Nested lists/menu

Description

I would like to have a way to use recursive functions to create nested lists/menu

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

Do you have any examples of what you're after? Would you want this to be a widget?

I would like to use this vue nested tree, but it's needed to do "npm install -S vue-tree-dnd@latest" and then use "import VueTreeDnd from 'vue-tree-dnd'" on node-red template node. P

Thanks for the additional detail, was away last week (and yesterday) on vacation, hence the delay in responding. I have hesitation in including this as a core widget to Dashboard 2.0 due to the additional dependencies that would come with it.

We therefore have two options:

1. A standalone third-party widget - https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/contributing/widgets/third-party.html
   • This would be the best option, as it makes it easily accessible to others, handles the dependencies, etc.
2. Work out a way to get the dependency available in the client-side javascript that VueJS runs. @Steve-Mcl any quick thoughts on how we could do this? I'd covered external dependencies in the documentation but this would be a Vue component, which consequently, VueJS would need to parse and render at runtime, so I'm not sure the example with BabylonJS applies here.

@Steve-Mcl any thoughts about this ?

I think this is an ideal candidate for a 3rd part contrib node as @joepavitt states in option 1.

As for my thoughts on Option 2: This should definitely be a long term goal (to be able to support external vue components) but it is a lot harder achieve and not something I have time to look into right now. Of course if this issue ends up on my plate, i will look at implementation.

Also open to contributions from the community.
