将平面JSON转换为父子关系结构

Question

we want to convert Below JSON to Parent-Child Relation for a tree view structure, based on parent Link and Display Order.

1. if parent link is empty it is parent
2. if parent link exist it should add as a child
3. items should sort based on display order

[{
  "ParentLink":{ },
  "Id":1,
  "Title":"Home ITSD test new",
  "Url":{
     "Description":"#",
     "Url":"https://technologies.sharepoint.com/"
  },
  "DisplayOrder":1,
  "IsActive":true,
  "ID":1},{
  "ParentLink":{

  },
  "Id":2,
  "Title":"Link6",
  "Url":{
     "Description":"#",
     "Url":"https://technologies.sharepoint.com/"
  },
  "DisplayOrder":2,
  "IsActive":true,
  "ID":2},{"ParentLink":{
     "Title":"Link6"
  },
  "Id":3,
  "Title":"link7",
  "Url":{
     "Description":"#",
     "Url":"https://technologies.sharepoint.com/"
  },
  "DisplayOrder":21,
  "IsActive":true,
  "ID":3},{
  "ParentLink":{
     "Title":"Link6"
  },"Id":4,
  "Title":"link8",
  "Url":{
     "Description":"#",
     "Url":"https://technologies.sharepoint.com/"
  },
  "DisplayOrder":22,
  "IsActive":true,
  "ID":4},{
  "ParentLink":{
     "Title":"link8"
  },
  "Id":5,
  "Title":"link9",
  "Url":{
     "Description":"#",
     "Url":"https://technologies.sharepoint.com/"
  },
  "DisplayOrder":221,
  "IsActive":true,
  "ID":5}]

is there any other libraries already available or any easy way to do so

Answer 1

While Title and ParentLink.Title do not have matching values, you could take both values as lower case letters and use both to generate a tree by iterating the given array and use an object for assigning nodes and children.

For the wanted order, I suggest to sort the data in advance and take the nodes as the actual order for generating the tree. This is easier than to sort later only parts.

_{Just wondering, why has the data two id properties?}

 var data = [{ ParentLink: {}, Id: 1, Title: "Home ITSD test new", Url: { Description: "#", Url: "https://technologies.sharepoint.com/" }, DisplayOrder: 1, IsActive: true, ID: 1 }, { ParentLink: {}, Id: 2, Title: "Link6", Url: { Description: "#", Url: "https://technologies.sharepoint.com/" }, DisplayOrder: 2, IsActive: true, ID: 2 }, { ParentLink: { Title: "Link6" }, Id: 3, Title: "link7", Url: { Description: "#", Url: "https://technologies.sharepoint.com/" }, DisplayOrder: 21, IsActive: true, ID: 3 }, { ParentLink: { Title: "Link6" }, Id: 4, Title: "link8", Url: { Description: "#", Url: "https://technologies.sharepoint.com/" }, DisplayOrder: 22, IsActive: true, ID: 4 }, { ParentLink: { Title: "link8" }, Id: 5, Title: "link9", Url: { Description: "#", Url: "https://technologies.sharepoint.com/" }, DisplayOrder: 221, IsActive: true, ID: 5 }], tree = function (data, root) { var r = [], o = {}; data.forEach(function (a) { var id = a.Title.toLowerCase(), parent = a.ParentLink && a.ParentLink.Title && a.ParentLink.Title.toLowerCase(); a.children = o[id] && o[id].children; o[id] = a; if (parent === root) { r.push(a); } else { o[parent] = o[parent] || {}; o[parent].children = o[parent].children || []; o[parent].children.push(a); } }); return r; }(data, undefined); console.log(tree);
