I have a tree object like below:
let data = [
{
id: 1,
children: [
{
id: 1.1,
children: [
{
id: 1.2,
children: []
},
{
id: 1.22,
children: []
}
]
}
]
},
{
id: 2,
children: []
}
]
I want to filter out id equal a specific value. In this case, I want to filter out id equal 1.2.
The rusult I want is like below:
let data = [
{
id: 1,
children: [
{
id: 1.1,
children: [
{
id: 1.22,
children: []
}
]
}
]
},
{
id: 2,
children: []
}
]
I have search a few question about filter nest deep object, But still don't know how. I need to use recursion to solve this.
This is my way:
function handleDelete (data) {
return data.filter(t => {
if (t.children.length) {
handleDelete(t.children)
})
} else {
return t.id !== '1.2'
}
})
}
let result = handleDelete(data)
delete a node and its descendants
Here's an effective technique using flatMap and mutual recursion1 -
del accepts an array of nodes, t, a query, q, and calls del1 on each node with the query
del1 accepts a single node, t, a query, q, and calls del on a node's children
const del = (t, q) =>
t.flatMap(v => del1(v, q)) // <-- 1
const del1 = (t, q) =>
q == t.id
? []
: { ...t, children: del(t.children, q) } // <-- 2
const data =
[{id:1,children:[{id:1.1,children:[{id:1.2,children:[]},{id:1.22,children:[]}]}]},{id:2,children:[]}]
const result =
del(data, "1.2")
console.log(result)
In the output, we see node.id 1.2 is removed -
[
{
"id": 1,
"children": [
{
"id": 1.1,
"children": [
{
"id": 1.22,
"children": []
}
]
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"children": []
}
]
preserving the descendants
In the program above, if a node.id matches our query, the node and all of its descendent children are removed. If we only want to delete the parent node and keep the children, we can make a single modification (!) to the program -
const del = (t, q) =>
t.flatMap(v => del1(v, q))
const del1 = (t, q) =>
q == t.id
? del(t.children, q) // <-- !
: { ...t, children: del(t.children, q) }
const data =
[{id:1,children:[{id:1.1,children:[{id:1.2,children:[]},{id:1.22,children:[]}]}]},{id:2,children:[]}]
const result =
del(data, "1") // <-- delete node.id equal to "1"
console.log(result)
Notice how the children for 1 are still included in the output -
[
{
"id": 1.1,
"children": [
{
"id": 1.2,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 1.22,
"children": []
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"children": []
}
]
without mutual recursion
Mutual recursion isn't the only way to do it, but it's the only way to avoid a dynamic type check, such as the one below. In this final revision, we remove a parent and all of its children, as we did in the first program, but this del is implemented using a single recursive function -
const del = (t, q) =>
Array.isArray(t) // <-- array
? t.flatMap(v => del(v, q))
: Object(t) === t // <-- object
? q == t.id
? []
: { ...t, children: del(t.children, q) }
: t // <-- neither (noop)
const data =
[{id:1,children:[{id:1.1,children:[{id:1.2,children:[]},{id:1.22,children:[]}]}]},{id:2,children:[]}]
const result =
del(data, "1.2")
console.log(result)
The output is the same as the first program, where 1.2 and all descendants are removed -
[
{
"id": 1,
"children": [
{
"id": 1.1,
"children": [
{
"id": 1.22,
"children": []
}
]
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"children": []
}
]
1. See this technique used on a different data set in this related Q&A.
2. All programs in this answer produce a new tree. The original input is not modified by del (or del1).
I am trying to convert a data.frame into JSON text. How can I include an array in this data.frame? I.e. the variable characteristics needs to contain multiple elements. I do not succeed in this.
