Installation

Bower

bower install hiernodejs

NPM

npm install hiernodejs

Usage

HTML Page

<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_component/hiernodejs/hiernode.js"></script>

or

<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_component/hiernodejs/hiernode.min.js"></script>

Using with Simple Objects

// Create a (root) node.
var node = HierNode();
node.Name = "People";

// Create a child node.
var child = node.AddChild();
child.Name = "Alice";

// Test the relationships.
if( child.PrevNode() === node ) { Alert("Yes"); }
if( child.FindRoot() === node ) { Alert("Yes"); }
if( node.FindFirstChild() === child ) { Alert("Yes"); }

Using with Defined Objects

// Create a root node for "People".
var node = HierNode( { "Name": "People", "IsGroup": true } );

// Create some People objects.
node.AddChild( { "Name": "Alice", "Age": 22, "Dept": "IT" } );
node.AddChild( { "Name": "Bob", "Age": 24, "Dept": "IT" } );
node.AddChild( { "Name": "Eve", "Age": 29, "Dept": "HR" } );

// Search all the People objects.
var nodes = node.SearchDescendents( "Dept", "IT" );
// nodes is an array containing the "Alice" and "Bob" objects.

Using with Predefined Objects

// Create a root node for "People".
var node = HierNode( new MyGroup( "People" ) );

// Create some People objects.
node.AddChild( new MyPerson( "Alice", 22, "IT" ) );
node.AddChild( new MyPerson( "Bob", 24, "IT" ) );
node.AddChild( new MyPerson( "Eve", 29, "HR" ) );

// Search all the People objects.
var nodes = node.SearchDescendents( "Dept", "IT" );
// nodes is an array containing the "Alice" and "Bob" objects.
