Replace = with : in serialized data - javascript

i'm recieving a serialzed data in the form as
error_message=%7B%0D%0A+null+%7D&systemId=53183&cert-id=176061&score=0&q2c=3%5C0&q2t=&answer_data=0000
how can i replace the = with : using typescript and replace should be for all the occurence of = except first that is error_message=value&systemId:value&cert-id=value and so on
i was trying with splice but it seems to be a long process and not that fast as the string grows.

You can do that by splitting the string by = and then treating the first element different from all others:
const input = 'error_message=%7B%0D%0A+null+%7D&systemId=53183&cert-id=176061&score=0&q2c=3%5C0&q2t=&answer_data=0000';
const repl = (inp) => {
const [firstEl, ...rest] = inp.split(/\=/); // Split by '='
return `${firstEl}=${rest.join(':')}`; // <first el> + '=' + <all other elements joined by ':'>
}
console.log(repl(input));

It looks like these are URL search query parameters, so you can get them in a more manageable format using the URLSearchParams constructor, then manipulate them however you want:
const queryString = 'error_message=%7B%0D%0A+null+%7D&systemId=53183&cert-id=176061&score=0&q2c=3%5C0&q2t=&answer_data=0000'
const [ first, ...rest ] = [...new URLSearchParams(queryString)]
.map(([k, v]) => [k, v].map(encodeURIComponent))
// assuming you still want URI encoding, else remove mapping
const result = [
first.join(':'),
...rest.map(x => x.join('=')),
].join('&')
console.log(result)

You can get the first '=' with the method indexOf(), then slice the string into the two different parts (one before the first '=' and one after) and replace the following equal signs
const string = "error_message=%7B%0D%0A+null+%7D&systemId=53183&cert-id=176061&score=0&q2c=3%5C0&q2t=&answer_data=0000"
const firstSignIndex = string.indexOf('=')
const result = string.slice(0, firstSignIndex+1) + string.slice(firstSignIndex+1).replace(/=/g, ':')
console.log(result)

Check this out, this will help you to replace the = with : except the first occurrence of = in your serialized string.
let a = 'error_message=%7B%0D%0A+null+%7D&systemId=53183&cert-id=176061&score=0&q2c=3%5C0&q2t=&answer_data=0000',
firstOcc = a.indexOf("error_message=") + 'error_message='.length,
starterStr = a.substring(0, firstOcc),
replacedStr = a.substring(firstOcc, a.length).replace(/=/g, ':');
console.log(starterStr + replacedStr);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
You can make changes based on your needs firstOcc = a.indexOf("error_message=") + 'error_message='.length,

Apply template string dynamically in JavaScript [duplicate]

