How can i get inside every object in a nested object structure?

I have an object obj1 with another object inside obj2.

obj2 is structured in the same way as obj1 so there will be another object inside it.

Let's say that I have 20 of these and I'm trying to get inside each one of them to get some data.

Is there a way to create a loop that goes inside an obj as soon as it sees it?

I tried doing this but with no luck.

var location;
for (var [key, value] of Object.entries(object)) {
  var type = typeof value;
  var array = Array.isArray(value);
  if (typeof value === "object" && array === false && value) {
    location = key;
    for (var [a, b] of Object.entries(object[location])) {
      /*this is where I'm stuck, the location variable doesn't update with
      the 'path' of every object*/
    }
  }
}

Create a function that loop on one level. Check values for objects. If you find one, recall the same function.

function createLoop(obj) {
  for (const key in obj) {
     if (typeof obj[key] == "object") {
        createLoop(obj[key])
     } else {
       // do your stuff
     }
  }
}
