jsTree - is_parent() returning wrong value












1















I'm requesting data from a remote server with json return in format :



[
{"id":"1", "parent": "#", "text" : "Parent1"},
{"id":"2", "parent": 1, "text" : "Child1"}
{"id":"3", "parent": 2, "text" : "Child12"}
{"id":"4", "parent": 1, "text" : "Child2"}
{"id":"5", "parent": 1, "text" : "Child3"}
{"id":"6", "parent": 4, "text" : "Child21"}
]


I would like to check if the selected node is a parent. I use this code:



$('#treeview').on("select_node.jstree", function (e, data) {
var isParent = data.instance.is_parent();
alert(isParent)
});


It always returns false even when I click on PARENT.



What am I missing here ?



UPDATE
This is how I get solved the issue. But I still wonder why the methods is_parent() and is_leaf() are not working



var isParent = (data.node.children.length > 0);