I have a string with say: My Name is %NAME% and my age is %AGE%.
%XXX% are placeholders. We need to substitute values there from an object.
Object looks like: {"%NAME%":"Mike","%AGE%":"26","%EVENT%":"20"}
I need to parse the object and replace the string with corresponding values. So that final output will be:
My Name is Mike and my age is 26.
The whole thing has to be done either using pure javascript or jquery.
The requirements of the original question clearly couldn't benefit from string interpolation, as it seems like it's a runtime processing of arbitrary replacement keys.
However, if you just had to do string interpolation, you can use:
const str = `My name is ${replacements.name} and my age is ${replacements.age}.`
Note the backticks delimiting the string, they are required.
For an answer suiting the particular OP's requirement, you could use String.prototype.replace() for the replacements.
The following code will handle all matches and not touch ones without a replacement (so long as your replacement values are all strings, if not, see below).
var replacements = {"%NAME%":"Mike","%AGE%":"26","%EVENT%":"20"},
str = 'My Name is %NAME% and my age is %AGE%.';
str = str.replace(/%\w+%/g, function(all) {
return replacements[all] || all;
});
jsFiddle.
If some of your replacements are not strings, be sure they exists in the object first. If you have a format like the example, i.e. wrapped in percentage signs, you can use the in operator to achieve this.
jsFiddle.
However, if your format doesn't have a special format, i.e. any string, and your replacements object doesn't have a null prototype, use Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty(), unless you can guarantee that none of your potential replaced substrings will clash with property names on the prototype.
jsFiddle.
Otherwise, if your replacement string was 'hasOwnProperty', you would get a resultant messed up string.
jsFiddle.
As a side note, you should be called replacements an Object, not an Array.
How about using ES6 template literals?
var a = "cat";
var b = "fat";
console.log(`my ${a} is ${b}`); //notice back-ticked string
More about template literals...
Currently there is still no native solution in Javascript for this behavior. Tagged templates are something related, but don't solve it.
Here there is a refactor of alex's solution with an object for replacements.
The solution uses arrow functions and a similar syntax for the placeholders as the native Javascript interpolation in template literals ({} instead of %%). Also there is no need to include delimiters (%) in the names of the replacements.
There are two flavors (three with the update): descriptive, reduced, elegant reduced with groups.
Descriptive solution:
const stringWithPlaceholders = 'My Name is {name} and my age is {age}.';
const replacements = {
name: 'Mike',
age: '26',
};
const string = stringWithPlaceholders.replace(
/{\w+}/g,
placeholderWithDelimiters => {
const placeholderWithoutDelimiters = placeholderWithDelimiters.substring(
1,
placeholderWithDelimiters.length - 1,
);
const stringReplacement = replacements[placeholderWithoutDelimiters] || placeholderWithDelimiters;
return stringReplacement;
},
);
console.log(string);
Reduced solution:
const stringWithPlaceholders = 'My Name is {name} and my age is {age}.';
const replacements = {
name: 'Mike',
age: '26',
};
const string = stringWithPlaceholders.replace(/{\w+}/g, placeholder =>
replacements[placeholder.substring(1, placeholder.length - 1)] || placeholder
);
console.log(string);
UPDATE 2020-12-10
Elegant reduced solution with groups, as suggested by #Kade in the comments:
const stringWithPlaceholders = 'My Name is {name} and my age is {age}.';
const replacements = {
name: 'Mike',
age: '26',
};
const string = stringWithPlaceholders.replace(
/{(\w+)}/g,
(placeholderWithDelimiters, placeholderWithoutDelimiters) =>
replacements[placeholderWithoutDelimiters] || placeholderWithDelimiters
);
console.log(string);
UPDATE 2021-01-21
Support empty string as a replacement, as suggested by #Jesper in the comments:
const stringWithPlaceholders = 'My Name is {name} and my age is {age}.';
const replacements = {
name: 'Mike',
age: '',
};
const string = stringWithPlaceholders.replace(
/{(\w+)}/g,
(placeholderWithDelimiters, placeholderWithoutDelimiters) =>
replacements.hasOwnProperty(placeholderWithoutDelimiters) ?
replacements[placeholderWithoutDelimiters] : placeholderWithDelimiters
);
console.log(string);
You can use JQuery(jquery.validate.js) to make it work easily.
$.validator.format("My name is {0}, I'm {1} years old",["Bob","23"]);
Or if you want to use just that feature you can define that function and just use it like
function format(source, params) {
$.each(params,function (i, n) {
source = source.replace(new RegExp("\\{" + i + "\\}", "g"), n);
})
return source;
}
alert(format("{0} is a {1}", ["Michael", "Guy"]));

