Yeh..I know its not that much related to technical. Its absolutely logical But I'm stuck here.

Lets consider i have an array 1) arr = ['bno', 'am', 'recruiter'];

Expected Output

Obj = {
     key_name: 'bno',
     emplist = [],
     children_obj: {
        key_name: 'am',
        emplist = [],
        children_obj: {
          key_name: 'recruiter',
          emplist = [],
        }
     }

};

2) arr = ['am', 'recruiter'];

Output

Obj = {
         key_name: 'am',
         emplist = [],
         children_obj: {
            key_name: 'recruiter',
            emplist = [],
         }
   };

Anybody can please suggest or provide best way to create such dynamic object based on array element. Would help me out to get it.

Thanks in advance Cheers

It's easy with a short, recursive function: https://jsfiddle.net/xp3zazmo/ Or a non-mutating version: https://jsfiddle.net/xp3zazmo/1/ – llama Oct 26 '17 at 14:09

Here's one that uses a rest parameter to separate the head of the list from the tail. https://jsfiddle.net/xp3zazmo/2/ – llama Oct 26 '17 at 14:18
