In the PoC that we sent with React Tree email <https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAFS4TJavz7yp2yOiKApV5w3rpaAH1N5ahDdB92UR28pAjK=4...@mail.gmail.com> we added a service that as a function called buildURL, that would map into the GenerateURLAdaptor, and this function will create the URL to retrieve the child nodes of a specific node. Once we have retrieved those child nodes from the backend api, we would simply add the new nodes as children in the tree.