As with modern browser, placeholder is supported by new version of Chrome / Firefox, similar as the C style function printf().
Placeholders:
%s String.
%d,%i Integer number.
%f Floating point number.
%o Object hyperlink.
e.g.
console.log("generation 0:\t%f, %f, %f", a1a1, a1a2, a2a2);
BTW, to see the output:
In Chrome, use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + J or F12 to open developer tool.
In Firefox, use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + K or F12 to open developer tool.
#Update - nodejs support
Seems nodejs don't support %f, instead, could use %d in nodejs.
With %d number will be printed as floating number, not just integer.
Just use replace()
var values = {"%NAME%":"Mike","%AGE%":"26","%EVENT%":"20"};
var substitutedString = "My Name is %NAME% and my age is %AGE%.".replace("%NAME%", $values["%NAME%"]).replace("%AGE%", $values["%AGE%"]);
You can use a custom replace function like this:
var str = "My Name is %NAME% and my age is %AGE%.";
var replaceData = {"%NAME%":"Mike","%AGE%":"26","%EVENT%":"20"};
function substitute(str, data) {
var output = str.replace(/%[^%]+%/g, function(match) {
if (match in data) {
return(data[match]);
} else {
return("");
}
});
return(output);
}
var output = substitute(str, replaceData);
You can see it work here: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/DyCwk/.
If you want to do something closer to console.log like replacing %s placeholders like in
>console.log("Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?", "Loreto", "today", "allright")
>Hello Loreto how are you today is everything allright?
I wrote this
function log() {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
var rep= args.slice(1, args.length);
var i=0;
var output = args[0].replace(/%s/g, function(match,idx) {
var subst=rep.slice(i, ++i);
return( subst );
});
return(output);
}
res=log("Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?", "Loreto", "today", "allright");
document.getElementById("console").innerHTML=res;
<span id="console"/>
you will get
>log("Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?", "Loreto", "today", "allright")
>"Hello Loreto how are you today is everything allright?"
UPDATE
I have added a simple variant as String.prototype useful when dealing with string transformations, here is it:
String.prototype.log = function() {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
var rep= args.slice(0, args.length);
var i=0;
var output = this.replace(/%s|%d|%f|%#/g, function(match,idx) {
var subst=rep.slice(i, ++i);
return( subst );
});
return output;
}
In that case you will do
"Hello %s how are you %s is everything %s?".log("Loreto", "today", "allright")
"Hello Loreto how are you today is everything allright?"

This allows you to do exactly that
NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/stringinject
GitHub: https://github.com/tjcafferkey/stringinject
By doing the following:
var str = stringInject("My username is {username} on {platform}", { username: "tjcafferkey", platform: "GitHub" });
// My username is tjcafferkey on Git
I have written a code that lets you format string easily.
Use this function.
function format() {
if (arguments.length === 0) {
throw "No arguments";
}
const string = arguments[0];
const lst = string.split("{}");
if (lst.length !== arguments.length) {
throw "Placeholder format mismatched";
}
let string2 = "";
let off = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < lst.length; i++) {
if (off < arguments.length) {
string2 += lst[i] + arguments[off++]
} else {
string2 += lst[i]
}
}
return string2;
}
Example
format('My Name is {} and my age is {}', 'Mike', 26);
Output
My Name is Mike and my age is 26
Another solution if you're using node.js is StackExchange's own formatUnicorn utility function (https://www.npmjs.com/package/format-unicorn):
let x = {name:'jason', food:'pine cones'};
let s = '{name} enjoys a delicious bowl of {food}';
let formatted = x.formatUnicorn(s);
Also, a bit of an edge case, but if you aren't using Node but you do just happen to be writing a userscript for SE sites, then formatUnicorn will already be on the String prototype.
As a quick example:
var name = 'jack';
var age = 40;
console.log('%s is %d yrs old',name,age);
The output is:
jack is 40 yrs old
Here is another way of doing this by using es6 template literals dynamically at runtime.
const str = 'My name is ${name} and my age is ${age}.'
const obj = {name:'Simon', age:'33'}
const result = new Function('const {' + Object.keys(obj).join(',') + '} = this.obj;return `' + str + '`').call({obj})
document.body.innerHTML = result
const stringInject = (str = '', obj = {}) => {
let newStr = str;
Object.keys(obj).forEach((key) => {
let placeHolder = `#${key}#`;
if(newStr.includes(placeHolder)) {
newStr = newStr.replace(placeHolder, obj[key] || " ");
}
});
return newStr;
}
Input: stringInject("Hi #name#, How are you?", {name: "Ram"});
Output: "Hi Ram, How are you?"
ES6:
const strFormat = (str, ...args) => args.reduce((s, v) => s.replace('%s', v), str);
// Use it like:
const result = strFormat('%s is %s yrs old', 'name', 23);
Lots of good/similar answers here. I wanted the ability to easily get a nested key in an object (or perhaps some JSON data structure) for substitution, so I took the following simple approach:
const getKey = (d, path) => {
// path can be a string like 'key1.key2' or an iterable of keys
if (typeof(path) === 'string') {
path = path.split('.')
}
return path.reduce((x, y) => x[y], d)
}
const inject = (str, obj) => str.replace(/\${(.*?)}/g, (x,g)=> getKey(obj, g));
// Example
> const str = 'there are ${a} ways to ${b.c}'
undefined
> inject(str, {'a':'many', 'b': {'c': 'skin a cat'}})
'there are many ways to skin a cat'
Some inspiration from this and this.
This is a merged solution of Gerson Diniz and Shubham Vyas.
It is possible to pass a set of arguments or an object.
function strSwap(str) {
if (!str) return null;
let args = [];
for (let a of arguments)
args.push(a);
args.shift();
if (!args.length) return null;
// replacement by object - {{prop}}
if (!!(args[0].constructor && args[0].constructor.name.toLowerCase() === 'object')) {
for (let i in args[0]) {
let n = `{{${i}}}`;
str = str.includes(n) ? str.replaceAll(n, args[0][i] + '') : str;
}
}
// replacement by placeholders - %s
else {
str = args.reduce((s, v) => s.replace('%s', v), str);
}
return str;
}
// ---------------------
console.log(strSwap('Hello %s, my name is %s.', 'alice', 'bob'));
console.log(strSwap('Hello {{a}}, my name is {{b}}. Hello {{b}}.', {
a: 'alice',
b: 'bob'
}));

