Question

I’m using the jstree plugin, with an ajax call. At some point, I call

$("#tree").jstree("refresh");

in order to retrieve the new nodes that were created through an ajax call. This works well, with the exception that select_node.jstree gets triggered on the refresh. Is there a way to prevent select_node from being triggered on a tree refresh?

Answer 1

I ended up using setting a flag to true before refreshing, and in the select_node event trigger, only executing the logic if the flag is set to false, otherwise setting it back to false and doing nothing else:

refresh = true;
$("#tree").jstree("refresh");

[...]

$("#tree").jstree({...}).bind("select_node.jstree", function (e, data) {
    if (refresh) {
        refresh = false;
    } else {
       // do my thing
    }
 });
