So I'm triyng to update some ids from a categories tree using TreeModelJS.
after editing I would like to dump the tree to a file in JSON format.
but when outputing other keys from TreeModel gets outputed as well.
How could I output edited tree as JSON (model only)?
I managed to replace other keys values with null and so far I got this:
const axios = require('axios')
const TreeModel = require('tree-model')
const fs = require('fs')
const url = 'https://my-api-uri-for-categories'
const dumpPath = `${process.cwd()}/data/test/categories.json`
const getCategories = async () => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(url)
return response.data.categories
} catch (error) {
console.log('Error reading categories', error)
}
}
const dumpJsonTofile = data => {
try {
console.log('Dumping to file')
console.log(data)
fs.writeFileSync(
dumpPath,
JSON.stringify(data, (k, v) => {
if (k === 'parent' || k === 'config' || k === 'children') return null
else return v
}),
'utf8'
) // write it back
} catch (error) {
console.log('Error dumping categories', error)
}
}
const scraping = async category => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(category.url)
const document = response.data
const json = document.match(/{"searchTerm"(.*);/g)[0]
const data = JSON.parse(json.replace(';', ''))
return data
} catch (error) {
console.log(`Error while scraping category: ${category.name}`, error)
}
}
async function run() {
const categories = await getCategories()
const categoriesTree = new TreeModel({
childrenPropertyName: 'items',
})
const root = categoriesTree.parse({ id: 0, origin: {}, items: categories })
root.walk(async node => {
const category = node.model
console.log(`scraping category: ${category.name}...`)
if (!category.url) return console.log(`skipping (root?)...`)
const data = await scraping(category)
category.id = data.categoryId
})
dumpJsonTofile(root)
}
run()
but that still outputs a Node object like this:
{
"config":null,
"model":{},
"children":null
}
I need to output all the tree showing only the model key value for each item
Try JSON.stringify(root.model)
.