Array of String Search in express.js

I have array of string like this
let search = ["user","country"];
I want to get data from mysql database using LIKE operator.
For example like this
searchStmnt = `u.u_fullname LIKE "%` + search + `%"`
But the above code is not working. Can anyone suggest me how to do that?
const search = ["user", "country"];
const searchStmnt = search.map(item => `u.u_fullname LIKE '%${item}%'`).join(" OR ");
console.log(searchStmnt);
...or with REGEXP:
const search = ["user", "country"];
const searchStmnt = `u.u_fullname REGEXP '(${search.join("|")})'`;
console.log(searchStmnt);

Returning all of the specified integers from a string into an array

The URL query after a decodeURIComponent and a split() looks like this ["pcs_availability:Online", "price:[1500 TO 1999.99]"] the results I am looking for is returning an array with the proper integer like [1999.99]. But there can be more than 1 price range in URL query string for example ["pcs_availability:Online", "price:[250 TO 499.99]:[500 TO 999.99]:[1500 TO 1999.99]"]. Which should return [499.99, 999.99, 1999.99]. I forgot to mention that the price positioning in the array could be different depending on the other URL queries. So that it's not always going to be guaranteed to be in the same spot.
This was the approach taken.
const pattern = /^price:{1,2}\[.*? TO (.*)]$/;
const price = query
.map(q => {
const match = pattern.exec(q);
return match;
});
Which returns this. I tried modifying the regex but unfortunately I haven't been able to get the results that I am looking for.
["price:[250 TO 499.99]:[500 TO 999.99]:[1500 TO 1999.99]", "1999.99", index: 0, input: "price:[250 TO 499.99]:[500 TO 999.99]:[1500 TO 1999.99]", groups: undefined]
Firstly, save the string you want into a variable - then split off the first part ("price"), and then just map the rest with a numbers and dot matching regex, converting into a number at the end:
const data = ["pcs_availability:Online", "price:[250 TO 499.99]:[500 TO 999.99]:[1500 TO 1999.99]"];
let str = data.find(e => e.includes("price"));
let [,...allPrices] = str.split(":");
let prices = allPrices.map(s => s.split("TO")[1].match(/[0-9\.]+/)[0]);
prices = prices.map(n => +n);
console.log(prices);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100%; top: auto; }
Would that work for you?
const arr = ["pcs_availability:Online", "price:[250 TO 499.99]:[500 TO 999.99]:[1500 TO 1999.99]"]
result = arr
.find(e => e.includes('price'))
.match(/(?<=TO )\d+\.\d+/g)
console.log(result)
.as-console-wrapper{min-height:100%;}

how to build a recursively JSON from from string in Javascript?

