'Get all parents ids from id list in nested object in javascript
So I have an array of objects which have all nested children property. It is in front-end a treeview, which should expand the nodes until selected ones, for each id in a list. To be able to do this, I have to get all the parents ids for each selected id from the list.
For example, my list of checkedKeys ids:
[16787217, 16787245, 16787266, 16787270, 16787272, 16787265, 16787264]
All the checked items represents the ids from the list object:
My object list looks like this:
[
{
"id": 11,
"name": "Forecast source",
"value": null,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Item Type",
"value": null,
"children": []
},
{
"id": 16787217,
"name": "Item@Cust",
"value": null,
"children": [
{
"id": 16787230,

},

So my problem is that I can't figure out how to get all parents nodes ids recursively until the root level and push them into the expandedKeys array.
I tried to implement a function like this:
this.list.forEach(el => {
this.setExpandedNodes(el);
});
setExpandedNodes(node: PropertyNode) {
if (node.children) {
node.children.forEach(chld => {
this.checkedKeys.forEach(key => {
if (chld.id === key) {
this.expandedKeys.push(node.id);
} else if (chld.children) {
chld.children.forEach(grChld => {
this.setExpandedNodes(grChld);
});
}
});
});
}
}
But I can't figure out how to get all parent ids starting from each selected id until the root level. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks to this answer I managed to do it.
getPath(model, id) {
let path,
item = model.id ;
if (!model || typeof model !== 'object') {
return;
}
if (model.id === id) {
return [item];
}
(model.children || []).some(child => (path = this.getPath(child, id)));
return path && [item, ...path];
}
setExpandedKeys() {
if (this.checkedKeys && this.checkedKeys.length > 0) {
this.checkedKeys.forEach(k => {
this.list.forEach(
mt => {
const result = this.getPath(mt, k);
if (result) {
this.expandedKeys.push(...result);
}
}
);
});
}
}
this.setExpandedKeys();
I have now all the parents ids until the root.

A function that returns an array of parent objects may look like this:
Using tree-model-js:
const getParentsById = (id, data) => {
var TreeModel = require('tree-model')
const tree = new TreeModel()
let path
for (let item of data) {
const root = tree.parse(item)
root.walk(function (node) {
// Halt the traversal by returning false
if (node.model.id === id) {
path = node.getPath()
return false;
}
});
}
path.pop()
return path.map(item => item.model)
}
Without using tree-model-js:
const getParentsById = (id, data) => {
const isFoundChild = (id, data, parents) => {
if (data.find(item => item.id == id)) {
return true;
}
else {
for (let item of data) {
if (item.children.length)
if (isFoundChild(id, item.children)) {
parents.push(item);
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
const parents = [];
if (data.find(item => item.id == id))
return [];
else {
for (let item of data) {
if (item.children.length)
if (isFoundChild(id, item.children, parents)) {
parents.push(item);
return parents;
}
}
}
}
Next, it is enough to apply map() to the result:
let parentsId = getParentsById(16787296, data).map(item => item.id)
