Help Wanted: Multi Level Object Example about react-native-nested-listview

[fjmorant]

Hi @brystfire08 ,

IN you example children and descendants are objects and that structure is not currently supported in this library, they have to be arrays, one possibility is to convert them into arrays if possible.

Sorry I think I am going to add this in the roadmap to make the library a bit more flexible.

Thank you very much.

I need to check several aspects but this is the initial approach

Thank you so much 👍
Now I can remove the recursive iteration to make my Object an array of Objects.
I just have to add Object.values() on the data prop passed to the NestedListView component

<View style={styles.container}>
	<NestedListView
	  data={Object.values(mainObj)}
	  getChildrenName={this.getChildrenName}
	  onNodePressed={this.onNodePressed}
	  renderNode={this.renderNode}
	/>
</View>

because sometimes the object can be like this:

{
  "1":{
    name: 'Main Parent',
    descendants: {
      "1":{
        name: "Main Child 1",
        children: {
          "1":{
            name: "Sub Child 1",
            children:{}
          },
          "2":{
            name: "Sub Child 2",
            children:{
              name: "Sample",
              children:{}
            }
          }
        }
      },
      "2":{
        name: "Main Child 2",
        children: {
          "1":{
            name: "Sub Child 1",
            children:{}
          },
          "2":{
            name: "Sub Child 2",
            children:{}
          }
        }
      },
    }
  },
  "2":{
    name: 'Main Parent',
    descendants: {
      "1":{
        name: "Main Child 1",
        children: {
          "1":{
            name: "Sub Child 1",
            children:{}
          },
          "2":{
            name: "Sub Child 2",
            children:{
              name: "Sample",
              children:{}
            }
          }
        }
      },
      "2":{
        name: "Main Child 2",
        children: {
          "1":{
            name: "Sub Child 1",
            children:{}
          },
          "2":{
            name: "Sub Child 2",
            children:{}
          }
        }
      },
    }
  },
 }
