tree_model
Lazy-loading tree model for AYON UI Qt components.
LazyTreeModel
Bases: QAbstractItemModel
Qt model that lazily loads children via a callback.
Children are fetched on demand using Qt's canFetchMore/fetchMore protocol. The root level is loaded asynchronously on construction.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
fetch_children | Callable[[str | None], list[TreeNode]] | Callable that takes a parent node ID ( | required |
no_async | bool | When | False |
parent | QObject | None | Optional parent QObject. | None |
.. warning:: Async mode and expandAll(): Because root children are fetched asynchronously, calling view.expandAll() immediately after constructing the model will silently expand nothing — hasChildren() returns False until the first fetch completes. Connect to :attr:loading_changed and call expandAll() once it emits False::
model.loading_changed.connect(
lambda loading: view.expandAll() if not loading else None
)
Example::
def fetch(parent_id):
if parent_id is None:
return [TreeNode("root", "Root", has_children=True)]
return []
model = LazyTreeModel(fetch_children=fetch)
