Javascript JSON/ODATA get the path

Former Member — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 19:35:21 GMT

Hi Folks,

when i get JSON data like this.

// JSON sample data
var data = {
    company:{
        name:"Treefish Inc",
        info:{
            employees:3,},
        contacts:[{
                name:"Barbara",
                phone:"873"},{
                name:"Gerry",
                phone:"734"},{
                name:"Susan",
                phone:"275"}]}};

Absolute binding paths within this model when i know the structure of the data.

/company/name
/company/info/employees
/company/contacts

How can i get the sub paths when i have only the path /company.

Is there an function to get this?

Thanks for any help

Bernd

Hi Bernd Dietrich

you need to do it manually.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7306669/how-to-get-all-properties-values-of-a-javascript-object-without-knowing-the-key

var data = {
    company:{
        name:"Treefish Inc",
        info:{
            employees:3,},
        contacts:[{
                name:"Barbara",
                phone:"873"},{
                name:"Gerry",
                phone:"734"},{
                name:"Susan",
                phone:"275"}]}};
// This will give you the properties inside the object
var keys = Object.keys(data );
// ["company"]
var keys = Object.keys(data.company );
// ["name", "info", "contacts"]

// So you have to call it recursivvely to fetch all the paths...
// You can also use
for(var sProperty in data){
//data[sProperty]
}

So you need to wirte a function to do it recursively and give you the paths.. Is there any reason to do that dynamically?

I have a dynamically struktur so I do this dynamically.

Does exist an other solution?
