How to get the key value from nested object - javascript

I am having below object where I am trying to get all the id values.
[{
"type": "test",
"id": "100",
"values": {
"name": "Alpha"
},
"validations": []
}, {
"type": "services",
"validations": [{
"id": "200",
"name": "John",
"selection": [{
"id": "300",
"values": {
"name": "Blob"
}
}]
}]
}]
Using the below code, I am getting only the first id value. Is there any way to get all the id values from the nested object without using any external module.
for (var prop in obj) {
console.log(prop)
if (prop === key) {
set.push(prop);
}
}
Expected Output
[100,200,300] //all id values

You can use a JavaScript function like below to get the nested properties:
function findProp(obj, key, out) {
var i,
proto = Object.prototype,
ts = proto.toString,
hasOwn = proto.hasOwnProperty.bind(obj);
if ('[object Array]' !== ts.call(out)) out = [];
for (i in obj) {
if (hasOwn(i)) {
if (i === key) {
out.push(obj[i]);
} else if ('[object Array]' === ts.call(obj[i]) || '[object Object]' === ts.call(obj[i])) {
findProp(obj[i], key, out);
}
}
}
return out;
}
Check this Fiddle for a working solution.

Using Object.keys
function findProp(obj, prop) {
var result = [];
function recursivelyFindProp(o, keyToBeFound) {
Object.keys(o).forEach(function (key) {
if (typeof o[key] === 'object') {
recursivelyFindProp(o[key], keyToBeFound);
} else {
if (key === keyToBeFound) result.push(o[key]);
}
});
}
recursivelyFindProp(obj, prop);
return result;
}
// Testing:
var arr = [{
"type": "test",
"id": "100",
"values": {
"name": "Alpha"
},
"validations": []
}, {
"type": "services",
"validations": [{
"id": "200",
"name": "John",
"selection": [{
"id": "300",
"values": {
"name": "Blob"
}
}]
}]
}];
console.log(findProp(arr, "id"));

To get the keys from nested objects, you first need to put your code in a function, then for each of the top-level keys, check if it's an array or object. If it is, just call your function again from within that function (weird, I know.) Just make sure you don't skip the check of whether it's an object. You'll get stuck in an infinite loop. Something like this:
function parseObjectKeys(obj) {
for (var prop in obj) {
console.log(prop)
var sub = obj[prop]
if (typeof(sub) == "object") {
parseObjectKeys(sub);
}
}
}
Here's a more complex example:

