Create a tree from the object
importance: 5
Write a function createTree
that creates a nested ul/li
list from the nested object.
For instance:
let data = { "Fish": { "trout": {}, "salmon": {} }, "Tree": { "Huge": { "sequoia": {}, "oak": {} }, "Flowering": { "apple tree": {}, "magnolia": {} } } };
The syntax:
let container = document.getElementById('container'); createTree(container, data); // creates the tree in the container
The result (tree) should look like this:
Choose one of two ways of solving this task:
- Create the HTML for the tree and then assign to
container.innerHTML
. - Create tree nodes and append with DOM methods.
Would be great if you could do both.
P.S. The tree should not have “extra” elements like empty <ul></ul>
for the leaves.
The easiest way to walk the object is to use recursion.
