tree-iterate

Lets you Iterate a Array-Tree in a high performance tested manner with the ability to get parents back as well

Install

npm install tree-iterate --save

Example Usage:

var treeIterator = require('tree-iterate');

var tree = [{
                name : 'parent',
                children : [
                    {
                        name : 'child1',
                        children : [
                            {
                                name : 'child1Deep1'
                            },
                            {
                                name : 'child1Deep2'
                            }
                        ]
                    },
                    {
                        name : 'child2',
                        children : [
                            {
                                name : 'child2Deep1'
                            },
                            {
                                name : 'child2Deep2'
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }];

//all options are optional
var options = {
    objectCallback : boolean //params object instead of 3 params
    ignoreParentalsArray : boolean
    ignoreParents : boolean
};


treeIterator(tree, options, function forEachCallback(node, parent, parents, parentIndices){
    parentNames = [];
    parents.forEach(function(anscestor){
        parentNames.push(anscestor.name);
    });
    console.log('Current Node :', node.name, ', Current Parent : ', parent.name, ', Parents : [ ', parentNames , ' ]');
});

Expected Output:

      'Current Node : undefined, Current Parent : undefined, Parents: [  ]',
      'Current Node : parent, Current Parent : undefined, Parents: [  ]',
      'Current Node : child1, Current Parent : parent, Parents: [ parent, ]',
      'Current Node : child2, Current Parent : parent, Parents: [ parent, ]',
      'Current Node : child1Deep1, Current Parent : child1, Parents: [ child1,parent, ]',
      'Current Node : child1Deep2, Current Parent : child1, Parents: [ child1,parent, ]',
      'Current Node : child2Deep1, Current Parent : child2, Parents: [ child2,parent, ]',
      'Current Node : child2Deep2, Current Parent : child2, Parents: [ child2,parent, ]'
