[Question] How can I use the path info when I am in onMoveNode about react-sortable-tree HOT 4 CLOSED

Just to get a better idea of your issue, what is it that you want to do with that node once you can access it like treeData[0].children[1].children[3]?

from react-sortable-tree.

@fritz-c I want to get the index of the node on it's new position on that level (like 3 in treeData[0].children[1].children[3] )to send back to database, so the database know where the node moved to.

Since you're using a DB, do you have unique ids tied to your nodes that you could use instead? If so, you could use a getNodeKey prop like so:

// Supposing your nodes look something like:
// node = {
//     myUniqueId: 5,
//     parentId: 3,
//     title: 'My Title'
// };

// Render with getNodeKey and onMoveNode like so:
<SortableTree
    // ...
    getNodeKey={({ node }) => node.myUniqueId}
    onMoveNode={({ node, path }) => {
        const newParentId = path.slice(-2, -1);
        updateParentOnDb(node.myUniqueId, newParentId)
    }}

By default, getNodeKey uses the treeIndex to generate the numbers in the path, but you can customize it to get the path that works best for you. The one requirement is that it returns a unique node key for each node, so using the children array index isn't possible.

I see, I got your point. Will use the getNodeKey to customize my path.
Thank you!
