I do not code much in Javascript, but I have the following snippet which IMHO looks horrendous and I have to do this nested iteration quite often in my code. Does anyone have a prettier/easier to read solution?
function addBrowse(data) {
var
list = $('<ul></ul>')
for(i = 0; i < data.
list.length; i++) {
var file =
list.append('<li class="toLeft">' + data.list[i].name + '</li>')
for(j = 0; j < data.list[i].children.length; j++) {
var db = file.append('<li>' + data.list[i].children[j].name + '</li>')
for(k = 0; k < data.list[i].children[j].children.length; k++)
db.append('<li class="toRight">' + data.list[i].children[j].children[k].name + '</li>')
}
}
$('#browse').append(list).show()}
Here is a sample data element
{"file":"","db":"","tbl":"","page":"browse","
list":[
{
"name":"/home/alex/GoSource/test1.txt",
"children":[
{
"name":"go",
"children":[
{
"name":"validation1",
"children":[
]
}
]
}
]
},
{
"name":"/home/alex/GoSource/test2.txt",
"children":[
{
"name":"go",
"children":[
{
"name":"validation2",
"children":[
]
}
]
}
]
},
{
"name":"/home/alex/GoSource/test3.txt",
"children":[
{
"name":"go",
"children":[
{
"name":"validation3",
"children":[
]
}
]
}
]
}]}
Thanks a lot