You can use a XPath styled json parser like JSONPath. The version I'm presenting here is a extended version I did here:
function jsonPath(obj,expr,arg){var P={resultType:arg&&arg.resultType||"VALUE",result:[],normalize:function(e){var t=[];return e.replace(/[\['](\??\(.*?\))[\]']/g,function(e,r){return"[#"+(t.push(r)-1)+"]"}).replace(/'?\.'?|\['?/g,";").replace(/;;;|;;/g,";..;").replace(/;$|'?\]|'$/g,"").replace(/#([0-9]+)/g,function(e,r){return t[r]})},asPath:function(e){for(var t=e.split(";"),r="$",a=1,n=t.length;n>a;a++)r+=/^[0-9*]+$/.test(t[a])?"["+t[a]+"]":"['"+t[a]+"']";return r},store:function(e,t){return e&&(P.result[P.result.length]="PATH"==P.resultType?P.asPath(e):t),!!e},trace:function(e,t,r){if(e){var a=e.split(";"),n=a.shift();if(a=a.join(";"),t&&t.hasOwnProperty(n))P.trace(a,t[n],r+";"+n);else if("*"===n)P.walk(n,a,t,r,function(e,t,r,a,n){P.trace(e+";"+r,a,n)});else if(".."===n)P.trace(a,t,r),P.walk(n,a,t,r,function(e,t,r,a,n){"object"==typeof a[e]&&P.trace("..;"+r,a[e],n+";"+e)});else if(/,/.test(n))for(var l=n.split(/'?,'?/),s=0,c=l.length;c>s;s++)P.trace(l[s]+";"+a,t,r);else/^\(.*?\)$/.test(n)?P.trace(P.eval(n,t,r.substr(r.lastIndexOf(";")+1))+";"+a,t,r):/^\?\(.*?\)$/.test(n)?P.walk(n,a,t,r,function(e,t,r,a,n){P.eval(t.replace(/^\?\((.*?)\)$/,"$1"),a[e],e)&&P.trace(e+";"+r,a,n)}):/^(-?[0-9]*):(-?[0-9]*):?([0-9]*)$/.test(n)&&P.slice(n,a,t,r)}else P.store(r,t)},walk:function(e,t,r,a,n){if(r instanceof Array)for(var l=0,s=r.length;s>l;l++)l in r&&n(l,e,t,r,a);else if("object"==typeof r)for(var c in r)r.hasOwnProperty(c)&&n(c,e,t,r,a)},slice:function(e,t,r,a){if(r instanceof Array){var n=r.length,l=0,s=n,c=1;e.replace(/^(-?[0-9]*):(-?[0-9]*):?(-?[0-9]*)$/g,function(e,t,r,a){l=parseInt(t||l),s=parseInt(r||s),c=parseInt(a||c)}),l=0>l?Math.max(0,l+n):Math.min(n,l),s=0>s?Math.max(0,s+n):Math.min(n,s);for(var o=l;s>o;o+=c)P.trace(o+";"+t,r,a)}},eval:function(x,_v,_vname){try{return $&&_v&&eval(x.replace(/#/g,"_v"))}catch(e){throw new SyntaxError("jsonPath: "+e.message+": "+x.replace(/#/g,"_v").replace(/\^/g,"_a"))}}},$=obj;return expr&&obj&&("VALUE"==P.resultType||"PATH"==P.resultType)?(P.trace(P.normalize(expr).replace(/^\$;/,""),obj,"$"),P.result.length?P.result:!1):void 0}
// some extensions I have added to JSONPath
var jsonPathStore = function(obj,path,values) {
var maps=jsonPath(obj, path,{resultType:"PATH"})
maps.map(function(item,index) {
return eval( '(' + item.replace(/\$/,"obj") + '="' + values[index] +'"' + ')' );

var jsonPathDelete = function(obj,path) {
var maps=jsonPath(obj, path,{resultType:"PATH"})
maps.map(function(item,index) {
return eval( '(' + 'delete ' + item.replace(/\$/,"obj") + ')' );
})
}
var jsonPathRead = function(obj,path) {
var maps=jsonPath(obj, path,{resultType:"PATH"})
return maps.map(function(item,index) {

Get values for a matching key recursively from object

I have this json object
{
"data": {
"user": {
"user_info": {
"id": "AoGC2HQ9vedHmzcMX"
},
"product": [
{
"node": {
"id": "NzcxNzU2ODU1ODM1",
"feedback": {
"raters": {
"nodes": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Dan"
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Allen"
},
{
"id": "3",
"name": "Williams"
}
]
},
"commentors": {
"nodes": [
{
"id": "001",
"name": "Kent"
},
{
"id": "002",
"name": "Jay"
}
]
}
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
So how do I make it to get values of id If the parent property matches the desired key name, In this example I want to get all id's from raters.nodes only.
so expected result is
[1,2,3]
I know can do obj.data.user.product[0].node.feedback.raters.nodes and loop through that, but that is not how I want and the object tree occasionally changes.
I have used this recursive function
const recursiveSearch = (obj, searchKey, results = []) => {
const r = results;
Object.keys(obj).forEach(key => {
const value = obj[key];
if(key === searchKey && typeof value !== 'object'){
r.push(value);
}else if(typeof value === 'object'){
recursiveSearch(value, searchKey, r);
}
});
return r;
};
//returns all id's
While it works, it returns all id values, so how do I improve it? If not, how do I make this possible?
I think you want to really do this in 2 steps,..
First make a function to get the root node your looking for, and then you can just use map like normal.
Below is an example.
var data = JSON.parse("{\"data\":{\"user\":{\"user_info\":{\"id\":\"AoGC2HQ9vedHmzcMX\"},\"product\":[{\"node\":{\"id\":\"NzcxNzU2ODU1ODM1\",\"feedback\":{\"raters\":{\"nodes\":[{\"id\":\"1\",\"name\":\"Dan\"},{\"id\":\"2\",\"name\":\"Allen\"},{\"id\":\"3\",\"name\":\"Williams\"}]},\"commentors\":{\"nodes\":[{\"id\":\"001\",\"name\":\"Kent\"},{\"id\":\"002\",\"name\":\"Jay\"}]}}}}]}}}");
function getRoot(data, search) {
function get(path, data) {
for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(data)) {
if (v instanceof Object) {
const pp = `${path}.${k}`;
if (pp.slice(-search.length) === search) {
return v;
}
const r = get(`${path}.${k}`, v);
if (r) return r;
}
}
}
return get('', data);
}
const r = getRoot(data, 'raters.nodes');
console.log(r && r.map(i => i.id));