I have a string that could be in this form : 'school,room,teacher,pencil' or it could be 'school,room,teacher' .
What I want to do is after splitting the string , every word should have this structure :
{node:word,group:word-1,groupN:word-2 ...}
For example for the word room the structure would be {node:"room",group:"school"}
for the word teacher it would be {node:"teacher",group:"room",groupN:"school"}
for the word pencil it would be {word:"pencil",group:"teacher",groupN:"room",groupNN:"school"}
I did like that but it's not standard way :
var str="xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx"
var splitedStr = str.split(",")
for(var i=0;i<splitedStr.length;i++) {
var data = {node :splitedStr[i],group:splitedStr[i-1],groupN:splitedStr[i-2]}
}
Please do you have any idea how can i do that ?
Try this:
const getJson= (elName, textElements) => {
const elements = textElements.split(',');
const elementIdx = elements.findIndex(el => el===elName)
let result = {room:elName}
if (elementIdx>=0)
elements.slice(0,elementIdx).map((el, idx)=>{
result['group'+Array(elementIdx - idx).join("N") ] = el
})
return result
}
Ad use like this:
const arr = 'school,room,teacher,pencil'
console.log(getJson('room', arr))
console.log(getJson('teacher', arr))
console.log(getJson('pencil', arr))

How to get inner array in javascript

I'm trying to get all the contents from an array.
This is the function that extracts the data for display via innerHTML:
window.location.href = 'gonative://contacts/getAll?callback=contacts_callback';
function contacts_callback(obj) {
var contactinfo = obj.contacts.map(({givenName}) => givenName) + " " +
obj.contacts.map(({familyName}) => familyName) + " " + " (" +
obj.contacts.map(({organizationName}) => organizationName) + ") " +
obj.contacts.map(({phoneNumbers.phoneNumber}) => phoneNumbers.phoneNumber) + "<br>";
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = contactinfo;
}
This is an example of what the input looks like when there are only 2 contacts:
{"success":true,"contacts":[
{
"emailAddresses":[],
"phoneNumbers":
[
{
"label":"unknown",
"phoneNumber":"XXX-XXXXXXX"
}
],
"givenName":"John",
"organizationName":"Apple",
"familyName":"Appleseed",
},
{
"emailAddresses":[],
"phoneNumbers":
[
{
"label":"unknown",
"phoneNumber":"XXX-XXXXXXX"
}
],
"givenName":"John",
"organizationName":"Apple",
"familyName":"Appleseed",
},
]
}
I just want the result to be listed as:
John Appleseed (Apple) XXX-XXXXXXX
John Appleseed (Apple) XXX-XXXXXXX
Two issues:
You are displaying all given names, then all family names, ...etc, each with a separate .map() call. Instead only perform one .map() call on the array and then display the properties for each iterated object.
phoneNumbers.phoneNumber is not a correct reference. phoneNumbers is an array, so you should iterate it.
Also:
Template literals make it maybe a bit easier to build the string
You can use .join("<br>") to glue the lines together with line breaks.
Here is a corrected version:
function contacts_callback(obj) {
var contactinfo = obj.contacts.map(o =>
`${o.givenName} ${o.familyName} (${o.organizationName}) ${
o.phoneNumbers.map(n => n.phoneNumber)
}`)
.join("<br>");
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = contactinfo;
}
// Demo
var obj = {"success":true,"contacts":[{"emailAddresses":[],"phoneNumbers":[{"label":"unknown","phoneNumber":"XXX-XXXXXXX"}],"givenName":"John","organizationName":"Apple","familyName":"Appleseed",},{"emailAddresses":[],"phoneNumbers":[{"label":"unknown","phoneNumber":"XXX-XXXXXXX"}],"givenName":"John","organizationName":"Apple","familyName":"Appleseed",},]};
contacts_callback(obj);
<div id="demo"></div>
It is hard to give an answer since is hard to tell what you can have in your phoneNumbers array and if you will also display one line for each phone number in that array.
I'll do something like this:
function contacts_callback(obj) {
let arrayContacts = [];
// Iterate over all your contacts
obj.contacts.forEach(item => {
// Iterate over each contact's phone numbers
item.phoneNumbers.forEach(phone => {
// Building your string with string interpolation and pushing to result array
// You could also add <br> or other tags needed here
arrayContacts.push(`${item.givenName} ${item.familyName} (${item.organizationName}) ${phone.phoneNumber}`);
});
});
// Return your array, use it in your innerHTNL, etc.
return arrayContacts;
}
If Your obj is called "obj", than:
const result = obj.contacts.map(contact =>{
return `${contact.givenName} ${contact.familyName} (${contact.organizationName}) ${contact.phoneNumbers[0].phoneNumber}`
}
this code will give back an array of informations that U asked, but if user has more than 1 phone number, it will take only first from the list
