I trying to generate all possible paths of the given json object. Some how I generated the paths but I want my final array in a flatten manner (no nested arrays inside the final array). I tried speading the array, but the final array contains some nested arrays. I want to have all the elements in a flatter manner.
Current op:
[
"obj",
"level1.level2.level3.key",
[
"arrayObj.one[0].name",
"arrayObj.one[0].point"
]
]
Expected:
[
"obj",
"level1.level2.level3.key",
"arrayObj.one[0].name",
"arrayObj.one[0].point"
]
Below I have attached the snippet I tried.
const allPaths = (obj, path = "") =>
Object.keys(obj).reduce((res, el) => {
if (Array.isArray(obj[el]) && obj[el].length) {
return [...res, ...obj[el].map((item, index) => {
return [...res, ...allPaths(item, `${path}${el}[${index}].`)];
})];
} else if (typeof obj[el] === "object" && obj[el] !== null) {
return [...res, ...allPaths(obj[el], `${path}${el}.`)];
}
return [...res, path + el];
}, []);
const obj = {
obj: 'sample',
level1: {
level2: {
level3: {
key: 'value'
}
}
},
arrayObj: {
one: [{
name: 'name',
point: 'point'
},
{
name: 'name2',
point: 'point2'
},
{
name: 'name2',
point: 'point2'
}
]
}
}
console.log(allPaths(obj));UPDATE: I didn't understood the question previously correctly. Now i do. So yes the below code will solve the problem for you.
You want your object to be flattened with dots
If thats the case the below should work
const obj = {
obj: 'sample',
level1: {
level2: {
level3: {
key: 'value'
}
}
},
arrayObj: {
one: [{
name: 'name',
point: 'point'
},
{
name: 'name2',
point: 'point2'
},
{
name: 'name2',
point: 'point2'
}
]
}
}
function flatten(data, prefix) {
let result = {}
for(let d in data) {
if(typeof data[d] == 'object') Object.assign(result, flatten(data[d], prefix + '.' + d))
else result[(prefix + '.' + d).replace(/^\./, '')] = data[d]
}
return result
}
console.log(flatten(obj, ''))