Here is my code:
data <- data.frame(sequenceNbr = c(1:3),
requestTypeCode = "MR001",
managementStartingDate = format(Sys.Date(),"%Y-%m-%d"),
TopicCode = "TH02",
Nbr = c("1760448", "6580364", "1391363"),
TypeCode = "R003008",
char1 = "CK001001", char2 = "CK001002",
stringsAsFactors = FALSE) %>%
group_by(sequenceNbr) %>%
nest( Assignment=c(TopicCode),
entity = c(Nbr),
ToControl = c(TypeCode),
characteristics = c(char1,char2)
)
data <- data %>%
mutate( Assignment = purrr::map(Assignment, as.list),
entity = purrr::map(entity, as.list))
json <- jsonlite::toJSON(list(`DefList`=data),
auto_unbox = TRUE, pretty = TRUE)
This gives as output
{
"DefList": [
{
"sequenceNbr": 1,
"requestTypeCode": "MR001",
"managementStartingDate": "2020-06-16",
"Assignment": {
"TopicCode": "TH02"
},
"entity": {
"Nbr": "1760448"
},
"ToControl": [
{
"TypeCode": "R003008"
}
],
"characteristics": [
{
"char1": "CK001001",
"char2": "CK001002"
}
]
},
{
"sequenceNbr": 2,
"requestTypeCode": "MR001",
"managementStartingDate": "2020-06-16",
"Assignment": {
"TopicCode": "TH02"
},
"entity": {
"Nbr": "6580364"
},
"ToControl": [
{
"TypeCode": "R003008"
}
],
"characteristics": [
{
"char1": "CK001001",
"char2": "CK001002"
}
]
}
]
}
What I want as output is this (there is a difference in the characteristics-element):
{
"DefList": [
{
"sequenceNbr": 1,
"requestTypeCode": "MR001",
"managementStartingDate": "2020-06-16",
"Assignment": {
"TopicCode": "TH02"
},
"entity": {
"Nbr": "1760448"
},
"ToControl": [
{
"TypeCode": "R003008"
}
],
"characteristics": [
"CK001001",
"CK001002"
]
},
{
"sequenceNbr": 2,
"requestTypeCode": "MR001",
"managementStartingDate": "2020-06-16",
"Assignment": {
"TopicCode": "TH02"
},
"entity": {
"Nbr": "6580364"
},
"ToControl": [
{
"TypeCode": "R003008"
}
],
"characteristics": [
"CK001001",
"CK001002"
]
}
]
}
It should also work when characteristics contains only one value. Any idea's? I think the data.frame structure is the limiting factor, since it cannot contain an array. I see in this post : https://blog.exploratory.io/working-with-json-data-in-very-simple-way-ad7ebcc0bb89 that it is correct JSON syntax, but I do not manage to obtain it. Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm following the Dynamic Dataset example from vis and I'm getting a typescript error when I try to set edges.
I just have an edge array that looks like:
edgesArray = [
{ from: 1, to: 3 },
{ from: 1, to: 2 },
{ from: 2, to: 4 },
{ from: 3, to: 5 },
]
and I'm setting the data as
let data = {
nodes: new vis.DataSet(nodesArray),
edges: new vis.DataSet(edgesArray)
}
The error I'm getting is in the edges.
No overload matches this call.
Overload 1 of 2, '(options?: DataSetInitialOptions<"id">): DataSet<Partial<Record<"id", string | number>>, "id">', gave the following error.
Type '{ from: number; to: number; } []' has no properties in common with type 'DataSetInitialOptions<"id">'.
Overload 2 of 2, '(data: Partial<Record<"id", string | number>>[], options?: DataSetInitialOptions<"id">): DataSet<Partial<Record<"id", string | number>>, "id">', gave the following error.
Argument of type '{ from: number; to: number; } []' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Partial<Record<"id", string | number>>[]'.
I'm using version 5.2.4 of vis-network.
This is standard TS behavior. You're trying to assign type A into B but they have nothing in common. DataSet can accept items that have optional id. However your edges have no ids and TS simply says you're doing something wrong.
