Recursively convert ibeam parent/child output to flare format

toFlareRecursive.js

function toFlareRecursive(data, parentKey, childKey) {
	var root = { 'name': 'Classes', 'children': [] };
	function findChildren(d){
		var subclasses = _.filter(data, function(obj){
			return obj[parentKey] === d[childKey];
		});
		if ( subclasses.length > 0 ) {
			d.children = [];
			_.each(subclasses, function(obj){
				obj.name = obj.thisClass;
				d.children.push(obj);
				findChildren(obj);
			});
		}
	}
	_.each(data, function(obj){
		if ( obj[parentKey] === "None" ) {
			obj.name = obj[childKey];
			root.children.push(obj);
			findChildren(obj);
		}
	});
	return root;
}

Advantages of this approach

• All extra data returned by the query is maintained (i.e., color, etc.)
• Only does what's necessary. Doesn't bother with 'size' key since that's not strictly part of the schema.
