I want to represent a tree-structure using Jstree. I am facing the problem that the server does not returns the data in a jstree-compliant format - it's just ordinary Json.
One solution that I implemented is to use the json_data.ajax.success
callback to modify the data in order to bring it to the required format. However, this function does not get context information - therefore, I don't know what node is being loaded and don't know how I have to transform the received data.
I have seen that there is a types
plugin that allows different behaviour between nodes - for example, displaying a corresponding icon. Is it possible to use this plugin to add different ajax-success-handlers for each node type? If not, what other solutions are there?
$("#tree").jstree({
"plugins": ["json_data", "themes", "types"],
"json_data": {
"ajax": {
"url": function (n) { // want to make this type-dependent.
if (n === -1) {
return "...";
} else if ( ... ) {
return "...";
}
},
"success": function (data) { // want to make this type-dependent
var result = [];
$.each(data, function (index, value) {
"data": "......",
"attr": {
"id": ".................",
"rel": "..............."
}
});
return result;
}
}
}
}