how to insert json file into javascript

I have a simple problem but i cann't solve it!!! I have a simple json file with points.. Every single point has coordinates (long,lat) and an id. This file i want to insert into a table in javascript with JsFiddle. (Afterwards, i want to use every single pair of coordinates in order to create one another feature and to export also a json file with coordinates and this feature but this is not my problem right now :P ). I enclosed this json file.. Thank you have a nice day! :)
My json file:
{
"displayFieldName": "",
"fieldAliases": {
"FID": "FID",
"Id": "Id",
"Longtitude": "Longtitude",
"Latitude": "Latitude"
},
"geometryType": "esriGeometryPoint",
"spatialReference": {
"wkid": 4326,
"latestWkid": 4326
},
"fields": [{
"name": "FID",
"type": "esriFieldTypeOID",
"alias": "FID"
}, {
"name": "Id",
"type": "esriFieldTypeInteger",

"x": 23.735700000000001,

}
}]
}
You have to parse your file.
var fileContent = readTextFile("file:///C:/your/path/to/file.txt");
fielContent = JSON.parse(fileContent);
after this you can do with your json what you want, e.g take each coordinates
fileContent.features.each(function(point) {
console.log(point.geometry.x + " " + point.geometry.y);
});
Make sure that you modify for your needs.
You could try this.
To load your JSON:
function loadJSON(file,callback) {
var xobj = new XMLHttpRequest();
xobj.overrideMimeType('application/json');
xobj.open('GET', file, true);
xobj.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xobj.readyState == 4 && xobj.status == '200') {
// Required use of an anonymous callback as .open will NOT return a value but simply returns undefined in asynchronous mode
callback(xobj.responseText);
}
};
xobj.send(null);
}
To search through it and get whatever you want:
//return an array of objects according to key, value, or key and value matching
function getObjects(obj, key, val) {
var objects = [];
for (var i in obj) {
if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
if (typeof obj[i] == 'object') {
objects = objects.concat(getObjects(obj[i], key, val));
} else
//if key matches and value matches or if key matches and value is not passed (eliminating the case where key matches but passed value does not)
if (i == key && obj[i] == val || i == key && val == '') { //
objects.push(obj);
} else if (obj[i] == val && key == ''){
//only add if the object is not already in the array
if (objects.lastIndexOf(obj) == -1){
objects.push(obj);
}
}
}
return objects;
}
//return an array of values that match on a certain key
function getValues(obj, key) {
var objects = [];
for (var i in obj) {
if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
if (typeof obj[i] == 'object') {
objects = objects.concat(getValues(obj[i], key));
} else if (i == key) {
objects.push(obj[i]);
}
}
return objects;
}
//return an array of keys that match on a certain value
function getKeys(obj, val) {
var objects = [];
for (var i in obj) {
if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
if (typeof obj[i] == 'object') {
objects = objects.concat(getKeys(obj[i], val));
} else if (obj[i] == val) {
objects.push(i);
}
}
return objects;
}
Example:
loadJSON('index.json', function(text){
var data = JSON.parse(text);
console.log(data);
var files = getObjects(data, 'type', 'file');
var fileNames = getValues(files, 'name');
var directories = getObjects(data, 'type','directory');
var directoryNames = getValues(directories, 'name');
});
Please try this
.json file
[
{
"Dzień": 1,
"Dyżur nocny": "Błotna 3",
"Dyżur świąteczny": "Wojska Polskiego "
},
{
"Dzień": 2,
"Dyżur nocny": "Zachlapana 9",
"Dyżur świąteczny": ""
}
]
.js file
(async function() {
const url = "s21.json";
const data = await (await fetch(url)).json();
console.log(data[1]);
})();

