Is there way to rearange objects in array that the value becomes the key?

I'm stuck on this type of situation where the values of the object is changed to a different value. Is there way to shift a value to a key or would simply deleting and adding be better? I tried to loop to see which of the keys overlap in value and using the if statement and conditions i tried adding or deleting using Array methods. However, since the inter data is an object i am sruggling to find the right methods or even the process. I also tried using a function to insert the data and pushing to a new empty array that is returned from the function.
If I have objects in an array like so:
const data = [
{
"date": "12/22",
"treatment": "nausea",
"count": 2
},
{
"date": "12/23",
"treatment": "cold",
"count": 3
},
{
"date": "12/22",
"treatment": "cold",
"count": 2
}
];
and wanting to change the data like so:
const newData = [
{
"date": "12/22",
"cold": 2
"nausea": 2,
},
{
"date": "12/23",
"cold": 3
}
];

try this code using loop and reduce and every time add to new array
const data = [
{
"date": "12/22",
"treatment": "nausea",
"count": 2
},
{
"date": "12/23",
"treatment": "cold",
"count": 3
},
{
"date": "12/22",
"treatment": "cold",
"count": 2
}
];
const newData = [];
const dataByDate = data.reduce((acc, curr) => {
if (!acc[curr.date]) {
acc[curr.date] = { date: curr.date };
}
acc[curr.date][curr.treatment] = curr.count;
return acc;
}, {});
for (let date in dataByDate) {
newData.push(dataByDate[date]);
}
console.log(newData);

We want to reduce the data by unique dates. This can be done with:
An object as a dictionary,
Set or Map, or
Some other custom implementation.
Prefer to use Array.reduce() when reducing an array. This is standardized and more expressive than a custom implementation.
Using a map-like structure as the accumulator allows reduction of the dates by uniqueness and the data itself, simultaneously.
Note: Properties of objects are converted to Strings (except for Symbols). So if you want to use different "keys" that are equal after conversion (e.g. 0 and "0"), you cannot use objects; use Map instead.
(All our dates are Strings already, so this warning does not apply here.)
When using an object we can use the nullish coalescing assignment ??=: This allows us to assign an initial "empty" entry ({ date: dataEntry.date }) when encountering a new unique date.
Further, that assignment evaluates to the dictionary's entry; the entry that was either already present or just assigned.
Then we only need to assign the treatment and its count as a key-value pair to the entry.
const data = [
{ "date": "12/22", "treatment": "nausea", "count": 2 },
{ "date": "12/23", "treatment": "cold", "count": 3 },
{ "date": "12/22", "treatment": "cold", "count": 2 }
];
const newData = reduceByDate(data);
console.log(newData);
function reduceByDate(data) {
const dataByDate = data.reduce((dict, dataEntry) => {
const dictEntry = dict[dataEntry.date] // Get existing or ...
??= { date: dataEntry.date }; // ... just initialized entry.
dictEntry[dataEntry.treatment] = dataEntry.count;
return dict;
}, {});
// Transform dictionary to array of reduced entries
return Object.values(dataByDate);
}

You can make use of reduce() and Object.assign().
First we use reduce to combine objects with the same date into one object and then use assign to merge the values:
const data = [{
"date": "12/22",
"treatment": "nausea",
"count": 2
},
{
"date": "12/23",
"treatment": "cold",
"count": 3
},
{
"date": "12/22",
"treatment": "cold",
"count": 2
}
];
const newData = data.reduce((acc, curr) => {
const dateIndex = acc.findIndex(item => item.date === curr.date);
if (dateIndex === -1) {
acc.push({
date: curr.date,
[curr.treatment]: curr.count
});
} else {
acc[dateIndex] = Object.assign({}, acc[dateIndex], {
[curr.treatment]: curr.count
});
}
return acc;
}, []);
console.log(newData)

