I’m trying to build a navigation menu. I am receiving an array with a structure like this:
[
[
Title = A
Sub items = [
Title = B
Sub items = [
Title = C
]
]
],
[
Title = A
Sub items = [
Title = B
Sub items = [
Title = D
]
]
],
]
I need to take it and make it look like this:
[
Title = A
Sub items = [
Title = B
Sub items = [
Title = C,
Title = D
]
]
]
I have listed my input and my desired output below. I’m tearing my hair out on this one. I was trying to use recursion, but had some issues with running into infinite loops all over the place. Any help on a good way to tackle this would be so appreciated.
