How can I rename a jsTree node

Question

I am not talking about $(\"#demo1\").jstree(\"rename\",node) which makes the node editable for the user. I am talking about the name being changed within the code.

Answer 1

You should turn on the switch to allow the rename operation, such as:

$('#container').jstree({
    'core' : {
        'check_callback' : function (operation, node, node_parent, node_position, more) {
            // operation can be 'create_node', 'rename_node', 'delete_node', 'move_node' or 'copy_node'
            // in case of 'rename_node' node_position is filled with the new node name
            return operation === 'rename_node' ? true : false;
        }

});
