Return last value with recursion - Javascript

Question

Hi all I have following data:

const section = {
  fileds: [
    { id: "some Id-1", type: "user-1" },
     {
      child: [
        { id: "some Id-2", type: "user-2" },
        { fileds: [{ id: "kxf5", status: "pending" }] },
        { fileds: [{ id: "ed5t", status: "done" }] }
      ]
    },
    {
      child: [
        { id: "some Id-3", type: "teacher" },
        { fileds: [{ id: "ccfr", status: null }] },
        { fileds: [{ id: "kdpt8", status: "inProgress" }] }
      ]
    }
  ]
};

and following code:

const getLastIds = (arr) =>
  arr.flatMap((obj) => {
    const arrayArrs = Object.values(obj).filter((v) => Array.isArray(v));
    const arrayVals = Object.entries(obj)
      .filter(([k, v]) => typeof v === "string" && k === "id")
      .map(([k, v]) => v);
    return [...arrayVals, ...arrayArrs.flatMap((arr) => getLastIds(arr))];
  });

console.log(getLastIds(section.fileds));

// output is (7) ["some Id-1", "some Id-2", "kxf5", "ed5t", "some Id-3", "ccfr", "kdpt8"]

My code doing following, it printing in new array all ids.

It's working but I don't need all ids.

I need to return only last id in array and I should use recursion. The output should be

(4) [" "kxf5", "ed5t", "ccfr", "kdpt8"]

PS here is my code in codesandbox

Is there a way to solve this problem with recursion? Please help to fix this.

Answer 1

You can do it with reduce .

function getLastIds (value) {
    return value.reduce((prev, cur) => {
        if (cur.id) {
            return [ ...prev, cur.id ];
        } else {
            let key = ('child' in cur) ? 'child' : 'fileds';
            return [ ...prev, ...getLastIds (cur[key]) ]
        }
    }, []);
}

Answer 2

You could check if a certain key exists and take this property for mapping id if status exists.

 const getValues = data => { const array = Object.values(data).find(Array.isArray); return array? array.flatMap(getValues): 'status' in data? data.id: []; }, section = { fileds: [{ id: "some Id-1", type: "user-1" }, { child: [{ id: "some Id-2", type: "user-2" }, { fileds: [{ id: "kxf5", status: "pending" }] }, { fileds: [{ id: "ed5t", status: "done" }] }] }, { child: [{ id: "some Id-3", type: "teacher" }, { fileds: [{ id: "ccfr", status: null }] }, { fileds: [{ id: "kdpt8", status: "inProgress" }] }] }] }, result = getValues(section); console.log(result);