Create Hashmap like implementation using java-script for json

I am looking to create hashmap like array which will contain key and value derived from another array which has nested objects.
so i am trying the following code.
var testhash={},data=[
{
"yang_type": "container",
"name": "c1",
"value": "",
"children": [
{
"yang_type": "container",
"name": "c2",
"value": "",
"children": [
{
"yang_type": "list",
"name": "Car",
"value": "",
"children": [
{
"yang_type": "leaf",
"name": "wheels",
"value": "",
"children": [
{
"name": "max-elements",
"value": "4",
"children": [],
"yang_type": ""
}
]
}
]
},
{
"yang_type": "",
"name": "text",
"value": "4",
"children": []
}
]
}
]
}
];
var k='';
function loop1(a, depth) {
var l,s='';
if(depth){s += '/';}
k=k+a.yang_type+a.name+a.value;
v=Array(depth + 1).join(s) + a.yang_type+a.name+a.value;
testhash.push(k:v);
//console.log(l);
//console.log(Array(depth + 1).join("/") + a.yang_type,a.name,a.value);
//hashServiceParams.push(Array(depth + 1).join("/") + a.yang_type,a.name,a.value);
Array.isArray(a.children) && a.children.forEach(function(child) {
loop1(child, depth + 1);
});
}
console.log(testhash);
The output, I am expecting is
{"containerc1":*,"containerc2":"containerc1/containerc2","listcar":"containerc1/containerc2/listcar","leafwheels":"containerc1/containerc2/listcar/leafwheels","max-elements":"containerc1/containerc2/listcar/leafwheels/max-elements","text4":"containerc1/text4"}
The above array will act as an hash map that contains key and value , where value stores the part of that data in the tree structure.
my code just calculates the depth and adds / to each level it moves down but i expect the output to be as shown above. Any recommendation coders ?
The following should do the trick (use either version according to your needs):
ECMAScript 6:
function parseData(data, prefix) {
let result = {};
data.forEach(o => {
const key = `${o.yang_type}${o.name}`;
result[key] = prefix ? `${prefix}/${key}` : '*';
if (o.children) {
const newPrefix = prefix ? `${prefix}/${key}` : key;
result = Object.assign(result, parseData(o.children, newPrefix));
}
});
return result;
}
ECMAScript 5:
function shallowMerge(obj1,obj2){
var obj3 = {};
for (var attrname in obj1) { obj3[attrname] = obj1[attrname]; }
for (var attrname in obj2) { obj3[attrname] = obj2[attrname]; }
return obj3;
}
function parseData(data, prefix) {
var result = {};
data.forEach(function (o) {
var key = '' + o.yang_type + o.name;
result[key] = prefix ? prefix + '/' + key : '*';
if (o.children) {
var newPrefix = prefix ? prefix + '/' + key : key;
result = shallowMerge(result, parseData(o.children, newPrefix));
}
});
return result;
}
In order to use it you simply need to do the following:
let testhash = parseData(data);
This will populate the testHash with the result you need.

Compare two arrays and update with the new values by keeping the existing objects using javascript

