How to convert each folder to smart objects in Photoshop using script?

Question

Greetings,I've been looking for a Photoshop script that could help me batch convert each folder (all folders in Photoshop file) to smart objects separately. You can see the example below.  BeforeAfter Currently, I use keyboard shortcut to convert a folder into a smart object, but this way more exhausting if I must convert a large number of folders into smart objects, because the keyboard shortcut just works for one folder only.I don't know much about JavaScript. But if you find out the script or the other way more faster please help me to solve this problem.That's all. Thank you in advance &#128516;

The script from @Kukurykus in the first link works on both selected layers and layer groups/sets.

In the second link, the script that I posted works on all top-level layers and layer groups/sets, without requiring a layer to be selected. Also in the second link are two scripts from @jazz-y that work with selected or all layers/groups.

Thank you very much! I've tried the second link! It works~
