Treebase library designed to manage and manipulate tree structures. With a host of powerful utilities and a straightforward API, working with hierarchical data structures has never been easier.

• Easy Manipulation: Add, delete, update, or move nodes with ease.
• Search: Search for nodes based on a specific property.
• Hierarchical Tree: Construct a hierarchical tree structure from a flat list of items.
• Dictionary: Get a key-value dictionary of all items in the tree structure.

yarn add treebase
npm install treebase

import { TreeBase } from "treebase";

const props = {
  data: {
    // this can also be tree sctructured data
    oak: { title: "Oak Item", pid: "root" }, //
    apple: { title: "Apple title", pid: "oak" },
    banana: { title: "Banan title", pid: "oak" },
    cucumber: { title: "Cucumber title", pid: "banana" },
  },
  // OPTIONS (optional)
  options: {
    pid: "pid", // key for parent id
    children: "children", // key for children
    isDir: null, // function to check if item is a directory
    defaultRoot: "root", // default root id
  },
};

const treebase = new TreeBase(props);

treebase.add({ title: "Watermelon title", pid: "apple" }); // If id is not provided, it will be generated

// tree sctructured data
let treeData = treebase.getTree();
// key value dictionary
let treeDictionary = treebase.getDictionary();

// Get tree of a specific root
let treeData = treebase.getTree("aa");

console.log(treeDictionary, treeData);

// treeDictionary

Constructs a hierarchical tree structure starting from the specified root.

• Parameters:
  • rootId: The identifier for the root of the tree (defaults to this.options.defaultRoot).
  • keepIndex: Whether to preserve the order of items based on their index (defaults to true).
• Returns: A tree structure where each item has a list of its children.

Adds a new item to the tree structure.

• Parameters:
  • item: The item to be added.
• Returns: The newly added item or the existing item if a duplicate is found.

Removes an item from the tree structure.

• Parameters:
  • id: The ID of the target item to delete.
  • options: {moveToRoot?, moveTo?} - If moveToRoot is set to true, the item will be moved to the root of the tree. If moveTo is set to the ID of another item, the item will be moved to the specified item's children.
• Returns: Updated dictionary.

Updates properties of a specified item in the tree structure.

• Parameters:
  • id: The unique identifier of the item to be updated.
  • payload: An object containing the properties to be updated.
• Returns: The updated item with the new properties.

Moves a child to a different parent or position within the tree structure.

• Parameters:

  • id: The unique identifier of the child to be moved.
  • options: {pid?, index?} - If pid is set to the ID of another item, the child will be moved to the specified item's children. If index is set to a number, the child will be moved to the specified position within the parent's children.

• Returns: The updated dictionary after the move operation.

Search for an item in the tree structure.

• Parameters:
  • path: The path to the property to search for.
  • value: The value to search for.
• Returns: A list of items that match the search criteria.

Retrieves the direct children of a specified parent item.

• Parameters:
  • id: The unique identifier of the parent item.
• Returns: List containing all the direct children of the specified parent item.

Retrieves all descendants (deep children) of a specified parent item.

• Parameters:
  • pid: The unique identifier of the parent item.
• Returns: A flattened list containing all descendants of the specified parent item.

Checks if an item has any children.

• Parameters:
  • id: target item.
• Returns: true if the item has children, false otherwise.

Get all parents of a child until the root item.

• Parameters:
  • id: target child.
  • rootId: root item id.
• Returns: Array of parent ids.

Checks if an item is a deep parent of another item.

• Parameters:
  • id: child item ID.
  • pid: potential parent item ID.
• Returns: true if pid is a parent of id, false otherwise.

Re-indexes the direct children of a specified parent item.

• Parameters:
  • pid: The unique identifier of the parent item.
• Returns: The updated dictionary after reindexing the children.

Update dictionary object from an array of items.

• Parameters:
  • list: list items.
• Returns: None.
