Simple Tree View - Focus

Learn how to focus Tree View items.

Focus a specific item

You can use the the apiRef.focusItem method to focus a specific item. This methods receives two parameters: event and itemId.

To use the apiRef object, you need to initialize it using the useTreeViewApiRef hook as follows:

const apiRef = useTreeViewApiRef();

return <SimpleTreeView apiRef={apiRef}>{children}</SimpleTreeView>;

apiRef will be undefined during the first render and will then contain methods allowing you to imperatively interact with the Tree View.
