I have below an array
{
"sec": "11",
"details": [
{
"id": "1",
"user": "Me1"
},
{
"id": "2",
"uesr": "Me2"
},
{
"id": "3",
"user": "Me3"
}
{
"id": "4",
"user": "Me4",
parentID:"2"
},
{
"id": "5",
"uesr": "Me5"
},
{
"id": "6",
"user": "Me6",
parentID:"2"
}
{
"id": "7",
"user": "Me7"
},
{
"id": "8",
"uesr": "Me8",
parentID:"7"
},
{
"id": "9",
"user": "Me9",
parentID:"7"
}
],
"isDisplay": "true"
}
and output should be like below
{
"sec":"11",
"details":[
{
"id":"1",
"user":"Me1"
},
{
"id":"2",
"uesr":"Me2",
"childs":[
{
"id":"4",
"user":"Me4",
"parentID":"2"
},
{
"id":"6",
"user":"Me6",
"parentID":"2"
}
]
},
{
"id":"3",
"user":"Me3"
},
{
"id":"5",
"uesr":"Me5"
},
{
"id":"7",
"user":"Me7",
"childs":[
{
"id":"8",
"uesr":"Me8",
"parentID":"7"
},
{
"id":"9",
"user":"Me9",
"parentID":"7"
}
]
}
],
"isDisplay":"true"
}
I can do this by simple looping,
In lodash or anything angular does this functionality.
I am clueless to start,
I just give below code
this.list = _.groupBy(this.list,"parentID");
But the output not as expected.
Please help or guide
Thanks
You need a different approach, not grouping, but creating a tree out of the related data.
This solution uses an array with id
as key and with parentID
as well. The code works with a single loop, because of storing of the relation of children and parent and parent to their children.
How it works:
Basically for every object in the array it takes as well the id
for building a new object as the parentID
for a new object.
So for example this object
{ id: "6", parentID: "2", user: "Me6" }
it generates in o
first with id
this property
6: {
id: "6",
parentID: "2",
user: "Me6"
}
and then this property with parentID
2: {
children: [
{
id: "6",
parentID: "2",
user: "Me6"
}
]
},
and while all object treated like this, we finally get a tree.
At the end, the children array of the root property is returned.
function getTree(data, root) {
var o = {};
data.forEach(function (a) {
if (o[a.id] && o[a.id].children) {
a.children = o[a.id].children;
}
o[a.id] = a;
o[a.parentID] = o[a.parentID] || {};
o[a.parentID].children = o[a.parentID].children || [];
o[a.parentID].children.push(a);
});
return o[root].children;
}
var data = { sec: "11", details: [{ id: "1", user: "Me1" }, { id: "2", uesr: "Me2" }, { id: "3", user: "Me3" }, { id: "4", user: "Me4", parentID: "2" }, { id: "5", uesr: "Me5" }, { id: "6", user: "Me6", parentID: "2" }, { id: "7", user: "Me7" }, { id: "8", user: "Me8", parentID: "7" }, { id: "9", user: "Me9", parentID: "7" }], isDisplay: "true" },
result = { sec: "11", details: getTree(data.details, undefined), isDisplay: "true" };
console.log(result);
