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);
});

Answer 2

I was able to simulate a click on a jstree node as an alternative way to select a node. The following code is what was used :

$(treeIdHandle + " li[id=" + nodeId + "] a").click();

Answer 3

i think u should write code to select node after jstree initialized, therefore use this code

 $('#jstree')
    .on('ready.jstree', function (e, data) {
       // do function after jstree initialized
      $('#jstree')
        .jstree(true)
        .select_node('nodeid');
    });

hope its work :)
