Angular ui-tree and accept callback for restricting nodes?

Question

I'm using : https://github.com/angular-ui-tree/angular-ui-tree

I want to accept:

1. Categories to root scope of ui-tree
2. apps to the apps of same categories.

My controller is (partial):

//Accept Categories at root scope and accept apps only inside same category

$scope.options = {

    accept: function(sourceNodeScope, destNodesScope, destIndex) {
        //todo check nodes and return
        alert('called');
        $log.debug("sourceNodeScope");
        $log.debug(sourceNodeScope);
        $log.debug("destNodesScope");
        $log.debug(destNodesScope);
        return false;
    },
    dropped: function(event) {

    },
    beforeDrop: function(event) {

    }

};

My HTML is:

    <div ng-controller="CpoTreeViewCtrl">

    <div>

<script type="text/ng-template" id="apps_renderer.html">
  <div ui-tree-handle>
    {{app.name}}
  </div>
</script>

<script type="text/ng-template" id="category_renderer.html">
  <div ui-tree-handle >
    {{category.name}}
  </div>
  <ol ui-tree-nodes ng-model="category.apps">
    <li ng-repeat="app in category.apps" ui-tree-node ng-include="'apps_renderer.html'">
    </li>
  </ol>
</script>

<div ui-tree="options">
  <ol ui-tree-nodes ng-model="treeData" id="tree-root">
    <li ng-repeat="category in treeData" ui-tree-node ng-include="'category_renderer.html'"></li>
  </ol>
</div>

</div>

</div>

I want to accept:

1. Categories to root scope of ui-tree
2. apps to the apps of same categories.

The accept callback is not getting fired. What's not right here?

Thanks!

If anyone is wondering how to restrict by groups, here's how I got it working. The docs leave a bit to be desired on how to do this.

here is the html markup

    <div ng-repeat="list in lists" >
    <div ui-tree="treeOptions" class="col-xs-6" >
        <ol ui-tree-nodes ng-model="list.categories" data-type="{{list.type}}">
            <li ng-repeat="item in list.categories" ui-tree-node data-type="{{item.type}}">
                <div ui-tree-handle class="tree-node">
                    <div class="tree-node-content">
                        {{item.name}}
                    </div>
                </div>
            </li>
        </ol>
    </div>
    <div class="clearfix" ng-if="::$index===1"></div>
</div>

for a sample item array such as

$scope.lists = [{
    "name": "Selected Charts",
    "type": "charts",
    "categories": [{
        "name": "222 docs",
        "type": "charts"
    }]
}, {
    "name": "sdf",
    "type": "tables",
    "categories": [{
        "name": "2222 docs",
        "type": "tables"
    }]
}];

then in tree options, define

$scope.treeOptions = {
       accept: function(sourceNodeScope, destNodesScope, destIndex) {
            var srctype = sourceNodeScope.$element.attr('data-type');
            var dsttype = destNodesScope.$element.attr('data-type');
            if(srctype===dsttype){
                return true;
            }else{
                return false;
            }
        }
    };

That will prevent non-matching types from dropping.
