Nested Set for Node.js written in TypeScript

Installation

npm install ts-nested-set

Features

• NestedSetNode instance has parent, children properties for ease of accessing the info
• append() a node into existing node
• prepend() a node into existing node
• flat() into an array containing { left, right, depth, title } information for ease of updating to database later
• prevSibling() retrieve the previous sibling or null
• nextSibling() retrieve the next sibling or null
• isLeaf() checks whether the node is the last node in the branch
• isRoot() checks whether the node is the root node
• getSize() get current node size. 2 if there is no children
• children contains all children nodes. Empty array if the node has no child
• parent refers to the parent node. null if the node is Root

Examples

Use NestedSetNode directly

import {NestedSetNode} from 'ts-nested-set';

let root = new NestedSetNode('Root'),
    nodeA = new NestedSetNode('Node A'),
    nodeB = new NestedSetNode('Node B', 0, 1, 1, root),
    nodeC = new NestedSetNode('Node C');

root.prepend(nodeA);
root.append(nodeC);

console.log('Root properties', root.toNestedSetProperties());
console.log('Node A properties', nodeA.toNestedSetProperties());
console.log('Node B properties', nodeB.toNestedSetProperties());
console.log('Node C properties', nodeC.toNestedSetProperties());

console.log('Flatten as an array', root.flat());

Extends NestedSetNode

import {NestedSetNode, NestedSetProperties} from 'ts-nested-set';

interface MenuProperties {
    menu_name: string;
    menu_lft: number;
    menu_rgt: number;
    menu_depth: number;
}

class NestedSetMenu extends NestedSetNode {

    static parseRow(props: NestedSetProperties): MenuProperties {
        return {
            menu_name: props.title,
            menu_lft: props.left,
            menu_rgt: props.right,
            menu_depth: props.depth
        };
    }

    constructor(menu_name: string) {
        super(menu_name);
    }

    public toRow(): MenuProperties {
        return NestedSetMenu.parseRow(this.toNestedSetProperties());
    }

    public toRows(): MenuProperties[] {
        let props: NestedSetProperties[] = super.flat(),
            rows: MenuProperties[];

        rows = props.map((row) => {
            return NestedSetMenu.parseRow(row);
        });

        return rows;
    }
}

let menuA = new NestedSetMenu('Menu A'),
    menuA1 = new NestedSetMenu('Menu A1');

menuA.append(menuA1);

console.log('Menu A', menuA.toRow());
console.log('Menu A flatten itself and all children to rows', menuA.toRows());
