json header

[burtondav]

I'm trying use jqtree using json data.

The json data input starts out with the table name like this:

    {
    locations: [
      {
        label: "Location 1",
        children: [

Instead of starting with first label.

Is there some way to get jqtree to accept this?

Thanks !!

It depends. Are you loading the data using the data-url option? Or are you using the data option?

data-url: jqTree does not support this; but you can load the data yourself using jquery.ajax

data: I believe you can do the following:

var location_data = {
  locations: [
    { label: 'Location1 '},
    { label: 'Etcetera' }
  ]
};

$('#tree1').tree({
  data: location_data['locations']
});

This is my jquery (coffeescript) code: $.getJSON "/locations/tree", (data) -> $("#tree1").tree data: data

I'm using jbuilder in Rails. I've changed my json output to now look like this - but, it doesn't work:

{ label: "1st Level", children: [ { label: "2nd Level", children: [

1) Does it need to start with a [ instead of { ???

2) Should I be using the data-url option? 3) I will try your suggestion - thanks!

1. Yes, your data should start with [
2. There is no need to use the data-url option.