Solution one:
import { Edge } from "vis-network";
const edgesArray: Edge[] = [
{ from: 1, to: 3 },
{ from: 1, to: 2 },
{ from: 2, to: 4 },
{ from: 3, to: 5 },
];
Solution two:
const edgesArray = [
{ id: undefined, from: 1, to: 3 },
{ from: 1, to: 2 },
{ from: 2, to: 4 },
{ from: 3, to: 5 },
];
Solution three:
const edgesArray: { id?: undefined, from: number, to: number }[] = [
{ from: 1, to: 3 },
{ from: 1, to: 2 },
{ from: 2, to: 4 },
{ from: 3, to: 5 },
];
I have an object, of which parameters contain and array of object. I receive 1 object id and I need to find its position in that whole mess. With procedural programming I got it working with:
const opportunitiesById = {
1: [
{ id: 1, name: 'offer 1' },
{ id: 2, name: 'offer 1' }
],
2: [
{ id: 3, name: 'offer 1' },
{ id: 4, name: 'offer 1' }
],
3: [
{ id: 5, name: 'offer 1' },
{ id: 6, name: 'offer 1' }
]
};
const findObjectIdByOfferId = (offerId) => {
let opportunityId;
let offerPosition;
const opportunities = Object.keys(opportunitiesById);
opportunities.forEach(opportunity => {
const offers = opportunitiesById[opportunity];
offers.forEach((offer, index) => {
if (offer.id === offerId) {
opportunityId = Number(opportunity);
offerPosition = index;
}
})
});
return { offerPosition, opportunityId };
}
console.log(findObjectIdByOfferId(6)); // returns { offerPosition: 1, opportunityId: 3 }
However this is not pretty and I want to do that in a functional way.
I've looked into Ramda, and I can find an offer when I'm looking into a single array of offers, but I can't find a way to look through the entire object => each array to find the path to my offer.
R.findIndex(R.propEq('id', offerId))(opportunitiesById[1]);
The reason I need to know the path is because I then need tho modify that offer with new data and update it back where it is.
Thanks for any help
You could piece it together using lots of little functions but I want to show you how to encode your intentions in a more straightforward way. This program has an added benefit that it will return immediately. Ie, it will not continue to search thru additional key/value pairs after a match is found.
Here's a way you can do it using mutual recursion. First we write findPath -
const identity = x =>
x
const findPath =
( f = identity
, o = {}
, path = []
) =>
Object (o) === o
? f (o) === true
? path
: findPath1 (f, Object .entries (o), path)
: undefined
If the input is an object, we pass it to the user's search function f. If the user's search function returns true, a match has been found and we return the path. If there is not match, we search each key/value pair of the object using a helper function. Otherwise, if the input is not an object, there is no match and nothing left to search, so return undefined. We write the helper, findPath1 -
const None =
Symbol ()
const findPath1 =
( f = identity
, [ [ k, v ] = [ None, None ], ...more ]
, path = []
) =>
k === None
? undefined
: findPath (f, v, [ ...path, k ])
|| findPath1 (f, more, path)
If the key/value pairs have been exhausted, there is nothing left to search so return undefined. Otherwise we have a key k and a value v; append k to the path and recursively search v for a match. If there is not a match, recursively search the remaining key/values, more, using the same path.
