JSONHelper

JSONHelper is a utility for efficiently traversing and manipulating nested JSON objects. It helps users search for nodes, retrieve parents, find siblings, and more, in hierarchical or tree-structured data. This is the modernization of dabeng/json-digger.

Features

• findNodeById: Retrieve a node by its unique ID.
• findOneNode: Find the first node that satisfies specified conditions.
• findNodes: Retrieve all nodes that match the provided conditions.
• findParent: Get the parent node of a given node by its ID.
• findSiblings: Retrieve the sibling nodes of a given node.
• findAncestors: Get the ancestors of a node.
• addChildren: Add child nodes to a given node.
• addSiblings: Add sibling nodes to a given node.
• addRoot: Replace the root node.
• updateNode: Update a single node's information.
• updateNodes: Update multiple nodes' information.
• removeNode: Remove a node by its ID.
• removeNodes: Remove multiple nodes by their IDs or conditions.

Installation

npm install json-helper

Usage

import { JSONHelper } from 'json-helper';

const datasource = {
  pk: '1',
  name: 'Lao Lao',
  title: 'general manager',
  inferiors: [/* Nested children */]
};

const helper = JSONHelper({
  datasource,
  idProp: 'pk',
  childrenProp: 'inferiors'
});

const node = helper.findNodeById('1');  // Find node by ID

Methods

findNodeById(id)

Find a node by its ID.

const node = helper.findNodeById('1');

findOneNode(conditions)

Find the first node that matches a set of conditions.

const node = helper.findOneNode({ name: 'Xiang Xiang' });

findNodes(conditions)

Find all nodes matching the conditions.

const nodes = helper.findNodes({ title: /engineer/i });

findParent(id)

Find the parent of a node by its ID.

const parent = helper.findParent('2');

findSiblings(id)

Find the siblings of a node by its ID.

const siblings = helper.findSiblings('2');

findAncestors(id)

Get the ancestors of a node.

const ancestors = helper.findAncestors('6');

addChildren(id, data)

Add child nodes to a given node.

helper.addChildren('2', { pk: '11', name: 'New Child' });

addSiblings(id, data)

Add sibling nodes to a given node.

helper.addSiblings('2', { pk: '11', name: 'New Sibling' });

addRoot(data)

Replace the root node with new data.

helper.addRoot({ pk: '11', name: 'New Root' });

updateNode(data)

Update the properties of a node.

helper.updateNode({ pk: '1', name: 'Updated Name' });

updateNodes(ids, data)

Update multiple nodes' properties.

helper.updateNodes(['1', '2'], { title: 'New Title' });

removeNode(id)

Remove a node by its ID.

helper.removeNode('2');

removeNodes(param)

Remove multiple nodes based on IDs or conditions.

helper.removeNodes(['2', '3']);
