#### DFSTreeSearch
Depth-First Search (DFS) algorithm for tree structures. It uses a stack rather
than recursion in order to support deeply nested trees without call-stack overflows.
It is well suited for exploring a branch of a data structure in depth and
usually preferred when memory usage is a concern or when the data
structure has many nodes with few levels.
`typescript
import { Tree, type TreeNode } from '@httpx/treeu';
type CustomValue =
| { type: 'folder'; size?: never }
| { type: 'file'; size: number };
const treeNodes: TreeNode
{
id: 'file2.ts',
parentId: null,
value: { size: 10, type: 'file' },
children: [],
},
{
id: 'folder1',
parentId: null,
value: { type: 'folder' },
children: [
{
id: 'folder1/file1.ts',
parentId: 'folder1',
value: { size: 30, type: 'file' },
children: [],
},
],
},
];
const search = new DfsTreeSearch
const res1 = search.findOne('folder1/file1.ts');
const res2 = search.findOne(['id', '===', 'folder1/file1.ts']);
const res3 = search.findOne((treeNode) => treeNode.value.size === 30);
const res4 = search.findOne(['parentId', '===', 'folder1']);
// res1 === res2 === res3 === res4

#### FlatTreeWsMapper
| FlatTreeWsMapper | Description |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| toTreeNodes | Convert to flat map with separator |fromTreeNodes
| | Convert a tree to a flat map with separator |
`typescript
import { FlatTreeWsMapper, type FlatTreeWs } from '@httpx/treeu';
type CustomValue =
| { type: 'folder'; size?: never }
| { type: 'file'; size: number };
// Use an object or a Record
const paths: FlatTreeWs
[ 'file1.ts', { type: 'file', size: 10 } ],
[ 'folder1', { type: 'folder' }],
[ 'folder1/file1.ts', { type: 'file', size: 30 }],
]);
const mapper = new FlatTreeWsMapper
const treeResult = mapper.toTreeNodes(paths, {
separator: '/',
});
// Will return
const expected: TreeNode
{
id: 'file1.ts',
parentId: null,
value: {
size: 10,
type: 'file',
},
children: [],
},
{
id: 'folder1',
parentId: null,
value: {
type: 'folder',
},
children: [
{
id: 'folder1/file1.ts',
parentId: 'folder1',
value: {
size: 30,
type: 'file',
},
children: [],
},
],
},
];

#### Example
Example of TreeNode[] typing:
`typescript
import { Tree, TreeNode } from '@httpx/treeu';
type CustomValue =
| { type: 'folder'; size?: never }
| { type: 'file'; size: number };
const treeNodes: TreeNode
{
id: 'file1.ts',
parentId: null,
value: {
size: 10,
type: 'file',
},
children: [],
},
{
id: 'file2.ts',
parentId: null,
value: {
size: 20,
type: 'file',
},
children: [],
},
{
id: 'folder1',
parentId: null,
value: {
type: 'folder',
},
children: [
{
id: 'folder1/file1.ts',
parentId: 'folder1',
value: {
size: 30,
type: 'file',
},
children: [],
},
],
},
{
id: 'folder2',
parentId: null,
value: {
type: 'folder',
},
children: [
{
id: 'folder2/file1.ts',
parentId: 'folder2',
value: {
size: 40,
type: 'file',
},
children: [],
},
{
id: 'folder2/subfolder1',
parentId: 'folder2',
value: {
type: 'folder',
},
children: [
{
id: 'folder2/subfolder1/file1.ts',
parentId: 'folder2/subfolder1',
value: {
size: 50,
type: 'file',
},
children: [],
},
],
},
],
},
{
id: 'folder3',
parentId: null,
value: {
type: 'folder',
},
children: [],
},
];
