I was given an existing project where the data structure is below:
[
{
"key": "username",
"value": ""
},
{
"key": "password",
"value": ""
},
{
"key": "cars",
"value": [
{"ABC-1234-1234": "s4LmoNzee9Xr6f7uu/"},
{"ABC-5678-5678": "s5LmoNzee9Xr5f9uu/"}
]
}
]
Cars' value is an array of objects.
To create the initial object in the cars' array, I do the following:
var encryptedStuff = json.data;
var carkey = carid;
var entry = {};
entry[carkey] = encryptedStuff;
var carArray = [];
key="cars";
carArray.push(entry);
I need to push the array into another function that turns it into a string in a stored variable.
My problem...and I'm really rusty on embedded objects...is to do the following:
1.) Get the string
2.) JSON.parse back into an object (I got this far as I'm using a jQuery grep but I'd prefer to use JavaScript).
Here's my problem...
3.) locate the cars key in the object and get its value.
4.) Turn the value into an array to either delete an item or to add one (as per the code above where I'm writing the object into the array.
In the case of adding, I would have to copy the cars' value into the carArray[] and then push the new item into it.
In the case of deleting, I would have to remove the item and push back everything back into the carArray[].
I would do things differently but I can't change the structure of the data as this is approved company-wide.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You don't need to make a copy of the car's value array to add new entries nor make a copy then "push back" to remove an entry - you can reference it directly in the parsed object.
You can use
JSON.parse
array.find
array.push
array.splice
JSON.stringify
Giving:
var source = `[
{
"key": "username",
"value": ""
},
{
"key": "password",
"value": ""
},
{
"key": "cars",
"value": [
{"ABC-1234-1234": "s4LmoNzee9Xr6f7uu/"},
{"ABC-5678-5678": "s5LmoNzee9Xr5f9uu/"}
]
}
]`
// convert json to an object
var data = JSON.parse(source);
console.log(data, data.find(e=>e.key=="cars").value)
// add an item to the cars.value
data.find(e=>e.key=="cars").value.push({"ABC-": "s6..." });
// remove an item from the cars.value
data.find(e=>e.key=="cars").value.splice(1,1);
// confirm items added/removed
console.log(data, data.find(e=>e.key=="cars").value)
// convert back to a strng to send back to the service
var result = JSON.stringify(data);
console.log(result);

I have a list of data displayed on my page that is broken down into divs. Each div represents an array of data in my object, pretty common.
I am trying to add a text box to my page where I can filter out the data and it will narrow down the results shown on the page as more data is entered into the text box.
For that, I added a filter on my ngFor like so: *ngFor="let x of data | filter: filterString".
My text-box then uses ngModel to filter that data down:
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Filter..." name="ruleFilter" id="ruleFilter" [(ngModel)]="filterString" (keyup)="onFilter($event)">
The issue I am having is that the filter seems to only be working with the top layer of data in my object. For example, the data below is what one of the results looks like in my ngFor loop. I can search Omaha just fine since its in the top level and it filters it down correctly.
However, If I look for something like Campus which is nested inside Attribute, it doesn't find it in the filter and no results are shown.
{
"RuleParentID": "618",
"RuleVersionID": "18",
"MappedValue": "1",
"ProcessingOrder": 1,
"KeyID": "1",
"Value": "Omaha",
"IsRuleRetired": "0",
"UserImpactCount": "0",
"Attribute": [
{
"AttributeID": "6",
"AttributeName": "Campus",
"Operator": {
"OperatorID": "3",
"OperatorName": "In List",
"SqlOperator": "IN"
},
"AttributeValue": [
{
"AttrValue": "1",
"Value": "Omaha",
"IsValueRetired": "0",
"disabled": "False"
}
]
},
{
"AttributeID": "14",
"AttributeName": "Grade",
"Operator": {
"OperatorID": "1",
"OperatorName": "Greater Than",
"SqlOperator": ">"
},
"AttributeValue": [
{
"AttrValue": "14",
"Value": "14",
"IsValueRetired": "0",
"disabled": "False"
}
]
}
]
}
Is there any way to have the model look at all layers of the object for my binding instead of just the top layer (which I only assume its doing at this time) ?