Note the simplicity of each function. There's nothing happening except for the absolute minimum number of steps to assemble a path to the matched object. You can use it like this -
const opportunitiesById =
{ 1:
[ { id: 1, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 2, name: 'offer 1' }
]
, 2:
[ { id: 3, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 4, name: 'offer 1' }
]
, 3:
[ { id: 5, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 6, name: 'offer 1' }
]
}
findPath (offer => offer.id === 6, opportunitiesById)
// [ '3', '1' ]
The path returned leads us to the object we wanted to find -
opportunitiesById['3']['1']
// { id: 6, name: 'offer 1' }
We can specialize findPath to make an intuitive findByOfferId function -
const findByOfferId = (q = 0, data = {}) =>
findPath (o => o.id === q, data)
findByOfferId (3, opportunitiesById)
// [ '2', '0' ]
opportunitiesById['2']['0']
// { id: 3, name: 'offer 1' }
Like Array.prototype.find, it returns undefined if a match is never found -
findByOfferId (99, opportunitiesById)
// undefined
Expand the snippet below to verify the results in your own browser -
const identity = x =>
x
const None =
Symbol ()
const findPath1 =
( f = identity
, [ [ k, v ] = [ None, None ], ...more ]
, path = []
) =>
k === None
? undefined
: findPath (f, v, [ ...path, k ])
|| findPath1 (f, more, path)
const findPath =
( f = identity
, o = {}
, path = []
) =>
Object (o) === o
? f (o) === true
? path
: findPath1 (f, Object .entries (o), path)
: undefined
const findByOfferId = (q = 0, data = {}) =>
findPath (o => o.id === q, data)
const opportunitiesById =
{ 1:
[ { id: 1, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 2, name: 'offer 1' }
]
, 2:
[ { id: 3, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 4, name: 'offer 1' }
]
, 3:
[ { id: 5, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 6, name: 'offer 1' }
]
}
console .log (findByOfferId (3, opportunitiesById))
// [ '2', '0' ]
console .log (opportunitiesById['2']['0'])
// { id: 3, name: 'offer 1' }
console .log (findByOfferId (99, opportunitiesById))
// undefined
In this related Q&A, I demonstrate a recursive search function that returns the matched object, rather than the path to the match. There's other useful tidbits to go along with it so I'll recommend you to give it a look.
Scott's answer inspired me to attempt an implementation using generators. We start with findPathGen -
const identity = x =>
x
const findPathGen = function*
( f = identity
, o = {}
, path = []
)
{ if (Object (o) === o)
if (f (o) === true)
yield path
else
yield* findPathGen1 (f, Object .entries (o), path)
}
And using mutual recursion like we did last time, we call on helper findPathGen1 -
const findPathGen1 = function*
( f = identity
, entries = []
, path = []
)
{ for (const [ k, v ] of entries)
yield* findPathGen (f, v, [ ...path, k ])
}
Finally, we can implement findPath and the specialization findByOfferId -
const first = ([ a ] = []) =>
a
const findPath = (f = identity, o = {}) =>
first (findPathGen (f, o))
const findByOfferId = (q = 0, data = {}) =>
findPath (o => o.id === q, data)
It works the same -
findPath (offer => offer.id === 3, opportunitiesById)
// [ '2', '0' ]
findPath (offer => offer.id === 99, opportunitiesById)
// undefined
findByOfferId (3, opportunitiesById)
// [ '2', '0' ]
findByOfferId (99, opportunitiesById)
// undefined
And as a bonus, we can implement findAllPaths easily using Array.from -
const findAllPaths = (f = identity, o = {}) =>
Array .from (findPathGen (f, o))
findAllPaths (o => o.id === 3 || o.id === 6, opportunitiesById)
// [ [ '2', '0' ], [ '3', '1' ] ]
Verify the results by expanding the snippet below
const identity = x =>
x
const findPathGen = function*
( f = identity
, o = {}
, path = []
)
{ if (Object (o) === o)
if (f (o) === true)
yield path
else
yield* findPathGen1 (f, Object .entries (o), path)
}
const findPathGen1 = function*
( f = identity
, entries = []
, path = []
)
{ for (const [ k, v ] of entries)
yield* findPathGen (f, v, [ ...path, k ])
}
const first = ([ a ] = []) =>
a
const findPath = (f = identity, o = {}) =>
first (findPathGen (f, o))
const findByOfferId = (q = 0, data = {}) =>
findPath (o => o.id === q, data)
const opportunitiesById =
{ 1:
[ { id: 1, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 2, name: 'offer 1' }
]
, 2:
[ { id: 3, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 4, name: 'offer 1' }
]
, 3:
[ { id: 5, name: 'offer 1' }
, { id: 6, name: 'offer 1' }
]
}
console .log (findByOfferId (3, opportunitiesById))
// [ '2', '0' ]
console .log (findByOfferId (99, opportunitiesById))
// undefined
// --------------------------------------------------
const findAllPaths = (f = identity, o = {}) =>
Array .from (findPathGen (f, o))
console .log (findAllPaths (o => o.id === 3 || o.id === 6, opportunitiesById))
// [ [ '2', '0' ], [ '3', '1' ] ]
I would transform your object into pairs.
