The post covers binding hierarchical DTOs directly to the component, enabling search/filtering with a single parameter, programmatically controlling expanded nodes, customizing node rendering with ItemTemplate (icons, availability dots, job titles), and displaying breadcrumb paths in the selected value via ValueTemplate. Common use cases include product catalogs, org charts, file systems, and permission models. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
