Trying to grab a value after using Object.entries

JavaScript
1

The object below is a result of an expansion of some tree and I have to grab the descriptionPath value and this descriptionPath appears only in the last expanded children as shown below for the Child of Very Small Bank children.

{
	"title": "National Bank",
	"bank_cd": "",
	"description": {
		"name": "Private Bank",
		"key": "\\\\Some Key\\Path\\testing1\\testing2\\testing3"
	},
	"children": [{
		"title": "Small Bank",
		"bank_cd": "",
		"description": {
			"name": "Small Bank",
			"key": "\\\\Some Key\\Path\\testing1\\testing2\\testing3\\Small Bank"
		},
		"children": [{
			"title": "Very Small Bank ",
			"bank_cd": "",
			"description": {
				"name": "Very Small Bank ",
				"key": "\\\\Some Key\\Path\\testing1\\testing2\\testing3\\Small Bank\\Very Small Bank "
			},
			"children": [{
				"title": " Child of Very Small Bank ",
				"bank_cd": "123456",
				"description": {
					"bank_cd": "123456",
					"descriptionPath": "\\A\\B\\V\\D\\text1\\text2\\text3\\text5\\"
				},
				"expanded": true
			}],
			"expanded": true
		}],
		"expanded": true
	}],
	"expanded": false
}

For example, if nothing would have been expanded, it would have looked like :

{
	"title": "National Bank",
	"bank_cd": "",
	"description": {
		"name": "Private Bank",
		"descriptionPath": "\\A\\B\\V\\D\\text1\\text2\\text3\\text5\\"
	},
	
	"expanded": false
}

So, in order to grab the descriptionPath, I was thinking of converting it to array using Object.entries method as shown in the JSFiddle here.

However, in the console.log, I am not seeing descriptionPath anywhere. Am I following wrong approach here?

This is a recursive dive problem.

Consider this:
What is inside of the nodes that you dont want, that is NOT inside of the one you do?

Hmm. I am wondering, why in console log, it’s not showing descriptionPath ?

It’s done exactly what you told it to do. And descriptionPath is in your log.
