How to Project Nested Arrays in JavaScript for Angular Material Tree-View

Working with nested arrays can often present challenges, especially when you're trying to format them for specific use cases like displaying data in a tree-view component. If you're using Angular Material, you might be wondering how to project and reduce an array of nested data into a suitable format. In this guide, we'll walk you through solving this common issue step by step.

Understanding the Problem

You might have a data structure similar to the one below, where each outer object represents a section and may contain blocks and subsections:

Your goal is to transform this data into a format required by the Angular Material tree-view:

Key Transformation Points

Each section becomes an object with a name property and a children array.

Each block name appears as an object inside the children array.

Handle subsections recursively to ensure their structure is preserved.

Solution: Implementing the Conversion

Using Recursion

To achieve the formatting, we can utilize a simple recursive function. The primary complexity here is to consolidate the results of processing both blocks and sections into a single children array.

Step-by-step Implementation

Define the convert function that takes in the records.

Map through each record to extract necessary properties: section_name, blocks, and sections.

Format the output by creating an object with name and children keys. For children, combine both blocks and the recursively converted sections.

Here's the JavaScript code that successfully implements this conversion:

Explanation of the Code

records.map iterates over each item in the input array.

Each item is transformed to an object that contains the section name.

blocks.map generates an array of block objects.

convert(sections) recursively fetches any subsections and adds them under the children array.

Conclusion

By following this approach, you can easily project and reduce your nested arrays into the desired format for Angular Material tree-view. The use of recursion effectively handles any depth of nested sections and ensures a clean, organized structure that your application can readily consume.

Feel free to adapt and expand upon this solution for your specific use cases. Happy coding!
