Using d3.stratify together with the flextree hierarchy

[karlitos]

My tree-data lies as a plain array at the beginning, so converting to a nested structure is necessary before processing with flextree.

If I use the d3.stratify function it creates a nested structure with the data property containing all the original properties of every node. If I then call the layout.hierarchy on this data it crates a new hierarchy containing the data property containing the data property containing all the original properties 😞

If I call layout directly on the stratified data the resulting layout does not have the right properties.

So shat I was forced to do instead was using different function to create the nested structure (see list-to-tree-lite) to create the flextree hierarchy to compute the layout.

It would be great if the flextree would be able to implement the d3.stratify function as well or at least operate on the stratified data with an option to re-use the data property.

Just skip the layout.hierarchy() step and go straight to layout() :)
