Hi All,

I've a requirement to get deep folder structure of a particular folder using JavaScript in Alfresco
The structure is
Ex:-

 
Main Folder
   |—- Document 1
   |—- Folder 1
              |—– Document 2
              |—– Folder 2
                          |—– Document 3
                          |—– Folder 3
                                      |—– Soon…………………….. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I written the following code ,

var nodeRef = "workspace://SpacesStore/36a2704b-1fbe-4223-9dc6-169a3ff31384";
var docNode = search.findNode(nodeRef);
var childList = docNode.children;
var count = childList.length;
   for(var i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
      var child = childList[i].name;
        logger.log( docNode.name+": children is: " + child); 
      }
     ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

but the output is getting only

folder1: children is: Document1 
folder1: children is: Folder1‍‍‍

I'm unable to get remaining structure…
Please suggest how to get total structure

Help is very appreciated.

thanks

The problem is that you're only iterating over the children in the main folder. You need to modify your code so that you not only iterate over the children of the main folder, but also of the children of each child node (and so on, until you reach a node that has no children). One approach would be to use a recursive programming pattern.
