We Keep Coding

is it possible to retrieve and print the data from a json object inside json array without using any index values and specific keys

[
{
"id": "628ba44f5a6de600071d16fa",
"#baseType": "LogicalResource",
"isBundle": false,
"isMNP": false,
"businessType": [],
"category": [
{
"id": "628ba3ef5a6de600071d165f",
"name": "Starterpack2",
"description": "Starterpack2",
"code": "RC17",
"version": 2
}}]
now i need to check and print the JSON Object inside the JSON Array if category is present then it should print and in future if category is changed according to that if we pass parameter the output should print we don't hard code the code
i have tried by using key values it is coming but if the key value changes it is not printing the object
EX:-
[
{
"id": "628ba44f5a6de600071d16fa",
"#baseType": "LogicalResource",
"isBundle": false,
"isMNP": false,
"businessType": [],
"category": [
{
"id": "628ba3ef5a6de600071d165f",
"name": "Starterpack2",
"description": "Starterpack2",
"code": "RC17",
"version": 2
}}]
in the above code i have printed category object but if category changed to categories it is not printing so i want a code which can read the code and based on parameters user giving it should be print the output

Try this.
For Example:
let a = [{"id": "628ba44f5a6de600071d16fa","category": [
{
"id": "628ba3ef5a6de600071d165f",
"name": "Starterpack2",
"description": "Starterpack2",
"code": "RC17",
"version": 2
}]}]
function print (values){return (a[0][`${values}`])}
//now just pass any name like "category" or in future "categories"
print("category") //this will retrun the array.
Now modify with your requirements.

It seems you want to get the value of the key(that can be parameterized).
const jsonArray = [
{
"id": "628ba44f5a6de600071d16fa",
"#baseType": "LogicalResource",
"isBundle": false,
"isMNP": false,
"businessType": [],
"category": [
{
"id": "628ba3ef5a6de600071d165f",
"name": "Starterpack2",
"description": "Starterpack2",
"code": "RC17",
"version": 2
}
]
}
];
const parameter = "category";
const result = jsonArray.find(({ [parameter]: value }) => value);
if (result) {
console.log(result);
} else {
console.log(`No object found with ${parameter}`);
}
If this is not what you are looking for, then please add your code snippet for better understanding.

Parsing nested JSON using JSON Schema or Classes

I have a large nested JSON response in following sample format:
{
"type": "folder",
"path": "Path1",
"owner": "user1",
"entries": [{
"type": "folder",
"path": "Path2",
"owner": "user1",
"entries": [{
"type": "folder",
"path": "Path3",
"owner": "user1"
},
{
"type": "file",
"path": "FullFilePath1",
"owner": "user1"
}
]
}]
}
I wanted to extract all the file type with selected keys and also add additional keys:
{
"type": "file",
"path": "FullFilePath1",
"Application": "My Application",
"UpdatedTime": "Time"
}
I am using nodejs. I need inputs in parsing the JSON file in best way. I was trying to check if I can use JSON Schema and Classes to do this but still didnt get through.
Could you please guide me?

Since you are dealing with JSON, you can simply load it into a JavaScript variable using require:
let data = require('./data.json');
You can then loop the variable for all entries tag
let fileData = require('./data.json');
let allEntries = [];
loadEntries(fileData);
function loadEntries(data) {
if(data.entries) {
for (let index = 0; index < data.entries.length; index++) {
const entry = data.entries[index];
// Do something with the entry
allEntries.push(entry);
loadEntries(entry);
}
}
}

Merge a Product Config JSON with Generic Config JSON- Issue While Merging Arrays inside it

I have 2 different Json files
1: a Deaflut JSON file
2: A Product Based JSON file
I need to merge them together in such a way that if a feature in default is not in a product that needs to be added to product config from default one.
for this merge, I used "lodash.mergewith" https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.mergewith.
so this is now taking care of the merge, But the file contains multiple nested JSON arrays inside it.
to handle that there is an option to use a customizer method that can handle array merge as mentioned in the usage of lodash.mergewith. I need a customizer that can find the Label from Deaflut and compare it with the Product if the Product has the same Label value then replace the URL with the Product URL. else if the Label is not in Product config, then use it from default as it is.
Example
Default config.json:-links is an array of this json with path : object►login►options►sections►2►links
"links": [{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Lable1"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label2"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label3"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label4"
}
]
Productconfig.json:- links is an array inside this of the path: object►login►options►sections►2►links
"links": [{
"url": "www.product1.com",
"label": "label1"
},
{
"url": "www.product2.com",
"label": "Label2"
}
]
** after merge mergedconfig.json "Links" need to be like this.**
"links": [{
"url": "www.product1.com",
"label": "Label1"
},
{
"url": "www.product2.com",
"label": "Label2"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label3"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label4"
}
]
The main concern is this Array is coming inside a JSON file inside some JSON objects
like eg if the Array is inside links[] it will be in a path like : object►login►options►sections►2►links[]. and this Links Array similarly present inside in some other paths eg: object►register►options►sections►2►links[]
So I need to figure out all the Array like this and for each of the Arrays, I need to perform this action.

