JavaScript: how do I flatten an object like this

how do we implement a util flatten to flat this

myMap = {
  'a': 5,
  'b': 6,
  'c': {
    'f': 9,
    'g': {
      'm': 17,
      'n': 3
    }
  }
}

to

flatten(myMap) = {
  'a': 5,
  'b': 6,
‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍ 'c.f': 9,
  'c.g.m': 17,
  'c.g.n': 3,
}

?

I found here is an implementation https://github.com/lukeed/flattie/blob/master/src/index.js but I couldn't understand the code. Can someone please give me a more readable version?

You can use this code:

myMap = {
  'a': 5,
  'b': 6,
  'c': {
    'f': 9,
    'g': {
      'm': 17,
      'n': 3
    }
  }
}

function flatten(obj, pKey = null, res = {}) {
  for (let key in obj) {
    const name = pKey ? `${pKey}.${key}` : key;
    if (typeof obj[key] === "object" && !Array.isArray(obj[key])) {
      flatten(obj[key], name, res);
    } else {
      res[name] = obj[key];
    }
  }
  return res;
}

console.log(flatten(myMap))

you can use it by flatten(myMap). Actually, it's simple, but sometimes it makes confusion. how it works is by looping then checking, if it is an object then calling itself again (recursive) to create a key object deeply and if not then create a key object until there.

Here is perhaps a slightly simpler version:

const inputObject = {
  a: 5,
  b: 6,
  c: {
    f: 9,
    g: {
      m: 17,
      n: 3
    }
  }
}

function flatten(input, keys = [], output = {}) {
  for (key in input) {
    const value = input[key]
    const combinedKeys = [...keys, key]

    if (typeof value === 'object') {
      output = flatten(value, combinedKeys, output)
    } else {
      output[combinedKeys.join('.')] = value
    }
  }
  return output
}

console.log(flatten(inputObject))
/* Logs:
 * {
 *   "a": 5,
 *   "b": 6,
 *   "c.f": 9,
 *   "c.g.m": 17,
 *   "c.g.n": 3
 * }
 */

The idea is to recursively look at all properties of the object and build a .-separated key as we go deeper until we reach a leaf value.

Here's one option:

// Declare an object
myMap = {
    'a': 5,
    'b': 6,
    'c': {
      'f': 9,
      'g': {
         'm': 17,
         'n': 3
  }
 }
}
// Declare a flatten function that takes
// object as parameter and returns the
// flatten object
const flattenObj = (myMap) => {

// The object which contains the
// final result
let result = {};

// loop through the object "ob"
for (const i in myMap) {

    // We check the type of the i using
    // typeof() function and recursively
    // call the function again
    if ((typeof myMap[i]) === 'object' && !Array.isArray(myMap[i])) {
        const temp = flattenObj(myMa**strong text**p[i]);
        for (const j in temp) {

            // Store temp in result
            result[i + '.' + j] = temp[j];
        }
    }

    // Else store ob[i] in result directly
    else {
        result[i] = myMap[i];
    }
}
return result;
};

console.log(flattenObj(myMap));
