Dynatree - How To Transform The json Coming From Server?

I'm looking for some help with dynatree plugin.

I need to transform the json coming from the server to make it dynatree compatible (I'm not allowed to do it on the server side),

This below apparently doesn't work: 

                    initAjax: { 
                            url: '/admin/tenant/jsontree', 
                            data: { 
                                    tenantId: 1 
                            }, 
                            success: function(data) { 
                                    // do modifications to the data returned from server 
                                   // and return formatted data 
                            } 
                    }

And I couldn't find a callback for it in the documentation. So my question is: is it possible to do that initial transformation with some callbacks or should I be looking for some other plugins?

Thank you in advance

Solution

  • Have a look at 'Loading custom formats' in the docs:

    http://wwwendt.de/tech/dynatree/doc/dynatree-doc.html

    basically you can pass the standard $.ajax() options to initAjax(), such as dataFilter. (There is also a - yet undocumented - postProcess callback option.)
