Abstract key, title and children paths

[guilhermeaiolfi]

Hi,

it could be useful for people that can't change what it comes from the server and want to avoid a extra step to create the data array.

I could try to do that if there is any interest.

e.g.

{ 
  keyPath: "id",
  titlePath: "label",
  childrenPath: "nodes"
}

nodeLoadChildren call the postProcess callback, which allows to modify the ajax response before applying it.
This is a very generic approach. Do you see any problems with this, or have suggestions to improve this?

[guilhermeaiolfi]

No, postProcessseems good enough. Thanks.

But it's not called for root nodes. So it's very inconsistent and doesn't solve the problem. Any other idea?

I'll be reopening this because I read all the docs and couldn't find a way of doing what I think should be pretty trivial.

postProcess is called for all ajax responses, including tree init (otherwise please submit a bug).

I read all the docs and couldn't find a way...

what is missing here?:

The postProcess is well documented. But the ability to change the key path is not. But only because it didn't work as expected.

Please give more details and re-open if you are still facing a problem.
