I found the question How to convert a file path into treeview?, but I'm not sure how to get the desired result in JavaScript:
I'm trying to turn an array of paths into a JSON tree:
https://jsfiddle.net/tfkdagzv/16/
But my path is being overwritten.
I'm trying to take something like this:
[
'/org/openbmc/path1',
'/org/openbmc/path2',
...
]
... and turn it into...
output = {
org: {
openbmc: {
path1: {},
path2: {}
}
}
}
I'm sure this is pretty easy, but I'm missing something.
const data = [
"/org/openbmc/examples/path0/PythonObj",
"/org/openbmc/UserManager/Group",
"/org/openbmc/HostIpmi/1",
"/org/openbmc/HostServices",
"/org/openbmc/UserManager/Users",
"/org/openbmc/records/events",
"/org/openbmc/examples/path1/SDBusObj",
"/org/openbmc/UserManager/User",
"/org/openbmc/examples/path0/SDBusObj",
"/org/openbmc/examples/path1/PythonObj",
"/org/openbmc/UserManager/Groups",
"/org/openbmc/NetworkManager/Interface"
];
const output = {};
let current;
for (const path of data) {
current = output;
for (const segment of path.split('/')) {
if (segment !== '') {
if (!(segment in current)) {
current[segment] = {};
}
current = current[segment];
}
}
}
console.log(output);
Your solution was close, you just didn't reset the current
variable properly. Use this:
current = output;
instead of this:
current = output[path[0]];
