jstree types not applying correctly

I'm attempting to theme a jstree a bit, making the icons fit my needs more appropriately. However, I can't seem to get the types plugin working fully.

Creating the tree:

// Create JSTree
$('#listbox').jstree({
    "types": {
        "#": {
            "valid_children": ["floor", "default"],
        },
        "default": {
            "valid_children": ["default", "floor"],
            "icon": "/WACH%20Graphics/images/building.png"
        },
        "floor": {
            "icon": "/WACH%20Graphics/images/floor.png"
        }
    },
    "plugins": ["search", "wholerow", "types"]
});

My list is actually generated dynamically. But, the structure of the unordered list is similar to below:

<ul>
   <li><a href="building.html">Building 1</a>
      <ul>
          <li rel="floor"><a href="floor.html">Floor1</a></li>
          <li rel="floor"><a href="floor.html">Floor1</a></li>
          <li rel="floor"><a href="floor.html">Floor1</a></li>
      </ul>
   </li>
</ul>

My default icon gets picked up. But my icon for the "floor" type never gets picked up. Instead, everything has the default icon.

This is jstree 3.0.0.

The answer as given by the JSTree developer on his Github:

The type is not read off of the rel attribute. Try using 

<li data-jstree='{ "type" : "floor" }'...

in your markup (and keep the single quotes outside, and the double quotes - inside for the data-jstree attribute).

See: https://github.com/vakata/jstree/issues/497

In my case I was just using the types plugin to overwrite the icon. Turns out this can be done by simply giving the list item an data-jstree property with an icon property set.

<li data-jstree='{ "icon" : "icon.png" }'></li>

Hope someone finds this useful in the future :)
