when using 'children' but not 'parent' property in json model for jstree pushing to tree model doesn't update the jstree view

[maksfastovets]

Hi!

When I use json data for jsTree with children but without parent, like this:

{
  id          : "string" // will be autogenerated if omitted
  text        : "string" // node text
  icon        : "string" // string for custom
  state       : {
    opened    : boolean  // is the node open
    disabled  : boolean  // is the node disabled
    selected  : boolean  // is the node selected
  },
  children    : []  // array of strings or objects
  li_attr     : {}  // attributes for the generated LI node
  a_attr      : {}  // attributes for the generated A node
} // note there is no parent property in this json

-- then pushing to ngJsTree's model doesn't rerender jsTree view. Incrementing version will do the trick, but I don't want to rerender whole tree if only one node is added.

I noticed that you use following code to add to the jsTree's model newly pushed node:

...
var parent = scope.tree.jstree(true).get_node(node.parent);
var res = scope.tree.jstree(true).create_node(parent, node, 'inside',function() {
...

-- so if node doesn't have parent property (as in my case) node wont' be added/

Using both children and parent at the same time is impossible (https://www.jstree.com/docs/json/) as jstree prefers parent and ignores children as far as I understand.

Thanks!
And one more thing. Your method:

var getTokens = function () {
    var result = [], token, el;
    if (arraySource) {
        var array = angular.isFunction(arraySource) ? arraySource() : arraySource;
        for (var i = 0, n = array.length; i < n; i++) {
            el = array[i];
            token = tokenFn(el);
            map[token] = el;
            result.push(token);
        }
    }
    return result;
};

which is used to watch model changes watches only first-level elements (doesn't take 'children' property into account).

Yes, because in the other syntax (the parent one), all are first level.
From what i saw, there is not create_node function in the jsTree that doesn't require parent node. Looks like to support this data format i will need to change many things, not sure i will have time soon. Sorry, you are welcome to fork and pr :)

ok, got it, thanks for your quick reply :)
