How do I pull a nested object out of an array with an api request returned json?

I have an API that I am calling to return a query. This query's format cannot be changed to be easier to manipulate. It has a nested array within it that I need to associate with the data from the higher levels.
Specifically, I am trying to pull the higher level id field and and the "value" field within "column_values" and associate them with one another preferably within a new array. I feel like the answer is here but I just can't grasp how to pull the data in the correct format and associate it together. Most of the comment lines can probably be ignored, they are my other attempts at making the syntax work correctly. Sorry about the mess. I'm really new to this.
const axios = require('axios')
const body = {
query: ` query {boards(ids:307027197) {name, items {name id column_values(ids:lockbox_) {title id value text}}}} `,
}
console.log("Requesting Query....");
function getApi (callback){
setTimeout(function() {axios.post(`https://api.monday.com/v2`, body, {
headers: {
MY_API_KEY_DATA
},
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err.data)
})
.then(res => {
var queried = res
var array = queried.data.data.boards[0].items
//console.log(queried)
//console.log(array)
console.log(array.length)
//console.log("Total Items:", array.length)
var i;
for (i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
callback(queried.data.data.boards[0].items)
//callback([(queried.data.data.boards[0].items[i].column_values[0])])
}
}, 0);
})
};
getApi(callback => {
console.log(callback)
//console.log(parsed)
//output for above
//{"name":"address","id":"1234","column_values":
//[{"title":"Lockbox#","id":"lockbox_","value":"\"31368720\"","text":"31368720"}]}
//console.log(JSON.parse(parsed))
//output for above
//[
// {
// name: 'address',
// id: '353428429',
// column_values: [ [Object] ]
// }
//]
});
setTimeout(function() {
console.log("Query Returned")},1000);

From your data, column_values is an array with objects in it. For an array, you will have to access it with the key. For your case, if your data is like
var data = {
"name":"address",
"id":"1234",
"column_values": [{"title":"Lockbox#","id":"lockbox_","value":"\"31368720\"","text":"31368720"}]
}
You can access the id of column_values as data.column_values[0].id

Vue computed property changes the data object

I have basically this structure for my data (this.terms):
{
name: 'First Category',
posts: [
{
name: 'Jim James',
tags: [
'nice', 'friendly'
]
},
{
name: 'Bob Ross',
tags: [
'nice', 'talkative'
]
}
]
},
{
name: 'Second Category',
posts: [
{
name: 'Snake Pliskin',
tags: [
'mean', 'hungry'
]
},
{
name: 'Hugo Weaving',
tags: [
'mean', 'angry'
]
}
]
}
I then output computed results so people can filter this.terms by tags.
computed: {
filteredTerms: function() {
let self = this;
let terms = this.terms; // copy original data to new var
if(this.search.tags) {
return terms.filter((term) => {
let updated_term = {}; // copy term to new empty object: This doesn't actually help or fix the problem, but I left it here to show what I've tried.
updated_term = term;
let updated_posts = term.posts.filter((post) => {
if (post.tags.includes(self.search.tags)) {
return post;
}
});
if (updated_posts.length) {
updated_term.posts = updated_posts; // now this.terms is changed even though I'm filtering a copy of it
return updated_term;
}
});
} else {
return this.terms; // should return the original, unmanipulated data
}
}
},
filteredTerms() returns categories with only the matching posts inside it. So a search for "angry" returns just "Second Category" with just "Hugo Weaving" listed.
The problem is, running the computed function changes Second Category in this.terms instead of just in the copy of it (terms) in that function. It no longer contains Snake Pliskin. I've narrowed it down to updated_term.posts = updated_posts. That line seems to also change this.terms. The only thing that I can do is reset the entire data object and start over. This is less than ideal, because it would be loading stuff all the time. I need this.terms to load initially, and remain untouched so I can revert to it after someone clears their search criterea.
I've tried using lodash versions of filter and includes (though I didn't really expect that to make a difference). I've tried using a more complicated way with for loops and .push() instead of filters.
What am I missing? Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Try to clone the object not to reference it, you should do something like :
let terms = [];
Object.assign(terms,this.terms);

let terms = this.terms;
This does not copy an array, it just holds a reference to this.terms. The reason is because JS objects and arrays are reference types. This is a helpful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ooYYRLdg_g
Anyways, copy the array using this.terms.slice(). If it's an object, you can use {...this.terms}.

I updated my compute function with this:
let terms = [];
for (let i = 0; i < this.terms.length; i++) {
const term = this.copyObj(this.terms[i]);
terms.push(term);
}
and made a method (this.copyObj()) so I can use it elsewhere. It looks like this:
copyObj: function (src) {
return Object.assign({}, src);
}

Pushing responses of axios request into array

I have been pounding my head against this problem, and need help with a solution. I have an array of IDs within a JSON, and I am iterating over that array and making a GET request of each ID. I want to then push the response of those GET requests into an array.
Here is the function I am using to push the registrations into the array. It is iterating through an array of IDs:
getRegistrations = async (event) => {
let registrations = [];
await event.registrations.forEach(registration => axios.get('/event/getRegistration', {
params: {
id: registration
}
}).then(res => {
registrations.push(res.data.properties)
}
).catch(err => console.log(err)));
return registrations;
};
Here is where I am calling that code:
render() {
let event = this.getEvent();
let registrations2 = [{
age: 19,
bio: 'test',
firstName: 'hello',
lastName: 'bye',
password: 'adadas',
telephone: "4920210213"
}];
if (this.props.listOfEvents.events.length !== 0 && !this.props.listOfEvents.gettingList && event) { //check if the array is empty and list has not been rendered yet
let columns = [];
let registrations = this.getRegistrations(event);
console.log(registrations);
let eventProperties = event.properties[0];
Object.keys(eventProperties).forEach(key => columns.push({
title: eventProperties[key].title,
dataIndex: key,
key: key
}));
console.log(registrations);
console.log(registrations2);
return (
<h1>hi</h1>
)
}
return <Loading/>
}
When I console-log 'registrations' vs 'registrations2' they should be very identical. However, in the javascript console on Google Chrome, 'registrations appears as '[]' where 'registrations2' appears as '[{...}]'.
I know that it is an issue related to promises (I am returning the registrations array before actually pushing) but I have no idea how to fix it! Some friendly help would be very much appreciated!

