How do I get the id of the selected node in jsTree?

Question

How can I get the id of the selected node in a jsTree?

function createNewNode() {
  alert(\'test\');
  var tree = $.tree.reference(\"#basic_html\");
  select         


        

Answer 1

Just use

var nodeId = $('#FaqTreeView').jstree().get_selected("id")[0].id;

where #FaqTreeView is the id of your div that contains the jstree.

Answer 2

These are all old answers for old versions. As of version 3.3.3 this will work to get all attributes of the selected node.

$('#jstree').jstree().get_selected(true)[0]

If you then want the id then add .id at the end. You can look at all the other attributes in web developer tools if you copy the above code.
