The column template has options to display custom element instead of a field value in the column.

You can check this video to learn about how to use templates for column(based on conditions) and headers in Tree Grid.

Using condition template

You can render the template elements based on condition.

In the following code, checkbox is rendered based on Approved field value.

import { getObject } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, Inject, Page, TreeGridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import * as React from 'react';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';
function App() {
    const treegridTemplate = (props) => {
        if (getObject('approved', props)) {
            return (<div className="template_checkbox">
                     <input type="checkbox" defaultChecked/>
                 </div>);
        }
        else {
            return (<div className="template_checkbox">
                <input type="checkbox"/>
            </div>);
        }
    };
    return <TreeGridComponent dataSource={sampleData} treeColumnIndex={1} childMapping='subtasks' height='315'>
        <ColumnsDirective>
          <ColumnDirective field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'/>
          <ColumnDirective field='taskName' headerText='Task Name' width='180'/>
          <ColumnDirective headerText='approved' width='120' template={treegridTemplate} textAlign='Center'/>
          <ColumnDirective field='progress' headerText='Progress' width='80' textAlign='Right'/>
        </ColumnsDirective>
        <Inject services={[Page]}/>
    </TreeGridComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
import { getObject } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective,  Inject, Page, TreeGridComponent  } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-treegrid';
import * as React from 'react';
import { sampleData } from './datasource';

function App() {
    const treegridTemplate = (props: object) => {
        if(getObject('approved', props)){
            return (<div className="template_checkbox">
                     <input type="checkbox" defaultChecked/>
                 </div>);
        } else {
            return (<div className="template_checkbox">
                <input type="checkbox"/>
            </div>);
        }
    }
    return <TreeGridComponent dataSource={sampleData} treeColumnIndex={1} childMapping='subtasks' height='315'>
        <ColumnsDirective>
          <ColumnDirective field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' width='90' textAlign='Right'/>
          <ColumnDirective field='taskName' headerText='Task Name' width='180'/>
          <ColumnDirective headerText='approved' width='120' template={treegridTemplate} textAlign='Center' />
          <ColumnDirective field='progress' headerText='Progress' width='80' textAlign='Right' />
        </ColumnsDirective>
        <Inject services={[Page]}/>
    </TreeGridComponent>
};
