My array is structured in a nested format as shown below.
const tree = {
"id": 1,
"name": "mainOrgName",
"children": [
{
"id": 10,
"name": "East Region",
"children": [
{
"id": 11,
"name": "test east sub 1",
"children": [
{
"id": 12,
"name": "sub 22 sub 1",
"children": [
{
"id": 15,
"name": "sub 333 of sub ",
"children": [
{
"id": 16,
"name": "sub 4444",
"children": []
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
},
{
"id": 13,
"name": "west region",
"children": [
{
"id": 14,
"name": "test west sub 1",
"children": []
}
]
}
]
}
I am looking to go through the tree.children array to extract the id and name values from sub arrays and their children until there are no more children arrays. (Note: The children array may be empty or have multiple levels)
The expected result should look like this: Expected result
[
{
"name": "East Region",
"value": 10,
"selected": false
},
{
"name": "test east sub 1",
"value": 11,
"selected": false
},
{
"name": "sub 22 sub 1",
"value": 12,
"selected": false
},
{
"name": "sub 333 of sub",
"value": 15,
"selected": false
},
{
"name": "sub 4444",
"value": 16,
"selected": false
},
{
"name": "west region",
"value": 13,
"selected": false
},
{
"name": "test west sub 1",
"value": 14,
"selected": false
}
]
I attempted the following code snippet:
const candidates = tree.children.map(org => ({name: org.name, value: org.id, selected: false}));
However, the output I received was different:
[
{
"name": "East Region",
"value": 10,
"selected": false
},
{
"name": "west region",
"value": 13,
"selected": false
}
]
I am striving to achieve the desired outcome but unsure how to implement a condition that continues traversing until the children are empty and pushes the required fields into the final array in the necessary format. I might need to utilize recursive/call back functions, but I'm uncertain about the implementation.
Your assistance in achieving the expected result would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
