How to convert my JSON to PrimeNg tree format and bind data between the two tree stuctures

[bird]

I have a JSON repsonse in an array of objects structure like the following:

Code: Select all

[
   {
      "id":1,
      "title":"My first title",
      "comments":[
         {
            "id":1,
            "comment":"onecomment"
         },
         {
            "id":2,
            "comment":"another comment"
         }
      ],
      "children":[
         {
            "id":2,
            "title":"My first child of 1",
            "comments":[
               {
                  "id":100,
                  "comment":"a comment"
               }
            ],
            "children":[
               {
                  "id":5,
                  "title":"grand child of 1 parent 2",
                  "comments":[
                     {
                        "id":100,
                        "comment":"a comment"
                     }
                  ],
                  "children":[
                     
                  ]
               },
               {
                  "id":6,
                  "title":"grand child of 1 parent 2",
                  "comments":[
                     {
                        "id":200,
                        "comment":"comment 200"
                     },
                     {
                        "id":201,
                        "comment":" comment 201"
                     }
                  ],
                  "children":[
                     
                  ]
               }
            ]
         },
         {
            "id":3,
            "title":"My first child of 2",
            "comments":[
               {
                  "id":200,
                  "comment":"comment 200"
               },
               {
                  "id":201,
                  "comment":" comment 201"
               }
            ],
            "children":[
               
            ]
         }
      ]
   }
]

I am trying
1) to find an example how to create another array with the format primeNg tree expects which is like this ( from here: https://github.com/primefaces/primeng/b ... files.json ):

Code: Select all

{
    "data": [
        {
            "key": "0",
            "label": "Documents",
            "data": "Documents Folder",
            "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-inbox",
            "children": [{
                "key": "0-0",
                "label": "Work",
                "data": "Work Folder",
                "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-cog",
                "children": [{ "key": "0-0-0", "label": "Expenses.doc", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-file", "data": "Expenses Document" }, { "key": "0-0-1", "label": "Resume.doc", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-file", "data": "Resume Document" }]
            },
            {
                "key": "0-1",
                "label": "Home",
                "data": "Home Folder",
                "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-home",
                "children": [{ "key": "0-1-0", "label": "Invoices.txt", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-file", "data": "Invoices for this month" }]
            }]
        },
        {
            "key": "1",
            "label": "Events",
            "data": "Events Folder",
            "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-calendar",
            "children": [
                { "key": "1-0", "label": "Meeting", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-calendar-plus", "data": "Meeting" },
                { "key": "1-1", "label": "Product Launch", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-calendar-plus", "data": "Product Launch" },
                { "key": "1-2", "label": "Report Review", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-calendar-plus", "data": "Report Review" }]
        },
        {
            "key": "2",
            "label": "Movies",
            "data": "Movies Folder",
            "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-star",
            "children": [{
                "key": "2-0",
                "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-star",
                "label": "Al Pacino",
                "data": "Pacino Movies",
                "children": [{ "key": "2-0-0", "label": "Scarface", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-video", "data": "Scarface Movie" }, { "key": "2-0-1", "label": "Serpico", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-video", "data": "Serpico Movie" }]
            },
            {
                "key": "2-1",
                "label": "Robert De Niro",
                "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-star",
                "data": "De Niro Movies",
                "children": [{ "key": "2-1-0", "label": "Goodfellas", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-video", "data": "Goodfellas Movie" }, { "key": "2-1-1", "label": "Untouchables", "icon": "pi pi-fw pi-video", "data": "Untouchables Movie" }]
            }]
        }
    ]
}

with all these "data": , key, label etc

and

2) how to relate the data of those two trees
For example if I click on the node of my ID:2 of the primeNG tree, how can I also have the comments array?

I am searching for an example everywhere but I cannot find anything. Have anoyne already done this and want to help please?

Make sure whatever parent child arrays you want, jus follow label children hierarchy.

You can use create your JSON format in this way:

Code: Select all

{
   "id":1,
   "title":"My first title",
   "label":"test user",
   "children":[
      {
         "label":"poll 1 title",
         "children":[
            {
               "label":"comment1",
               "id":"1",
               "children":[
                  {
                     "label1 grandchild":"comment1 grand child"
                  }
               ]
            },
            {
               "label":"comment2",
               "id":"2",
               "children":[
                  {
                     "label2 grandchild":"comment2 grand child"
                  }
               ]
            }
         ]
      }
   }
]
}
