onChange get parentItem about react-nestable HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello.

I wish I knew the way you follow to sort items.
Some people respect order of items in array,
but others use prop position in every item.

Nestable has a method getPathById(id, items).
You can try to use it directly (so far I have no intention to change it),
or better copy it to your utils (just for being on a safe side).

Your code would look something like:

state = {
  items: [] // let's say your items are in state
};
handleChange = (items, item) => {
  const from = refToNestable.getPathById(item.id, this.state.items);
  const to = refToNestable.getPathById(item.id, items);
};

Please notice another method as well: getItemByPath(path, items).

I rewrote the layout for my json to your example to minimize bugs.
I've played a little with those functions but ended up in writing a function

maybe it is helpfull for this project to implement to get the parent

id = item.id
array = items

processArray(id, array, parentId){
  array.map((i) => {
   const itemId = i.id;
   if(itemId != null && itemId === id) {
     if(parentId){
      this.props.actions.patchSortedPage(id, parentId);
    }
  }
  if(typeof(i.children) === 'object' && i.children.length > 0) {
    return this.processArray(id, i.children, itemId );
  }
});}
