Full path of a json object

Question

I\'m trying to flatten an object where the keys will be the full path to the leaf node. I can recursively identify which are the leaf nodes but stuck trying to construct the

Answer 1

You could use a recursive approch and collect the keys of the object. This proposal looks for arrays as well.

function getFlatObject(object) {
    function iter(o, p) {
        if (o && typeof o === 'object') {
            Object.keys(o).forEach(function (k) {
                iter(o[k], p.concat(k));
            });
            return;
        }
        path[p.join('.')] = o;
    }

    var path = {};
    iter(object, []);
    return path;
}

var obj = { one: 1, two: { three: 3 }, four: { five: 5, six: { seven: 7 }, eight: 8 }, nine: 9 },
    path = getFlatObject(obj);
	
console.log(path);
