Need to change name of a key in a script that returns a sorted List-CodePudding

I have some code that loops thru a flat json doc and creates a hierarchal of the items based on level and position. It all works as expected but i have the need to change the child elements name from child to items. And thats where my problem starts. There is 2 porions in code where i set the child:

   newparent = {
          ...oldparent,
          child: mItems
        };
      } else {
        newparent = {
          ...oldparent,
          child: [child]

So I tried to change that to items but that does not work, when i change it, I get the items key on the initial items but not for any additional items under that parent.

Here is also link to a working sample Replit Testbed

function menu_sorted(input) {

  var sorted_by_level = {};

  input.forEach(i => {
    if (sorted_by_level.hasOwnProperty("level_"   i.level.toString())) {
      sorted_by_level["level_"   i.level.toString()].push(i);
    } else {
      sorted_by_level["level_"   i.level.toString()] = [i];
      if (i.level > max_level) {
        max_level = i.level;
      }
    }
  });


  for (level = max_level; level > 0; level--) {
    sorted_by_level["level_"   level.toString()].forEach(child => {
      const oldparent = sorted_by_level[
        "level_"   (level - 1).toString()
      ].filter(p => p.guid === child.parent)[0];
      const parentIndex = sorted_by_level[
        "level_"   (level - 1).toString()
      ].findIndex(p => p.guid === child.parent);
      let newparent;

     // delete child.guid;
     // delete child.parent;
      if (oldparent.hasOwnProperty("child") && oldparent.child) {
        var mItems = [...oldparent.child, child];
        mItems.sort((a, b) => (a.position > b.position) ? 1 : -1);
        newparent = {
          ...oldparent,
          child: mItems
        };
      } else {
        newparent = {
          ...oldparent,
          child: [child]
        };
      }
      sorted_by_level["level_"   (level - 1).toString()][
        parentIndex
      ] = newparent;
    });
  }
  sorted_by_level.level_0.sort((a, b) => (a.position > b.position) ? 1 : -1);
  return sorted_by_level.level_0
}

console.log(util.inspect(menu_sorted(mydata.nofilter),false,null,true))

CodePudding user response：

See my fork of your Replit:

There are additional places you need to change "child" to "items", including lines 34, 35:

if (oldparent.hasOwnProperty("items") && oldparent.items) {
   var mItems = [...oldparent.items, child];

Also the 2 changes you noted above. Note that we don't change the local 'child' variable, but every reference to 'items' being a property needs to accounted for as well.
