lodash property search in array and in nested child arrays

rated 0 times [ 50] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 33309 / 9 Years ago, mon, june 8, 2015, 12:00:00

I have this array:

[

    {

        id: 1,

        name: 'test 1',

        children: []

    },

    {

        id: 2,

        name: 'test 2',

        children: [

            {

                id: 4,

                name: 'test 4'

            }

        ]

    },

    {

        id: 3,

        name: 'test 3',

        children: []

    }

]

How can I filter by the id property in both this array and the nested children arrays?

For example, searching for id = 3, should return the test 3 object, and searching for id = 4 should return the test 4 object.

Using lodash, you can do something like this:

_(data)

    .thru(function(coll) {

        return _.union(coll, _.map(coll, 'children') || []);

    })

    .flatten()

    .find({ id: 4 });

Here, thru() is used to initialize the wrapped value. It's returning the union of the original array, and the nested children. This array structure is then flattened using flatten(), so you can find() the item.