Finding nested object data using basic JavaScript

I want to loop through 600+ array items in an object and find one particular item based on certain criteria. The array in the object is called "operations" and its items are arrays themselves.
My goal is to get the index of operation's array item which has the deeply nested string "Go".
In the sample below this would be the first element. My problem is that I can check if an array element contains "call" and "draw" but I don't know how to test for the nested dictionary "foobar". I only have basic JavaScript available, no special libraries.
let json = {
"head": {},
"operations": [
[
"call",
"w40",
"draw",
{
"parent": "w39",
"style": [
"PUSH"
],
"index": 0,
"text": "Modify"
}
],
[
"call",
"w83.gc",
"draw",
{
"foobar": [
["beginPath"],
[
"rect",
0,
0,
245,
80
],
["fill"],
[
"fillText",
"Go",
123,
24
],
[
"drawImage",
"rwt-resources/c8af.png",
]
]
}
],
[
"create",
"w39",
"rwt.widgets.Menu",
{
"parent": "w35",
"style": [
"POP_UP"
]
}
],
[
"call",
"w39",
"draw",
{
"parent": "w35",
"style": [
"POP_UP"
]
}
]
]
};
let index = "";
let operationList = json.operations;
for (i = 0; i < operationList.length; i++) {
if (operationList[i].includes('call') && operationList[i].includes('draw')) //missing another check if the dictionary "foobar" exists in this element )
{
index = i;
}
}
document.write(index)

I'll preface by saying that this data structure is going to be tough to manage in general. I would suggest a scheme for where an operation is an object with well defined properties, rather than just an "array of stuff".
That said, you can use recursion to search the array.
If any value in the array is another array, continue with the next level of recursion
If any value is an object, search its values
const isPlainObject = require('is-plain-object');
const containsTerm = (value, term) => {
// if value is an object, search its values
if (isPlainObject(value)) {
value = Object.values(value);
}
// if value is an array, search within it
if (Array.isArray(value)) {
return value.find((element) => {
return containsTerm(element, term);
});
}
// otherwise, value is a primitive, so check if it matches
return value === term;
};
const index = object.operations.findIndex((operation) => {
return containsTerm(operation, 'Go');
});

How to create a new json out of three jsons?

I have 3 different jsons, I need to extrapolate some data from each and create a new json with it. The three jsons have an id identifier in common, a unique identifier, so We could use that as a match since they are actually three different big jsons.
On json one we have "id":"265", on two and three "article_id":"265", so these can be the reference point when we loop.
I never worked with json this way so I wouldn't know how to approach it. I have put jQuery and JS as tags as they're what I know best.
1
{
"id":"265",
"title":"Battle of Gettysburg",
"page_id":"4849",
"language_id":"en",
"original_time":"July 1\u20133, 1863"
}
2
{
"id":"185",
"original_name":"United States",
"country_id":"24",
"article_id":"265"
}
3
{
"id":"73",
"month":"July",
"year":"1863",
"suffix":"",
"article_id":"265"
}
So the end result I am looking for is a single json exactly like this, we take id and title as objects from json 1, then we grab original_name from json two and year object from json three and we'll have:
{
"id":"265",
"title":"Battle of Gettysburg",
"original_name":"United States",
"year":"1863"
}
NOTE
The json above are just examples, in reality they are three huge lists, what I could do (manually), is to join them in order to have a single json.

