How to create Bootstrap4 navbar with menus and sub menus with JSON data?

I have a JSON string from which I want to create a Bootstrap 4 navbar. As I am new to JavaScript and jQuery I am not getting an idea of how to achieve that.

Here is my JSON data:

var data = {

    "Setup":

        [

            {  "type": "Submenu-1" },



            {  "type": "submenu-2" }

        ],

    "Report":

        [

            {  "type": "subreport-1" },



            {  "type": "subreport-2" }

             ],

    "logout":

        



};

I want to have a navbar like

<link rel="stylesheet"

	href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">



<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-sm bg-dark navbar-dark">

	<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse"

		data-target="#navbarSupportedContent"

		aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false"

		aria-label="Toggle navigation">

		<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>

	</button>

	<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">

		<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">

			<!-- Links -->

			<!-- DropDown -->



			<!-- setup -->



			<li class="nav-item dropdown">



					<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="" id="navbardrop"

						data-toggle="dropdown"> Setup </a>

				

				

				<div id="drop" class="dropdown-menu">

					

						<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> submenu-1</a>

						<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> submenu-2</a>

				

				</div></li>

			

			<li class="nav-item dropdown">

					<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbardrop"

						data-toggle="dropdown"> Report </a>

				

				<div class="dropdown-menu">

				

					

						<a class="dropdown-item" href="">subreport-1</a>

						<a class="dropdown-item" href="">subreport-2</a>

				



				</div></li>

			



			<li class="nav-item">

			  

				<a class="nav-link" href="">Logout</a>

			 </li>

		</ul>

	</div>

	</nav>

  

  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js"></script>

	<script

		src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.3/umd/popper.min.js"></script>

	<script

		src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

I don't know how I can achieve this from JavaScript or jQuery - how can I achieve this?

My JSON data is dynamic; it can vary from 3 menus to 6-7, and the same for submenus also.

I hope it will help to generate dynamic navbar from Json data.

var data = {

    "Setup":

        [

            {  "type": "Submenu-1", "link" : "https://www.google.com" },

            {  "type": "submenu-2", "link" : "https://www.google.com" }

        ],

    "Report":

        [

            {  "type": "subreport-1", "link" : "https://www.google.com" },

            {  "type": "subreport-2", "link" : "https://www.google.com" }

        ],

    "logout":

        



};



$(document).ready(function() {

	

	for (var item in data) { 

    	var _menu = "";

        var _submenuData = data[item];

        if(_submenuData.length > 0) {

        	var _submenu = "";

            

        	for(var i = 0; i < _submenuData.length; i++) {

            	_submenu += "<a class='dropdown-item' href='" + _submenuData[i]["link"] + "'>" + _submenuData[i]["type"] + "</a>";

        }

        

        _menu = "<li class='nav-item dropdown'>"

        		+ "<a class='nav-link dropdown-toggle' href='' id='navbardrop' data-toggle='dropdown'> " + item + " </a>"

                + "<div id='drop' class='dropdown-menu'>"

                + _submenu

				+ "</div>"

                + "</li>";

        }

        else {

        	_menu = "<li class='nav-item'>"

        		+ "<a class='nav-link' href=''> " + item + " </a>"

                + "</li>";

        }

        

        $("#navbarId").append(_menu);

    }



});
