Recursive function Chrome Bookmarks loop & appending










1















I'm trying to loop trough the chrome bookmarks and get all folders by using recursive function. I'm able to log all folders correctly so _.each and if folder works fine but struggling to correctly append <ul><li>



The object chrome.bookmarks.getSubTree ASYNC:

Here is my function, at the beginning getFolders gets the very top level ID eg. 2:



const getFolders = (bmkNode) => 
const props =
menuContainerId: $('#bookmarks')


const getTree = (element, bmkNode) =>
const ul = $('<ul data-node="' + bmkNode + '"></ul>')
let li

chrome.bookmarks.getSubTree(bmkNode, (folder) =>
_.map(folder[0].children, (item) => )
)



getTree(props.menuContainerId, bmkNode)



getFolders('0')


My current output:



<div id="bookmarks">
<ul data-node="0">
<li data-node="1">Bookmarks Bar</li>
</ul>
<ul data-node="0">
<li data-node="2">Other Bookmarks</li>
<ul data-node="2">
<li data-node="489">Cars</li>
<ul data-node="489">
<li data-node="492">Ferrari</li>
<ul data-node="492">
<li data-node="496">F40</li>
</ul>
<ul data-node="492">
<li data-node="497">Testarossa</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul data-node="489">

</ul>
<ul data-node="489">

<ul data-node="2">

</ul>
<ul data-node="490">

</ul>
</ul>
<ul data-node="2">
<li data-node="491">Ships</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>


My desire output:



 <div id="bookmarks">
<ul>
<li>Bookmarks Bar</li>
<li>Other Bookmarks</li>
<ul>
<li>Cars
<li>Ferrari
<ul>

  • Do not use _.each. It does not work with asynchronous code. _.map them to an array of promises and use Promise.all.

  • Promisify only the chrome.bookmarks.getSubTree(bmkNode) function, put nothing else into the new Promise constructor. Then use .then() chaining to work with the result values

    – Bergi
    Nov 12 '18 at 8:26











  • @Bergi I thought we are using _.map when we are expecting to return something? There is no return here..? Could you suggest the function changes below? Thanks

  • Try to find something useful that could be returned (hint: don't use a global folderItem variable). And since the recursive getTrees call is asynchronous, you will need to return a promise for this thing. Then you will have an array of promises in the end, which is something that Promise.all can work with.

  • @Bergi I've edited my example so there is no need for promise also added actual object. Tell me what you think? Thanks

Here is my function, at the beginning getFolders gets the very top level ID eg. 2:



const getFolders = (bmkNode) => 
const props =
menuContainerId: $('#bookmarks')


const getTree = (element, bmkNode) =>
const ul = $('<ul data-node="' + bmkNode + '"></ul>')
let li

chrome.bookmarks.getSubTree(bmkNode, (folder) =>
_.map(folder[0].children, (item) => )
)



getTree(props.menuContainerId, bmkNode)



getFolders('0')


My current output:



<div id="bookmarks">
<ul data-node="0">
<li data-node="1">Bookmarks Bar</li>
</ul>
<ul data-node="0">
<li data-node="2">Other Bookmarks</li>
<ul data-node="2">
<li data-node="489">Cars</li>
<ul data-node="489">
<li data-node="492">Ferrari</li>
<ul data-node="492">
<li data-node="496">F40</li>
</ul>
<ul data-node="492">
<li data-node="497">Testarossa</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul data-node="489">
<li data-node="493">Toyota</li>
</ul>
<ul data-node="489">
<li data-node="494">BMW</li>
</ul>
<ul data-node="489">
<li data-node="495">Audi</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul data-node="2">
<li data-node="490">Planes</li>
<ul data-node="490">
<li data-node="498">Boeing</li>
</ul>
<ul data-node="490">

</ul>
</ul>
<ul data-node="2">
<li data-node="491">Ships</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>


My desire output:



 <div id="bookmarks">
<ul>
<li>Bookmarks Bar</li>

  • Do not use _.each. It does not work with asynchronous code. _.map them to an array of promises and use Promise.all.

    Nov 12 '18 at 8:24











  • Promisify only the chrome.bookmarks.getSubTree(bmkNode) function, put nothing else into the new Promise constructor. Then use .then() chaining to work with the result values

    – Bergi
    Nov 12 '18 at 8:26











  • @Bergi I thought we are using _.map when we are expecting to return something? There is no return here..? Could you suggest the function changes below? Thanks

    – Ben
    Nov 12 '18 at 9:05












  • Try to find something useful that could be returned (hint: don't use a global folderItem variable). And since the recursive getTrees call is asynchronous, you will need to return a promise for this thing. Then you will have an array of promises in the end, which is something that Promise.all can work with.

  • @Bergi I've edited my example so there is no need for promise also added actual object. Tell me what you think? Thanks
