Return an array of objects from a recursive function in Javascript
0
I'm working on recursive functions.
I must push all objects that have the key "data: true" in an array.
The console.log in the middle of my function gives me all those objects in separate arrays.
But I can't return an array with the objects at the end.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
const entries = {
root: {
data: true,
key: "root",
text: "some text"
},
test: {
one: {
two: {
data: true,
key: "test.one.two",
text: "some text.again"
},
three: {
data: true,
key: "test.one.three",
text: "some.more.text"
}
},
other: {
data: true,
key: "test3",
text: "sometext.text"
}
},
a: {
b: {
data: true,
key: "a.b",
text: "a.b.text"
},
c: {
d: {
data: true,
key: "a.c.d",
text: "some.a.c.d"
}
}
}
};
function recursiveFunc(data) {
let tab = ;
for (let property in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
if (data[property].data === true) {
tab.push(data[property]);
console.log("t", tab);
} else {
recursiveFunc(data[property])
}
}
}
return tab
}
console.log(recursiveFunc(entries));javascript function object recursion

You are never using the result of the recursive calls. Just assign it to something and push it to the original array (or concat it, or whatever): jsfiddle.net/aco2qryn

None of the answers corrected the infinite recursion when data is false.

@Zim that's not true, my fiddle above works withfalseas a parameter as well. There is no infinite recursion in that case.

You don't return anything from nestedrecursiveFunccall.

You are never using the result of the recursive calls. Just assign it to something and push it to the original array (or concat it, or whatever): jsfiddle.net/aco2qryn

Add tab.concat() on the recursive call for join the items returned by the recursive fn.
const entries = {
root: {
data: true,
key: "root",
text: "some text"
},
test: {
one: {
two: {
data: true,
key: "test.one.two",
text: "some text.again"
},
three: {
data: true,
key: "test.one.three",
text: "some.more.text"
}
},
other: {
data: true,
key: "test3",
text: "sometext.text"
}
},
a: {
b: {
data: true,
key: "a.b",
text: "a.b.text"
},
c: {
d: {
data: true,
key: "a.c.d",
text: "some.a.c.d"
}
}
}
};
function recursiveFunc(data) {
let tab = ;
for (let property in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
if (data[property].data === true) {
tab.push(data[property]);
console.log("t", tab);

You can pass an array as second argument that will act as an accumulator.
Plus, I fixed your function that loops infinitely when data = false:
function recursiveFunc(data, acc) {
for (let property in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(property) && typeof data[property] === "object") {
var current = data[property];
if (current.data === true) {
acc.push(current);
} else {
recursiveFunc(current, acc)
}
}
}
}
Usage:
var results = ;
recursiveFunc(entries, results);
console.log(results);

You could use a global variable.
const entries = { ... };
var tab = ;
function getTab(data) {
tab = ;
recursiveFunc(data);
return tab;
}
function recursiveFunc(data) {
for (let property in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(property) && typeof data[property] === "object") {
if (data[property].data === true) {
tab.push(data[property]);
} else {
recursiveFunc(data[property])
}
}
}
}
getTab(entries);

Infinite recursion when there is adata = false. See corrected answer: stackoverflow.com/a/53429407/2898738

You can pass an array as second argument that will act as an accumulator.
Plus, I fixed your function that loops infinitely when data = false:
function recursiveFunc(data, acc) {
for (let property in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(property) && typeof data[property] === "object") {
var current = data[property];
if (current.data === true) {
acc.push(current);
} else {
recursiveFunc(current, acc)
}
}
}
}
Usage:
var results = ;
recursiveFunc(entries, results);
console.log(results);

You could use a global variable.
const entries = { ... };
var tab = ;
function getTab(data) {
tab = ;
recursiveFunc(data);
return tab;
}
function recursiveFunc(data) {
for (let property in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(property) && typeof data[property] === "object") {
if (data[property].data === true) {
tab.push(data[property]);
} else {
recursiveFunc(data[property])
}
}
}
}
getTab(entries);

You don't return anything from nested

You are never using the result of the recursive calls. Just assign it to something and push it to the original array (or concat it, or whatever): jsfiddle.net/aco2qryn

Thanks a lot briosheje, it works now. I had tried something like this but forgot the spread operator.

None of the answers corrected the infinite recursion when data is false.

Nov 22 '18 at 11:00
@Zim that's not true, my fiddle above works with
falseas a parameter as well. There is no infinite recursion in that case.– briosheje
