Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'state' of undefined Bootstrap-TreeView for checkNode Event

i am using Bootstrap-TreeView Plugin and i am getting following error, what i have done is that i have already rendered the tree view, now i wanna have something similar to `"selected=selected"' for all the nodes that i wanna show as checked.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'state' of undefined

Following is my code where i am trying to set the nodes by id

 var catgories_for_edit = {!! json_encode($product->categories) !!};

     $.each(catgories_for_edit,function(index,categoryObject){

            $categTreeView.treeview('checkNode', [categoryObject.id, { silent: true } ]);

        });

Json data:

// var catgories_for_edit returns following data   
 [{"id":21,"parent_id":null,"lft":17,"rgt":24,"depth":2,"name":"admin","created_at":"2016-12-29 21:42:25","updated_at":"2017-01-02 08:30:23"}]
