Flattening deeply nested array of objects

由 时光总嘲笑我的痴心妄想 提交于 2019-12-04 15:25:41

Just iterate over and if a children is found get the array from the children concatinated.

function flat(array) {
    var result = [];
    array.forEach(function (a) {
        result.push(a);
        if (Array.isArray(a.children)) {
            result = result.concat(flat(a.children));
        }
    });
    return result;
}

var data = [{ id: "acc.1260446672222.11", type: "EXPENSES_FOLDER", name: "Expense Group", balance: 3418.11, children: [{ id: "acc.1260446672238.27", type: "EXPENSE", name: "Advertising, Promotion and

    result = flat(data);

document.write('<pre>' + JSON.stringify(result, 0, 4) + '</pre>');

try to understand this version, with it's benefits and implications

function flatten(into, node){
    if(node == null) return into;
    if(Array.isArray(node)) return node.reduce(flatten, into);
    into.push(node);
    return flatten(into, node.children);
}

var out = flatten([], yourArray);

the argument order might be confusing at first, unless you are used to reduced, or the concept of options first, data last, wich is very handy when it comes to FP and currying or partial application.

You could make a recursive function that looks through each account, and if it has children calls itself on the children, the function should return a flattened array of accounts.

This example is a bit more complicated than it has to be because I am assuming that order matters and that the parent should be before the children.

function flattenAccounts(accounts){
  var a = [];
  for(var i=0;i<accounts.length;i++){
    var o = accounts[i];
    if(o.children){
      var c = flattenAccounts(o.children);
      if(c){
          a = a.concat(c);
      }
    }
    a.push(o)
  }
  return a;
}

This is a simpler example but the children would end up before the parent.

function flattenAccounts(accounts){
  var a = [];
  for(var i=0;i<accounts.length;i++){
    if(accounts[i].children){
      a = a.concat(flattenAccounts(accounts[i].children) )
    }
    a.push(accounts[i])
  }
  return a;
}
