How to extract node from object based on object prop?

Question

Hello everyone i have an object

const obj = {
  a: {
    uniqueId: 'u_a',
  },
  groupA: {
    uniqueId: 'u_groupA', 
    nested: {
      b: {
        uniqueId: 'u_b',
      },
      c: {
        uniqueId: 'u_c',
      },
      anotherGroup: {
        uniqueId: 'u_anotherGroup',
        nested: {
          d: {
            uniqueId: 'u_d',
          },
          e: {
            uniqueId: 'u_e',
          },
        }
      },
    }
  },
};

and i have an **array that holds the uniqueId values ** like this

[ 'u_a', 'u_b', 'u_c' ] and so on so

What i want to do is loop through the array and extract the specific nodes -- for more understanding
if the array is [ 'u_a' ] The result will be

const result = {
   a: {
    uniqueId: 'u_a',
  },
};

And If The Array is [ 'u_b' ] the result will be

const result = {
  groupA: {
    uniqueId: 'u_groupA', 
    nested: {
      b: {
        uniqueId: 'u_b',
      },
    }
  }
};

And If The array is [ 'u_a', 'u_b', 'u_d' ] The result will be:

const result = {
  a: {
    uniqueId: 'u_a',
  },
  groupA: {
    uniqueId: 'u_groupA', 
    nested: {
      b: {
        uniqueId: 'u_b',
      },
      anotherGroup: {
        uniqueId: 'u_anotherGroup',
        nested: {
          d: {
            uniqueId: 'u_d',
          },
        }
      },
    }
  },
};

and So on

How can i do that

List of uniqueIDs
Loop through them and search for each one inside the object
extract the founded node only Not All Elements

Thanks in Advance.

Using filterDeep from deepdash

deepdash(_);

const obj = {a:{uniqueId:"u_a"},groupA:{uniqueId:"u_groupA",nested:{b:{uniqueId:"u_b"},c:{uniqueId:"u_c"},anotherGroup:{uniqueId:"u_anotherGroup",nested:{d:{uniqueId:"u_d"},e:{uniqueId:"u_e"}}}}}}

const filter = ['u_a', 'u_b', 'u_d']

const result = _.filterDeep(obj, val => _.includes(filter, val))

console.log(result)