Below are my two arrays .I want to compare them and the resultant array should contain the updated values.Id's are common..
The arrays spans to n levels ie., there is no fixed levels..
The first array ie., the array before updation..
var parentArray1=[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "test",
"context": [
{
"id": 1.1,
"name": "test 1.1"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "test"
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "test",
"context": [
{
"id": 3.1,
"name": "test 3.1"
}
]
},
{
"id": 4,
"name": "test"
}
]
The operations that i performed are
1.Adding a new Item
2.Updating an existing item
As a result of these two operations the changed values I will be getting in a different array..
ie.,
var changedArray=
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "test1",
"context": [
{
"id": 1.1,
"name": "Changed test 1.1"
}
]
},
{
"id": 5,
"name": "test5"
}
]
Now I have written a generic function that loops through the parentArray1 and using the unique propertiesI need to either add a new item,if the item is there in the changedArray or update an existing item at any level
The resultant array should be ..
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "test",
"context": [
{
"id": 1.1,
"name": "Changed test 1.1"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "test"
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "test",
"context": [
{
"id": 3.1,
"name": "test 3.1"
}
]
},
{
"id": 4,
"name": "test"
},
{
"id": 5,
"name": "test5"
}
]
Generic function:
compareArray(parentArray1, changedArray, ["id"]);
function compareArray(array1, array2, propertyArray) {
var newItem = new Array();
array2.map(function(a1Item) {
array1.map(function(a2Item) {
/ If array loop again /
if (a2Item.constructor === Array) {
compareArray(a2Item, a1Item)
} else {
/ loop the property name to validate /
propertyArray.map(function(property) {
if (a2Item[property]) {
if (a2Item[property] === a1Item[property]) {
a2Item = a1Item
} else {
var isAvailable = _.find(newItem, function(item) {
return item[property] === a1Item[property]
})
if (!isAvailable) {
newItem.push(a1Item);
}
}
}
})
}
});
});
/ Insert the new item into the source array /
newItem.map(function(item) {
array1.push(item);
});
console.log("After Compare : " + array1);
}
I suggest to use a temporary object for the reference to the id and update if exist or push if not exist.
var parentArray1 = [{ "id": 1, "name": "test", "context": [{ "id": 1.1, "name": "test 1.1" }] }, { "id": 2, "name": "test" }, { "id": 3, "name": "test", "context": [{ "id": 3.1, "name": "test 3.1" }] }, { "id": 4, "name": "test" }],
changedArray = [{ "id": 1, "name": "test1", "context": [{ "id": 1.1, "name": "Changed test 1.1" }] }, { "id": 5, "name": "test5" }];
function insert(array, data) {
function iter(array) {
array.forEach(function (a) {
if (!('id' in a)) {
return;
}
if (o[a.id] !== a) {
o[a.id] = a;
}
Object.keys(a).forEach(function (k) {
Array.isArray(a[k]) && iter(a[k]);
});
});
}
var o = {};
iter(array);
data.forEach(function (a) {
if (o[a.id]) {
Object.keys(a).forEach(function (k) {
o[a.id][k] = a[k];
});
return;
}
array.push(a);
});
}
insert(parentArray1, changedArray);
document.write('<pre>' + JSON.stringify(parentArray1, 0, 4) + '</pre>');
This is what I came up with:
function sameKeys(o1, o2, keys) {
for (var i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
var key = keys[i];
if (!o1.hasOwnProperty(key) || !o2.hasOwnProperty(key))
throw 'compared objects do not have the key ' + key;
if (o1[key] !== o2[key])
return false;
}
return true;
}
function isNothing(o) {
return typeof(o) === 'undefined' || o === null;
}
// this does not work if objects have functions as properties
function clone(o) {
if (isNothing(o))
return o;
return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(o));
}
function extend(o1, o2, keys) {
if (isNothing(o2))
return;
if (isNothing(o1))
throw ('first parameter cannot be empty');
if (typeof(o1) != 'object' || typeof(o2) != 'object')
throw ('extend only works on objects');
Object.keys(o2).forEach(function (key) {
var newVal = o2[key];
if (o1.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
if (isNothing(newVal)) {
delete o1[key];
} else
if (Array.isArray(newVal)) {
compareArray(o1[key], newVal, keys);
} else {
switch (typeof(newVal)) {
case 'object':
extend(o1[key], newVal, keys);
break;
case 'boolean':
case 'number':
case 'string':
o1[key] = newVal;
break;
default:
throw 'not supported property type: ' + typeof(newVal);
}
}
} else {
o1[key] = clone(newVal);
}
});
}
function removeFromArray(arr, ids, keyArray) {
var indexes = [];
var it1s = arr.forEach(function (it, idx) {

Object.keys(it).forEach(function (key) {

var it1;