Update: Here is a plunker of what my basic setup is like: https://plnkr.co/edit/eywuWmPRseUkmVPbTEOf?p=preview
You will see the data model that searches by the top level properties just fine, but when I search for something nested, I don't get any results back.
If I understand well the question, I think that to flat the data will help you:
var flattenObject = function(ob) {
var toReturn = {};
for (var i in ob) {
if (!ob.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
if ((typeof ob[i]) == 'object') {
var flatObject = flattenObject(ob[i]);
for (var x in flatObject) {
if (!flatObject.hasOwnProperty(x)) continue;
toReturn[i + '.' + x] = flatObject[x];
}
} else {
toReturn[i] = ob[i];
}
}
return toReturn;
};
let newData = flattenObject(data);
Code source: https://gist.github.com/penguinboy/762197
To achieve expected result , use below option
1.In your component below variable
jsonVal:any=JSON; // for using JSON.stringify and indexOf
Use *ngIf to filter value from input with indexOf
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="filterString">
<div *ngFor="let data of result">
<div *ngIf="jsonVal.stringify(data).indexOf(filterString)!= -1">{{data| json}}</div>
</div>
code sample for reference - https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ht2afv?file=app/app.component.html
Just for testing , I have added another Object with Campus2 and Omaha2
When filtering on a nested property of data you can use the map function or similar.
This will be in your component and not the template. Filtering using pipes in the template is discouraged by the Angular team for performance reasons.
Instead I would do something like this:
const data = [{//your data}]
let filteredData = [];
data.map(val => {
if (val.Attribute.filter(name => name.AttributeName === "Foo").length > 0) {
filteredData.push(val)
}
});
I am assuming your data is an array of objects.
Beware I am mutating my data object. To avoid this you do this:
const data = [{//your original data}]
const dataToFilter = JSON.Parse(JSON.stringify(data))
This will make copy of your data without references to your original object. Useful if you want to clear your filter. Not useful if your data object contains functions.
On re-reading your question I think this is not the solution you were looking for but rather a method to look anywhere in the data. For this you should probably flatten your data as suggested by Zelda7. Another approach would be to extend a filtering method to explicitly filter on all relevant fields.
I am writing to a json file in casperjs and am trying to add new objects to it.
json file looks like
{ "visited": [
{
"id": "258b5ee8-9538-4480-8109-58afe741dc2f",
"url": "https://................"
},
{
"id": "5304de97-a970-48f2-9d3b-a750bad5416c",
"url": "https://.............."
},
{
"id": "0fc7a072-7e94-46d6-b38c-9c7aedbdaded",
"url": "https://................."
}]}
The code to add to the array is
var data;
if (fs.isFile(FILENAME)) {
data = fs.read(FILENAME);
} else {
data = JSON.stringify({ 'visited': [] });
}
var json = JSON.parse(data);
json.visited.push(visiteddata);
data = JSON.stringify(json, null, '\n');
fs.write(FILENAME, data, "a");
This is starting off by adding an new { "visited" : [ ] } array with first couple of objects, below the existing { "visited" : [ ] } array and subsequently the script breaks because the json array is no longer valid json.
Can anybody point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.
You have a JSON file containing some data.
You:
Read that data
Modify that data
Append the modified version of that data to the original file
This means the file now has the original data and then, immediately after it, a near identical copy with a little bit added.
You don't need the original. You only need the new version.
You need to write to the file instead of appending to it.
Change the 'a' flag to 'w'.
