I am trying to use use the following JSON data to create the following similar structure in a recursive inner function with not much luck, really need some help and so if anyone can assist please do. Thank you in advance.
<ul>
<li></li>
<li>
<a href=></a>
<div>
<ul>
<li>
<a href=></a>
<div>
....etc
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
the JSON data I am using is as follows:
var JSON = {
menu: [
{id: '0',sub: [
{name: 'lorem ipsum 0-0',link: '0-0', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 0-1',link: '0-1', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 0-2',link: '0-2', sub: null}
]
},
{id: '1',sub: null},
{id: '2',sub: [
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-0',link: '2-0', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-1',link: '2-1', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2',link: '2-2', sub: [
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2-0',link: '2-2-0', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2-1',link: '2-2-1', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2-2',link: '2-2-2', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2-3',link: '2-2-3', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2-4',link: '2-2-4', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2-5',link: '2-2-5', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-2-6',link: '2-2-6', sub: null}
]},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-3',link: '2-3', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-4',link: '2-4', sub: null},
{name: 'lorem ipsum 2-5',link: '2-5', sub: null}
]
},
{id: '3',sub: null}
]
}
and the code I have created (incomplete, this is the brain teaser I need help on) is:
$(function(){
$.fn.dropdown = function(settings){
var that = this;
var settings = $.extend({}, $.fn.dropdown.defaults, settings);
var methods = {
isArray: function(o){
return Object.prototype.toString.call(o) === '[object Array]';
},
createDropdownCode: function(arr){
var menu = arr.menu;
var html = null;
var menusort = function(menu){
html = that;
that.find(li).each(function(idx){
var menuList = menu[idx].sub;
var baseContainer = $(this);
var count = -1;
var subsort = (function(){
count += 1;
return function(submenu, pb){
var subblock;
subblock = $(<div />).append('<ul />');
if(methods.isArray(submenu)){
for(var i=0;i<submenu.length;i++){
var l = $(<li />).append(<a href='+ submenu[i].link +'>+ submenu[i].name +</a>);
subblock.find('ul').append(l);
if(pb !== undefined && i == submenu.length-1){
pb.append(subblock)
}
if(methods.isArray(submenu[i].sub)){
subsort(submenu[i].sub, subblock.find('ul li').eq(i));
}
}
}
}
})()
subsort(menuList)
})
}
menusort(menu);
return null; //html !== null ? html.html() : null;
},
init: function(){
// filter through json
// create the div=>ul=>li
if(settings.jsonData === undefined || settings.jsonData === null){
console.warn('No JSON Data passed')
return;
}else{
if(!methods.isArray(settings.jsonData.menu)){
console.warn('No JSON Data passed')
return; // error, no data!
}
}
//var html = methods.createBlock(settings.jsonData.menu[0].sub);
var html = methods.createDropdownCode(settings.jsonData);
//console.log(html)
}
}
methods.init();
return that;
}
$.fn.dropdown.defaults = {
jsonData: null
}
})
$('#menu').dropdown({
jsonData: JSON
});
integrated code used, thanks to the individual that gave a close enough answer - Although will study the others.
$.fn.dropdown = function(settings){
var that = this;
var settings = $.extend({}, $.fn.dropdown.defaults, settings);
var methods = {
createDropDownCode: function(arr){
// loop through li's of primary menu
that.find(li).each(function(idx){
$(this).append( menusort(arr.menu[idx].sub) );
function menusort(data){
if(data !== null)
var html = <div><ul>;
for(item in data){
html += <li>;
if(typeof(data[item].sub) === 'object'){
html += <a href=' + data[item].link + '> + data[item].name + </a>;
if($.isArray(data[item].sub))
html += menusort(data[item].sub);
}
html += </li>
}
if(data !== null)
html += </ul></div>;
return html;
}
})
},
init: function(){
var html = methods.createDropDownCode(settings.jsonData);
}
}
methods.init();
}
