HierarchyTree
A tool which will make your array of objects into an array of trees setting the objects in parent-children relationships. For code documentation check HierarchyTree
Important assumptions on your input data:
- Your array has to be in order of the hierarchies
- Hierarchies for sequential objects should be in growing order (e.g. 1 -> 2 -> 3 not 1 -> 3)
- Each element should have hierarchy indicator
Important notes on output:
- Output is array of objects provided
- Object has parent node spread
- Objects' child nodes are in an array
- Object without children does not have children prop
Parameters
data
Array<Object> Array of objects to be turned into a tree.options
Object Additional options for HierarchyTree.childKey
string Key in the tree where children will be stored. When no children this property is undefined. (optional, default'children'
)hierarchyKey
string Key in the input data where hierarchy level is indicated. (optional, default'hierarchy'
)maxHierarchy
number Maximum hierarchy depth. If not provided it will be recursively found.hierarchyStart
number First level where the hierarchies will start. (optional, default1
)parentObjects
parentObjects Gives child its parent items (with 'parentKeys' properties). (optional, defaultfalse
)parentKey
parentKey Key for object where childrens' parents will be stored. When item has no parents this property is undefined. (optional, default'parents'
)parentKeys
parentKeys When 'parentObjects' is true, each child will have its parents stored with these properties. (optional, default[]
)
