Loop may be the wrong term, but it kind of describes what I am attempting. I want to give structure to flat data, but I also need to keep track of the array it came from.
<
Something like this?
var output = [{
"name": "Animal",
"typechild": [{
"name": "Chicken",
"level": 3
}, {
"name": "Dog",
"level": 2
}]
}, {
"name": "Food",
"typechild": [{
"name": "Chicken",
"level": 3
}]
}, {
"name": "No name",
"typechild": [{
"name": "Foo",
"level": 2
}, {
"name": "Baz",
"level": 2
}]
}]
let out = {},
typechild = {},
k;
const data = [{
"title": "Test 1",
"type": [{
"name": "Animal",
"level": 1
}, {
"name": "Food",
"level": 1
}, {
"name": "Chicken",
"level": 3
}]
}, {
"title": "Test 2",
"type": [{
"name": "Foo",
"level": 2
}]
}, {
"title": "Test 3",
"type": [{
"name": "Baz",
"level": 2
}]
}, {
"title": "Test 4",
"type": [{
"name": "Animal",
"level": 1
}, {
"name": "Dog",
"level": 2
}]
}]
data.forEach((node) => {
k = false;
typechild[node.title] = [];
node.type && node.type.forEach((t, i) => {
if (t.level == 1) {
k = true;
!out[t.name] ? out[t.name] = {
name: t.name,
typechild: typechild[node.title]
} : out[t.name].typechild = out[t.name].typechild.concat(typechild[node.title]);
} else {
typechild[node.title].push(t);
}
if (i == node.type.length - 1 && !k && typechild[node.title].length) {
out['No name'] = out['No name'] || {
name: 'No name',
typechild: []
};
out['No name'].typechild = out['No name'].typechild.concat(typechild[node.title]);
}
});
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(Object.values(out)));