I recommend Promise.all, it will resolve single Promise after all promises have resolved. And technically async function is also promise so it will return promise.
here the example.

You need to use componentDidMount()lifecycle method for proper execution and state to store the data.
constructor (props) {
super(props);
this.state = {registrations :[]}
}
componentDidMount () {
let response = this.getRegistrations()
this.setState({registrations : response});
}
Then access that state in render method. It's not good practice to call api from render mothod.

Since getRegistrations(event) returns a promise, you should perform operations on its return value inside then.
Instead of
let registrations = this.getRegistrations(event);
console.log(registrations);
Do this
this.getRegistrations(event).then(registrations => {
console.log(registrations);
// other operations on registrations
});

Array filtering based on properties in object

Well I am stuck here and I would appreciate some directions of methods I can accomplish this with.
I got an array with questions:
questions: [
{
question: 'lala',
answer: 'papa',
categories: ['Handla']
},
{
question: 'xxxx',
answer: 'yyyy',
categories: ['Reklamation']
}
]
Based on the categories I want to be able to list the questions accordingly when filtering.
So lets say I want to filter on 'Handla' I should be able to loop out all the questions that has the value 'Handla' matched in the categories array.
mapping through the questions array and doing returning them with an if/else statement will work but im not sure this is the optimal way.
Summary: I want to iterate through questions and pick out objects that matches with my desired category query.
My desired output when requesting "Reklamation" should be
const desiredArray = [{
{
question: 'xxxx',
answer: 'yyyy',
categories: ['Reklamation']
}
}]

Use Array#filter and check if the category (Reklamation in the example) is found in the categories array using Array#includes:
const questions = [{"question":"lala","answer":"papa","categories":["Handla"]},{"question":"xxxx","answer":"yyyy","categories":["Reklamation"]}];
const result = questions.filter(({ categories }) => categories.includes('Reklamation'));
console.log(result);

Try this
var result = questions.filter((item) => item.categories.find((cat) => cat === 'Reklamation'))

You can use array#filter with array.indexOf.
var data = {questions: [{question: 'lala',answer: 'papa',categories: ['Handla']},{question: 'xxxx',answer: 'yyyy',categories: ['Reklamation']}]},
category = 'Reklamation',
result = data.questions.filter(({categories}) => categories.indexOf(category) > -1);
console.log(result);

I would create a reusable function that you can call whenever you want to search by category:
const filterByCategory = (questions, category) => {
return questions.filter(q => q.categories.includes(category))
}
filterByCategory(questions, 'Reklamation');
filter takes a callback that returns true if you want to keep the element.
Please see the filter and includes docs for more info

Transform an array of strings to an array of objects with two intermediary $.getJSON calls

Input: an array of username strings
Needed output: an array of Javascript Objects that correspond to each username in the input. The properties for these JS objects is to be built from two API calls for each username (I am using $.getJSON calls. Suggestions welcome).
I have an array of usernames for the Twitch API:
let users = ["OgamingSC2", "storbeck", "comster404"] // actual list is longer
I want to use the Array.prototype.map() higher order function to create an array of objects like
let userObjects = [ {...}, {...}, {...}, ... ]
where each object looks like:
{
username: 'storbeck' // <-- Added by me
stream: null, // <-- Added by first API call
_links: { // <-- Added by first API call
self:'https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/storbeck',
channel:'https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/storbeck'
}
logo: 'http:// ... png' // <-- Added by second API call
}
These are the two API call functions that return the $.getJSON Promises:
let getStreamInfo = (username) => {
return $.getJSON('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/'+username+'?callback=?')
.then((x) => x) // should I include this then?
}
let getUserInfo = (twitchObject) => {
return $.getJSON('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/'+ twitchObject.user )
}
What I have so far in my code, which isn't resulting in the intended objects is:
let userObjects = users.map((user)=>{
return getStreamInfo(user)
.done((data) => {
let result = {
username: user,
data: data
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(result)) // prints out the intended object so far
return result
})
})
Now when I print out the contents of userObjects, I get:
"{}"
"{}"
"{}"
// ... and so on
Going further, I'd like to chain userObjects and add more to each JS object from whatever I get in the getUserInfo function.
I'd like to go into how this can be done with functional Javascript, but this isn't necessary.

You are on the right way, you need only small edit on your functions.
let getStreamInfo = (username) => {
return $.getJSON('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/'+username+'?callback=?');
}
let getUserInfo = (user) => {
return $.getJSON('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/'+ user);
}
let userObjects = [];
The core function instead needs Promise synchronization:
users.map((user)=>{
Promise.all(getStreamInfo(user), getUserInfo(user)).then((data)=>{
let obj = {
username: user,
stream: data[0].stream,
_links: data[0]._links,
logo: data[1].logo
}
userObjects.push(obj);
});
});
