walkThrough
Creates a generator, that walks through all the keys of a given object.
- Use recursion.
- Define a generator function,
walk
, that takes an object and an array of keys. - Use a
for...of
loop andObject.keys()
to iterate over the keys of the object. - Use
typeof
to check if each value in the given object is itself an object. - If so, use the
yield*
expression to recursively delegate to the same generator function,walk
, appending the currentkey
to the array of keys. Otherwise,yield
the an array of keys representing the current path and the value of the givenkey
. - Use the
yield*
expression to delegate to thewalk
generator function.
const walkThrough = function* (obj) {
const walk = function* (x, previous = []) {
for (let key of Object.keys(x)) {
if (typeof x[key] === 'object') yield* walk(x[key], [...previous, key]);
else yield [[...previous, key], x[key]];
}
};
yield* walk(obj);
