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 use jstree 3.0.8. don't use 'state'

'plugins' : ['dnd','sort','types','contextmenu','wholerow','ui']

and server offer the json, the selected node has

"state":{"selected":true,"opened":true}
