Expanding the Editor based on a Path

[jonathanpbishop]

Sorry - unfortunately I am confused.

I want to be able to expand the editor based on path. I can get it to expend based on the level but not the path.

I have looked here for examples but I cannot see one.

I thought I could do something like -

// create a JSONpath variable

      let thisPath = ['processes', 'FIN_1'];

      refEditor.current.expand((path) => path) === thisPath)

The function expand is powerful but indeed not that easy to understand. Suggestions for a good API are welcome, see #249.

In JavaScript, you can't compare the contents of arrays using ===, instead you can for example use the isEqual function of Lodash. You'll need to check for every sub-path too, like:

import { isEqual } from 'lodash-es'

refEditor.current.expand((path) => {
  return isEqual(path, []) ||
    isEqual(path, ['processes']) ||
    isEqual(path, ['processes', 'FIN_1'])
})

Now of course you'll need to write some logic to automatically expand each of the sub-paths.
