I have an array of objects that looks like this:
[{ name: 'test',
size: 0,
type: 'directory',
path: '/storage/test' },
{ name: 'asdf',
size: 170,
type: 'directory',
path: '/storage/test/asdf' },
{ name: '2.txt',
size: 0,
type: 'file',
path: '/storage/test/asdf/2.txt' }]
There could be any number of arbitrary path's, this is the result of iterating through files and folders within a directory.
What I'm trying to do is determine the 'root' node of these. Ultimately, this will be stored in mongodb and use materialized path to determine it's relationships.
In this example, /storage/test is a root with no parent. /storage/test/asdf has the parent of /storage/test which is the parent to /storage/test/asdf/2.txt.
My question is, how would you go about iterating through this array, to determine the parent's and associated children? Any help in the right direction would be great!
Thank you
