function getAllPermutations(item) {
    var permutations = [];

    getAllPermutations0(item, permutations, []);
    console.log(permutations);
}

function getAllPermutations0(item, permutations, array) {
    if (array && array.length === item.Settings.length) {
        permutations.push(array.slice()); // The slice clone the array
        return;
    }

    var index =  array.length;
    var setting = item.Settings[index];

    for (var i = 0; i < setting.values.length; i++) {
        if (index === 0)
            array =  [];

        var currValue = setting.values[i];

        array.push({
            SettingName: setting.name,
            value: currValue
        });

        getAllPermutations0(item, permutations, array);
        array.pop(); // pop the old one first
    }
}