So for example transforming this:
{ 1: [{id:10}, {id:20}],
2: [{id:11}, {id:21}] }
into that:
[ [1, [{id:10}, {id:20}]],
[2, [{id:11}, {id:21}]] ]
Then you can iterate over that array and reduce each array of offers to the index of the offer you're looking for. Say you're looking for offer #21, the above array would become:
[ [1, -1],
[2, 1] ]
Then you return the first tuple which second element isn't equal to -1:
[2, 1]
Here's how I'd suggest doing this:
const opportunitiesById = {
1: [ { id: 10, name: 'offer 1' },
{ id: 20, name: 'offer 2' } ],
2: [ { id: 11, name: 'offer 3' },
{ id: 21, name: 'offer 4' } ],
3: [ { id: 12, name: 'offer 5' },
{ id: 22, name: 'offer 6' } ]
};
const findOfferPath = (id, offers) =>
pipe(
toPairs,
transduce(
compose(
map(over(lensIndex(1), findIndex(propEq('id', id)))),
reject(pathEq([1], -1)),
take(1)),
concat,
[]))
(offers);
console.log(findOfferPath(21, opportunitiesById));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ramda/0.26.1/ramda.min.js"></script>
<script>const {pipe, transduce, compose, map, over, lensIndex, findIndex, propEq, reject, pathEq, take, concat, toPairs} = R;</script>
Then you can take that path to modify your offer as you see fit:
const opportunitiesById = {
1: [ { id: 10, name: 'offer 1' },
{ id: 20, name: 'offer 2' } ],
2: [ { id: 11, name: 'offer 3' },
{ id: 21, name: 'offer 4' } ],
3: [ { id: 12, name: 'offer 5' },
{ id: 22, name: 'offer 6' } ]
};
const updateOffer = (path, update, offers) =>
over(lensPath(path), assoc('name', update), offers);
console.log(updateOffer(["2", 1], '🌯', opportunitiesById));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ramda/0.26.1/ramda.min.js"></script>
<script>const {over, lensPath, assoc} = R;</script>
Here's another approach:
We start with this generator function:
function * getPaths(o, p = []) {
yield p
if (Object(o) === o)
for (let k of Object .keys (o))
yield * getPaths (o[k], [...p, k])
}
which can be used to find all the paths in an object:
const obj = {a: {x: 1, y: 3}, b: {c: 2, d: {x: 3}, e: {f: {x: 5, g: {x: 3}}}}}
;[...getPaths(obj)]
//~> [[], ["a"], ["a", "x"], ["a", "y"], ["b"], ["b", "c"], ["b", "d"],
// ["b", "d", "x"], ["b", "e"], ["b", "e", "f"], ["b", "e", "f", "x"],
// ["b", "e", "f", "g"], ["b", "e", "f", "g", "x"]]
and then, with this little helper function:
const path = (ps, o) => ps.reduce((o, p) => o[p] || {}, o)
we can write
const findPath = (predicate, o) =>
[...getPaths(o)] .find (p => predicate (path (p, o) ) )
which we can call like
console.log(
findPath (a => a.x == 3, obj)
) //~> ["b","d"]
We can then use these functions to write a simple version of your function:
const findByOfferId = (id, data) =>
findPath (o => o.id === id, data)
const opportunitiesById = {
1: [ { id: 10, name: 'offer 1' }, { id: 20, name: 'offer 2' } ],
2: [ { id: 11, name: 'offer 3' }, { id: 21, name: 'offer 4' } ],
3: [ { id: 12, name: 'offer 5' }, { id: 22, name: 'offer 6' } ]
}
console.log(
findByOfferId (22, opportunitiesById)
) //~> ["3", "1"]
console.log(
findByOfferId (42, opportunitiesById)
) //~> undefined