}
if (it2.removedIds) {
it2.removedIds.forEach(function (ids) {
removeFromArray(a1, ids, keyArray);
});
}
});
}
Use it with compareArray(parentArray1,changedArray,['id']);
Note that it would not work with objects that contain functions. Also, if the arrays would be large, perhaps a better solution is to sort both arrays by key, then always look from the last found object up. That's all I got for now.
Updated it with some concepts from Nina and some clearing of the code.
As I understood it, you only want to add properties. So extend({a: {b: 2}},{a:{c:3}}) will result in {a: {b:2,c:3}}. If this is not what you wanted, let me know.
I also added functionality for removing ids. If any of the objects in the array contains a removedIds array of the form [{id: 4},{id: 5}] then the items with those ids will be removed from the original array.
Slight modification on code, to satisfy your conditions. Try it!
function compareArray(originalArray, destinationArray, propertyArray) {
var newItem = new Array(), processedItem = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < originalArray.length; i++) {
var sourceElement = originalArray[i];
for (var j = 0; j < destinationArray.length; j++) {
var destinationElement = destinationArray[j];
var isUpdated = false;
if (sourceElement.constructor === Array) {
compareArray(sourceElement, destinationElement, propertyArray);
} else {
/* loop the property name to validate */
propertyArray.map(function(property) {
if (sourceElement[property]) {
if (sourceElement[property] === destinationElement[property]) {
originalArray[i] = _.clone(destinationElement);
isUpdated = true;
return;
} else {
var isAvailable = _.find(newItem, function(item) {
return item[property] === destinationElement[property];
});
if (!isAvailable) {
var isAlreadyProcessed = _.find(processedItem, function(item) {
return item[property] === destinationElement[property];
});
if(!isAlreadyProcessed){
newItem.push(destinationElement);
}
}
}
}
});
}
if (isUpdated === true) {
break;
}
}
processedItem.push(sourceElement);
}
newItem.map(function(item) {
originalArray.push(item);
});
return originalArray;
}

How to display a specifc path from JSON tree depending on the leaves values?

I have a question regarding displaying a path from a tree depending on the value of the leaf, for example I have the following JSON :
{
"children":
[
{
"children":
[
{
"name": "Predict Conversion"
}
],
"name": "Browser ID in {1}"
},
{
"children":
[
{
"name": "Predict Click"
}
],
"name": "Browser ID not in {1}"
}
],
"name": "Device Type ID in {1,3,4}"
}
I want to display only the full path leading to the leaf with value = "Predict Conversion"
You can use recursion to loop over object. Use Array.isArray to test if value is of type Array and typeof(obj)==="object" for object.
Note: typeof(obj) will return object for both Array and for Object
function searchInObj(obj, value, result) {
// check for array and call for every item
if (Array.isArray(obj)) {
// primary flag for array.
var r = false;
obj.forEach(function(item, index) {
// temporary flag for every iteration.
var _r = searchInObj(item, value, result);
if (_r) result.push(index)
// if one of element returned true, array should return true.
r = _r || r;
});
return r;
}
// If Object, loop over properties
else if (typeof(obj) === "object") {
for (var k in obj) {
// If object, check if property is Object/Array and call self.
if (typeof(obj[k]) === "object") {
var r = searchInObj(obj[k], value, result);
if (r) result.push(k);
return r;
}
// If property is not Array/Object, match value
else if (obj[k] === value) {
result.push(k);
return true;
}
// If no match, return false
else {
return false;
}
}
}
}
var data = {
"children": [{
"children": [{
"name": "Predict Conversion"
}],
"name": "Browser ID in {1}"
}, {
"children": [{
"name": "Predict Click"
}],
"name": "Browser ID not in {1}"
}],
"name": "Device Type ID in {1,3,4}"
}
var result = []
searchInObj(data, "Predict Conversion", result);
document.write("<pre>" + JSON.stringify(result.reverse(), 0, 4) + "</pre>");
Note: For small JSON, this will work but if your JSON is very long, this can be very expensive operation.
You can use recursion for it.
Quick example
var tree = {
"children": [{
"children": [{
"name": "Predict Conversion"
}],
"name": "Browser ID in {1}"
}, {
"children": [{
"name": "Predict Click"
}],
"name": "Browser ID not in {1}"
}],
"name": "Device Type ID in {1,3,4}"
};
console.debug(tree);
function getPath(node, value){
if(typeof node.children !== "undefined" && node.children !== null){
for(var index in node.children){
var name = getPath(node.children[index], value);
if(name) {
return node.name+"."+name;
}
}
} else {
if(node.name === value){
return node.name;
}
return false;
}
}
console.log(getPath(tree, "Predict Conversion"))
