Find item by ID in treeview node list

Does anyone have an idea how to write a recursive method to find item by id within a treeview node list like this:

This data is direct binded to treeview like this

So I need to find item by id, and update with new values

Assumptions

Assuming your node structure being:

interface Item {
  id: string;
  [K: string]: any;
}

interface Node {
  children: Node[];
  connectionTypeId: number;
  item: Item;
}

Search

This is a DFS (Depth First Search) on your structure (returns undefined if nothing is found):

function findNodeById(list: Node[], id: string): Node | undefined {
  for (const n of list) {
    const res = n.item.id === id ? n : findNodeById(n.children, id);
    if (res) return res;
  }
}

This is a BFS (Breadth First Search):

function findNodeById(list: Node[], id: string): Node | undefined {
  for (const n of list) {
    if (n.item.id === id) return n;
  }
  for (const n of list) {
    const res = findNodeById(n.children, id);
    if (res) return res;
  }
}

Update

An update can be performed directly on the retrieved node

const node: Node = findNodeById(list, 'f2ef4ced74448d0da8d109caf75a1073');
if (node) {
  node.item.name = 'A new name';
  console.log('Updated');
} else {
  console.warn('Id not found');
}
