list-to-tree

This lib is help-tool for convertation list to tree a data structure.

Attention

• Recently I have rewritten the project and now it is based on IronTree - it allowed to do the project in unix way style and added flexibility. IronTree has a fairly rich interface.
• The tree can now be sorted - you only need to pass your sorting method if you are not satisfied with the native sorting.

Install on npm

npm install list-to-tree --save

Usage

    var LTT = require('list-to-tree');
    var list = [
    {
        id: 1,
        parent: 0
    }, {
        id: 2,
        parent: 1
    }, {
        id: 3,
        parent: 1
    }, {
        id: 4,
        parent: 2
    }, {
        id: 5,
        parent: 2
    }, {
        id: 6,
        parent: 0
    }, {
        id: 7,
        parent: 0
    }, {
        id: 8,
        parent: 7
    }, {
        id: 9,
        parent: 8
    }, {
        id: 10,
        parent: 0
    }
    ];

    var ltt = new LTT(list, {
        key_id: 'id',
        key_parent: 'parent'
    });
    var tree = ltt.GetTree();

    console.log( tree );

Result

[{
    "id": 1,
    "parent": 0,
    "child": [
        {
            "id": 2,
            "parent": 1,
            "child": [
                {
                    "id": 4,
                    "parent": 2
                }, {
                    "id": 5,
                    "parent": 2
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "id": 3,
            "parent": 1
        }
    ]
}, {
    "id": 6,
    "parent": 0
}, {
    "id": 7,
    "parent": 0,
    "child": [
        {
            "id": 8,
            "parent": 7,
            "child": [
                {
                    "id": 9,
                    "parent": 8
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}, {
    "id": 10,
    "parent": 0
}];

Properties

• tree - This property is IronTree type and have methods: add, remove, contains, sort, move, traversal, toJson, etc...
• options
  • key_id (string) Field name for id item. Default: 'id'.
  • key_parent (string) Field name for parent id. Default: 'parent'.
  • key_child (string) Field name for children of item. Default 'child'.
  • empty_children (boolean) Flag for allow empty children property in item. Default: false.

Methods

• constructor(list, options)
  • params:
    • list - array list with elements. Like { id: 5: parent: 1 }.
    • options - optional parameter. Object for describe flags and field names for tree.
• .GetTree() This method will be return json tree
  • example:

      tree.GetTree()

• .sort(callback) The custom sort method
  • callback(a, b) - a and b have IronTree\Node type and have methods: add, remove, get, set, sort, traversal, etc...
  • example:

    function compareById(vector) {
      return (a, b) => {
        const aid = Number(a.get('id'));
        const bid = Number(b.get('id'));
        if (aid > bid) {
          return vector ? 1 : -1;
        } else if (aid < bid) {
          return vector ? -1 : 1;
        } else {
          return 0
        }
      };
    }
    ltt.sort(compareById(false));
