How to find a object in a nested array using recursion in JS

Question

Consider the following deeply nested array:

const array = [
    {
        id: 1,
        name: \"bla\",
        children: [
            {
                id:         


        

Answer 1

This should work:

function findByIdRecursive(array, id) {
  for (let index = 0; index < array.length; index++) {
    const element = array[index];
    if (element.id === id) {
      return element;
    } else {
      if (element.children) {
        const found = findByIdRecursive(element.children, id);

        if (found) {
          return found;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
