Question

I have an array, and each item is an object with unique Ids. Some items may also have children, and it can have children array inside a children array. I\'m trying to pick a

Answer 1

Example using recursion.

const data = [{
    uuid: '40E75F3DE56B4B11B3AFBDE46785737B'
  }, {
    uuid: '9CEF74766BBB4B9682B7817B43CEAE48'
  }, {
    uuid: '34F209A883D3406FBA6BACD9E07DB1D9',
    children: [{
      uuid: 'F429C51BF01C405DA517616E0E16DE4E',
      children: [{
        uuid: '8823CFCE7D4645C68991332091C1A05C'
      }, {
        uuid: '58A9345E881F48C980498C7FFB68667D'
      }]
    }]
  }, {
    uuid: '152488CC33434A8C9CACBC2E06A7E535'
  }, {
    uuid: '9152B3DEF40F414BBBC68CACE2F5F6E4'
  }, {
    uuid: 'B9A39766B17E4406864D785DB6893C3D'
  },
  {
    uuid: '3J4H4J5HN6K4344D785DBJ345HSSODF',
    children: [{
        uuid: 'EAB14DD72DA24BB88B4837C9D5276859'
      },
      {
        uuid: 'FFA80D043380481F8835859A0839512B'
      },
      {
        uuid: '9679687190354FA79EB9D1CA7B4962B1'
      }
    ]
  }
];

let find = (data, uuid) => {
  for (let o of data) {
    if (o.uuid === uuid) {
      return o;
    };
    if ('children' in o) {
      let ro = find(o.children, uuid);
      if (ro) {
        return ro;
      }
    }
  }
}

let result = find(data, '9679687190354FA79EB9D1CA7B4962B1')
console.clear();
console.log(result);