I've got the following document named "clients" which includes id, name and list of projects (array of objects):
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "572225d997bb651819f379f7"
},
"name": "ppg",
"projects": [
{
"name": "aaa",
"job_description": "",
"projectID": 20
},
{
"name": "bbbb",
"job_description": "",
"projectID": 21
}
]
}
I would like to update "job_description" of project with given "projectID" like this:
module.exports.saveJobDesc = function(client, idOfProject, textProvided) {
db.clients.update({ name: client},
{ $set: {'projects.0.job_description': textProvided }});
};
But instead of hardcoded index "0" of array I want to find specific project using "projectID". Is there a way to achieve this without changing the structure of collection and/or document?
If you want to update the "job_description" where name="ppg" and project_id=20 then you can use below mongo query:-
db.clients.update({ "name":"ppg","projects.projectID":20 },{$set: {"projects.$.job_description": "abcd"}})
Please let me know if any thing else is required
You cannot update multiple array elements in single update operation, instead you can update one by one which takes time depends upon number of elements in array and number of such documents in collection. see New operator to update all matching items in an array
db.test2.find().forEach( function(doc) {
var projects = doc.projects;
for(var i=0;i<projects.length;i++){
var project = projects[i];
if(project.projectID == 20){
var field = "projects."+i+".job_description";
var query = {};
query[field] = "textasdsd";
db.test2.update({ _id: doc._id},{ $set:query});
}
}
})
Have got a json file exported from mysql. One particular line is not a well represented json object, i'm trying to convert this to a proper array of object.
var data = "{"54":
{"ID":"54",
"QTY":"1",
"NAME":"Large",
"TOTAL":1.86
},
"TOTAL":10.54,
"313":
{"ID":"313",
"QTY":2,
"NAME":"Quater Pounder",
"TOTAL":8.68
}
}"
//and wants to make it:
var data = [
{"ID" : "54",
"QTY" : "1",
"NAME": "Quarter Pounder",
"TOTAL": 8.68
},
{"ID":"313",
"QTY":2,
"NAME": "Quater Pounder",
"TOTAL":8.68
}
]
I was able to fix this by using angular.forEach(response, function(item){}), I then created a childArray, which I pushed the result of the above into.
Please see code:
angular.forEach( $scope.response, function (item) {
item.childrenList = [];
angular.forEach( JSON.parse( item.details ), function (value, id) {
item.childrenList.push( value );
})
});
I have a json url that returns data in the format
{
"photos" : [
{
"id": 1, "image":"https://path/to/my/image/1.jpg"
},
{
"id": 2, "image":"https://path/to/my/image/2.jpg"
}
]
}
I'm using the json in a javascript function, and need to manipulate it to remove the root key. i.e. I want something that looks like
[
{
"id": 1, "image":"https://path/to/my/image/1.jpg"
},
{
"id": 2, "image":"https://path/to/my/image/2.jpg"
}
]
I've been hacking around with various approaches, and have referred to several similar posts on SO, but nothing seems to work. The following seems like it should.
var url = 'http://path/to/my/json/feed.json';
var jsonSource = $.getJSON( url );
var jsonParsed = $.parseJSON(jsonSource);
var jsonFeed = jsonParsed.photos
What am I doing wrong?
A couple of issues there.
That's invalid JSON, in two different ways. A) The : after "photos" means that it's a property initializer, but it's inside an array ([...]) when it should be inside an object ({...}). B) There are extra " characters in front of the images keys. So the first thing is to fix that.
You're trying to use the return value of $.getJSON as though it were a string containing the JSON text. But $.getJSON returns a jqXHR object. You need to give it a success callback. That callback will be called with an object graph, the JSON is automatically parsed for you.
Assuming the JSON is fixed to look like this:
{
"photos": [
{
"id": 1,
"image": "https://path/to/my/image/1.jpg"
},
{
"id": 2,
"image": "https://path/to/my/image/2.jpg"
}
]
}
Then:
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
var photos = data.photos;
// `photos` now refers to the array of photos
});