It is trivial to extend this to get all paths for which the value satisfies the predicate, simply replacing find with filter:
const findAllPaths = (predicate, o) =>
[...getPaths(o)] .filter (p => predicate (path(p, o) ) )
console.log(
findAllPaths (a => a.x == 3, obj)
) //=> [["b","d"],["b","e","f","g"]]
There is a concern with all this, though. Even though findPath only needs to find the first match, and even though getPaths is a generator and hence lazy, we force the full run of it with [...getPaths(o)]. So it might be worth using this uglier, more imperative version:
const findPath = (predicate, o) => {
let it = getPaths(o)
let res = it.next()
while (!res.done) {
if (predicate (path (res.value, o) ) )
return res.value
res = it.next()
}
}
This is what it looks like all together:
function * getPaths(o, p = []) {
yield p
if (Object(o) === o)
for (let k of Object .keys (o))
yield * getPaths (o[k], [...p, k])
}
const path = (ps, o) => ps.reduce ((o, p) => o[p] || {}, o)
// const findPath = (pred, o) =>
// [...getPaths(o)] .find (p => pred (path (p, o) ) )
const findPath = (predicate, o) => {
let it = getPaths(o)
let res = it.next()
while (!res.done) {
if (predicate (path (res.value, o) ) )
return res.value
res = it.next()
}
}
const obj = {a: {x: 1, y: 3}, b: {c: 2, d: {x: 3}, e: {f: {x: 5, g: {x: 3}}}}}
console.log(
findPath (a => a.x == 3, obj)
) //~> ["b","d"]
const findAllPaths = (pred, o) =>
[...getPaths(o)] .filter (p => pred (path(p, o) ) )
console.log(
findAllPaths (a => a.x == 3, obj)
) //~> [["b","d"],["b","e","f","g"]]
const findByOfferId = (id, data) =>
findPath (o => o.id === id, data)
const opportunitiesById = {
1: [ { id: 10, name: 'offer 1' }, { id: 20, name: 'offer 2' } ],
2: [ { id: 11, name: 'offer 3' }, { id: 21, name: 'offer 4' } ],
3: [ { id: 12, name: 'offer 5' }, { id: 22, name: 'offer 6' } ]
}
console.log(
findByOfferId (22, opportunitiesById)
) //~> ["3", "1"]
console.log(
findByOfferId (42, opportunitiesById)

Another brief note: the order in which the paths are generated is only one possibility. If you want to change from pre-order to post-order, you can move the yield p line in getPaths from the first line to the last one.
Finally, you asked about doing this with functional techniques, and mentioned Ramda. As the solution from customcommander shows, you can do this with Ramda. And the (excellent as always) answer from user633183 demonstrates, it's possible to do this with mainly functional techniques.
I still find this a somewhat simpler approach. Kudos to customcommander for finding a Ramda version, because Ramda is not particularly well-suited for recursive tasks, but still the obvious approach to something that has to visit the nodes of a recursive structure like a JS object is to use a recursive algorithm. I'm one of the authors of Ramda, and I haven't even tried to understand how that solution works.
Update
user633183 pointed out that this would be simpler, and still lazy:
const findPath = (predicate, o) => {
for (const p of getPaths(o))
if (predicate (path (p, o)) )
return p
}
