How to select a specific node programmatically?

Question

I have a jstree. I want to select the node which is bound to the object which has a location with id of 158. This works but seems stupid. What\'s the more idiomatic way of doing

Answer 1

I did it with:

$('.jstree').jstree(true).select_node('element id');

this code:

jQuery.each(produto.categorias, function(i, categoria) {
    $('#lista-categorias').jstree(true).select_node(categoria.dadoCategoria.id);
});
