I am working with an array containing objects that may have unknown and varying nesting depths. Here is an example of such an array:
let exampleArray = [
{
id: 'some-id',
label: "Item 1",
children: [
{
id: 'some-id',
label: "Child 1",
children: [
{
id: 'some-id', // How to find this for example?
label: "Child 2",
children: []
}
]
}
]
},
{
id: 'some-id',
label: "Item 2",
children: [
{
id: 'some-id',
label: "Child 1",
children: [
{
id: 'some-id',
label: "Child 2",
children: []
}
]
}
]
}
]
Each item in the array can contain a nested array called children, following a similar structure as the parent object.
The task at hand:
If I need to remove a specific nested element based on its ID, how should I go about it? Iterating through the entire array with a predefined number of loops might not be efficient, given the dynamic nature of nesting levels.
If I have the ID of the child element, can I implement a logic that says: "Iterate through the entire array, including all nested layers, to locate the element with the specified ID xy."
What would be the best approach to manage such complex nested arrays?
