Either childrenField or parentField has to be set - childrenField takes precedence. Keywords:

dataProvider
Allows to define a custom data provider class for usecases where special data preparation is necessary. By default \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Tree\TableConfiguration\DatabaseTreeDataProvider is used.
childrenField (string)
Field name of the foreign_table that references the uid of the child records.
parentField (string)
Field name of the foreign_table that references the uid of the parent record
startingPoints (string, comma separated values)

allows to set multiple records as roots for tree records.

The setting takes a CSV value, e.g. 2,3,4711, which takes records of the pids 2, 3 and 4711 into account and creates a tree of these records.

Additionally, each value used in startingPoints may be fed from a site configuration by using the ###SITE:### syntax.

This property can also be set by page TSconfig, see config.treeConfig

Example:

# Site config
base: /
rootPageId: 1
categories:
   root: 123

// Example TCA config
'config' => [
    'treeConfig' => [
        'startingPoints' => '1,2,###SITE:categories.root###',
    ],

appearance (array, optional)
showHeader (boolean)
Whether to show the header of the tree that contains a field to filter the records and allows to expand or collapse all nodes
expandAll (boolean)
Whether to show the tree with all nodes expanded
maxLevels (integer)
The maximal amount of levels to be rendered (can be used to stop possible recursions)
nonSelectableLevels (list, default "0")
Comma-separated list of levels that will not be selectable, by default the root node (which is "0") cannot be selected
