For the past few days, I've been grappling with a seemingly "simple" exercise that has left me feeling incredibly stuck and frustrated. The task at hand involves converting nested arrays into HTML format. To illustrate, consider the following array:
const data = ['html', [
['head', [
['title', 'Your title text goes here'],
]],
['body', { class: 'container' }, [
['h1', { class: 'header' }, 'h1 text'],
['div', [
['span', 'span text2'],
['span', 'span text3'],
]],
]],
]];
The desired output should resemble the following HTML structure:
<html>
<head>
<title>your title text</title>
</head>
<body class="container">
<h1 class="header">h1 text</h1>
<div>
<span>span text2</span>
<span>span text3</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
A helper function, tagBuilder, has been implemented to create each HTML tag from an array. Here is the current implementation:
const tagBuilder = (arr) => {
console.log(arr)
// Logic for creating tags from Array elements
}
The challenge arises when attempting to construct the actual HTML builder function that can iterate through each element of the array, handle nested elements, and construct the appropriate HTML structure:
const buildHTML = (array) => {
// Initial attempt with a placeholder implementation
}
I have encountered difficulties in handling nested arrays within the main array while constructing the HTML structure. Although I have experimented with methods like reduce and nested map, I have yet to find a satisfactory solution. I believe that the final function should resemble the following design:
// Sample nested array
const textAndArrChild = ['div',
['span', 'span text3']];
// Expected result: <div><span>span text3</span></div>
// Implementation of tagBuilder function
const tagBuilder = (arr) => {
// Logic for creating tags based on array content
}
// Implementation of buildHTML function
const buildHTML = (array) => {
// Logic for building HTML from nested arrays
}
console.log(buildHTML(textAndArrChild))
