Treegrid in 18.2

[apollisa]

Hello,

Since 18.2, FlatTreeControl, MatTreeFlatDataSource and MatTreeFlattener are deprecated, and I was relying on them to create a treegrid, as suggested by @andrewseguin in #15187 (comment):

You should be able to do this using the table currently, and to make it easier you can use the TreeControl to help you traverse your data and manage expansion state

So I was wondering if there was a new recommended way of creating a treegrid, or if I needed to reimplement those deprecated classes. 🤔

Thanks for your help!

Tagging along here for the more general use case of using the programmatic implementation of the tree without actually using the CdkTree/MatTree components. Do I now have to use a CdkTree component just for the tree "behavior"? Or is there anything else I can do (besides just building my own)?

same problem for me. I would be grateful if you could indicate a valid alternative to those classes to implement a tree table. I was very surprised to see them deprecated in the new version

I am facing the same issue.

Please comment If someone has any alternate approach for the deprecated classes.

Hi guys,
I have the same issue as you...any news on some alternative to fix this deprecation?

Same here. I thought I could already fix it to be safe in the future. However, it's not something you can simply do within a few minutes.
Fun Fact: Take a look at the examples of the newly released Angular 19. They still use the deprecated classes themselves for flat nodes. How am I supposed to fix this in time if I don't even get an example of how I can achieve that? They might change the examples but as of now ... they use the deprecated classes for sure.