Just use Array.map and Array.find:
let links= [
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label1"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label2"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label3"
},
{
"url": "www.google.com",
"label": "Label4"
}
];
let plinks= [{
"url": "www.product1.com",
"label": "label1"
},
{
"url": "www.product2.com",
"label": "Label2"
}
];
let results = links.map(lnk=>{
plnk = plinks.find(pl=>pl.label.toLowerCase()===lnk.label.toLowerCase());
return plnk || lnk
});
console.log(results);
for clean access to nested JSON keys you can use ES like this:
let a = {
b: {
c: [1,2,3]
}
};
let {c} = a?.b;
console.log(c);

Nested forEach issue

I have two arrays of object, the first array (printers, around 80 elements) is made of the following type of objects:
[{
printerBrand: 'Mutoh',
printerModel: 'VJ 1204G',
headsBrand: 'Epson',
headType: '',
compatibilty: [
'EDX',
'DT8',
'DT8-Pro',
'ECH',
],
cartridges: [],
},
....
]
The second array (cardridges, around 500 elements) is made of the following type of objects:
[
{
"customData": {
"brand": {
"value": {
"type": "string",
"content": "ECH"
},
"key": "brand"
},
"printer": {
"value": {
"type": "string",
"content": "c4280"
},
"key": "printer"
}
},
"name": "DT8 XLXL",
"image": {
"id": "zLaDHrgbarhFSnXAK",
"url": "https://xxxxxxx.net/images/xxxxxx.jpg"
},
"brandId": "xxxxx",
"companyId": "xxxx",
"createdAt": "2018-03-26T14:39:47.326Z",
"updatedAt": "2018-04-09T14:31:38.169Z",
"points": 60,
"id": "dq2Zezwm4nHr8FhEN"
},
...
]
What I want to do first is to is to iterate through the first array and and then iterate for all the cardridge available: if a the value customData.brand.value of a cardridge is included inside the array 'compatibility' of a printer, then I have to add this cardridge object inside the cardridges array of this printer. I have tried but somehow the iteration doesn't take place correctly. This is what I tried:
printers.forEach((printerItem) => {
const printer = printerItem;
printer.compatibilty.forEach((compatibilityItem) => {
const compatibility = compatibilityItem;
cardridges.forEach((cartridge) => {
if (compatibility === cartridge.customData.brand.value.content) {
printer.cartridges.push(cartridge);
}
});
});
});
What am I doing wrong?

You're accessing the wrong property. It should be cartridge.customData.brandName.value.content, carefully note brandName.value rather than brand.value

Your issue is that you're accessing it by the wrong property - brand and not brandName.
Furthermore, if you're targeting everything but IE, you could simplify your nested for loops to utilize some fancy ES6 array methods.
printers.forEach((p) => {
p.cartridges.push(cartridges.filter((c) => {
const brandName = c.customData.brandName.value.content;
return p.compatibilty.includes(brandName);
}));
});

Iterate through nested Javascript Objects from API response

I've tried 100 different things, and spend days looking through Google and Stackoverflow, but I can't find a solution to this problem. Everything I call after the body of this API response returns undefined!
The response from Facebook SDK looks like this:
[
{
"body": "[
"data": [
{
"name": "Larry Syid Wright",
"administrator": false,
"id": "xxx"
}, {
"name": "Melissa Long Jackson",
"administrator": false,
"id": "xxx"
}, {
"name": "Charlotte Masson",
"administrator": false,
"id": "xxx"
}
],
"paging": {
"next": "url"
}
]"
},{
"body": "{
"data": [
{
"id": "xxx_xxx",
"message": "In honor of Halloween, how many of you have your own ghost stories? Who believes in ghosts and who doesn't?",
"type": "status",
"created_time": "2014-10-31T20:02:01+0000",
"updated_time": "2014-11-01T02:52:51+0000",
"likes": {
"data": [
{
"id": "xxx",
"name": "Joe HerBatman Owenby Jr."
}
],
}
"paging": {
"cursors":
{
"after": "xxx",
"before": "xxx"
}
}
}
},{
"id": "xxx_xxx",
"from": {
"id": "xxx",
"name": "Jessica Starling"
},
"message": "Watching the "Campaign" and I can't help but notice what a fantastic job they did (Will ferrell and all) with that North Carolina accent! Ya'll know we sound different than other southern states ;)",
"type": "status",
"created_time": "2014-11-01T02:36:21+0000",
"updated_time": "2014-11-01T02:36:21+0000",
"likes": {
"data": [
{
"id": "xxx",
"name": "Scott Williams"n
}
]
}
}
],
"paging": {
"previous": "xxx",
"next": "xxx"
}
}"
}
]
This response is from a batch call. If I call them separately, I can easily iterate through the responses, and get everything from them. When I call them in the batch though, I can't get past "body", and I need to use a batch call.
console.log(response[0].body); will return the object inside the body of the first part of the response, but console.log(response[0].body.data); returns undefined. I just don't get it. This should be simple but it's like there's a lock on the door and I don't have the right key.
I normally have no issue iterating through objects, so I don't need a generalized answer. I need help seeing whatever it is here that I don't see. Why does the console show undefined when I call anything after the body, and what do I need to be doing to get any of these values?

That JSON contains nested JSON. body seems to be a string. Use
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);

The values from the body are just strings.which are embedded as json.So firstly you would need to parse them using JSON.parse.
The code would be like
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);
