@* 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.
<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.

<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.

<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

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”.

<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.

<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.

<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>