There is some terminology confusion here; based on your comments you could be asking one of two very different questions. Fortunately one of them is very simple to answer so let's do both.
(I am handwaving past the details of loading json strings into the browser and converting them into javascript objects.)
If you have three objects
...then this is just a matter of plucking out the fields you need individually when constructing an output object:
var in1 = {
"id": "265",
"title": "Battle of Gettysburg",
"page_id": "4849",
"language_id": "en",
"original_time": "July 1\u20133, 1863"
};
var in2 = {
"id": "185",
"original_name": "United States",
"country_id": "24",
"article_id": "265"
}
var in3 = {
"id": "73",
"month": "July",
"year": "1863",
"suffix": "",
"article_id": "265"
}
// construct a new object using the selected fields
// from each object in1, in2, or in3:
var out = {
id: in1.id,
title: in1.title,
original_name: in2.original_name,
year: in3.year
}
console.log(out);
If you have three lists of objects:
...in this case it's a lot more complicated (and a lot more interesting). In this case you would need to match fields from the objects in each list which share the same IDs.
The following is definitely not the most efficient or memory-conserving way to do this; I've spread things out to (hopefully) make it easier to follow what it's doing.
I'm making two assumptions:
within each list, all IDs are unique (meaning you won't have two objects with the same ID in one JSON file)
Every ID will appear in all three lists (meaning you don't need to handle missing fields in output)
/* Again handwaving past loading JSON strings and parsing
them into javascript objects, we'll just start with
three arrays: */
var input1 = [{
"id": "265",
"title": "Battle of Gettysburg",
"page_id": "4849",
"language_id": "en",
"original_time": "July 1\u20133, 1863"
},
{
"id": "1",
"title": "Foo",
"page_id": "123",
"language_id": "en",
"original_time": "July 1\u20133, 1863"
}
];
var input2 = [{
"id": "1",
"original_name": "Bar",
"country_id": "24",
"article_id": "265"
},
{
"id": "265",
"original_name": "United States",
"country_id": "24",
"article_id": "265"
}
]
var input3 = [{
"id": "1",
"month": "July",
"year": "Baz",
"suffix": "",
"article_id": "265"
},
{
"id": "265",
"month": "July",
"year": "1863",
"suffix": "",
"article_id": "265"
}
]
/* It would be much easier to find corresponding IDs
across these arrays if they weren't arrays. We'll
start by converting them into objects keyed by the
item ids: */
var convertArray = function(arr) {
var output = {};
arr.forEach(function(o) {
output[o.id] = o;
});
return output;
}
var obj1 = convertArray(input1);
var obj2 = convertArray(input2);
var obj3 = convertArray(input3);
/* Now if we need to find (say) the object with id "foo", we don't
need to search the whole array, but can just use `obj1["foo"]` or
`obj1.foo`.
The last step is to iterate over the list of IDs and repeatedly
do basically the same thing as in the "if you have three objects"
part above. The only difference is that we need to access the
object with the same ID in each of the input lists: */
var constructOutput = function(in1, in2, in3) {
var output = []; // we'll be outputting a list of objects again.
// step through every ID (assuming in1 contains all of them):
Object.keys(in1).forEach(function(id) {
var obj = {
id: id,
title: in1[id].title,
original_name: in2[id].original_name,
year: in3[id].year
}
output.push(obj);
});
return output;
}
var final = constructOutput(obj1, obj2, obj3)
console.log(final)

Essentially what you have to do is mimic a SQL JOIN using JavaScript objects:
Use JSON.parse() on all three JSON collections to turn them into arrays of objects.
Iterate through JSON 1 objects; for each object...
Iterate through JSON 2 objects, testing if article ID matches the ID from JSON 1 that we are iterating over. Save this object.
Iterate through JSON 3 objects, testing if ID matches the ID of the object we found from JSON 2. Save this object.
After you have all three objects, make a new object literal that contains only the fields you want:
{
Id: obj1.id,
Title: obj1.title,
Original_name: obj2.original_name,
Year: obj3.year
}

Should you want to combine n number of JSON objects, e.g. a list of objects you can take a functional approach and utilise reduce + filter.
const data = [{
"id":"265",
"title":"Battle of Gettysburg",
"page_id":"4849",
"language_id":"en",
"original_time":"July 1\u20133, 1863"
},
{
"id":"185",
"original_name":"United States",
"country_id":"24",
"article_id":"265"
},
{
"id":"73",
"month":"July",
"year":"1863",
"suffix":"",
"article_id":"265"
}];
const final = data.reduce((accu, { id, title }, index, array) => {
// Find any related objects
const matches = array.filter(data => data.article_id === id);
if (matches.length) {
// Flatten them for ease of access. Duplicate keys will override.
const flat = matches.reduce((arr, item) => ({ ...arr, ...item }), [])
// Return new object
return accu.concat({
...flat,
id,
title,
});
}
return accu;
}, []);
console.log(final, '<<')
// Witness
document.getElementById('results').innerHTML = JSON.stringify(final);
<div id="results" style="font-family: Courier; font-size 14px; color: #fff; background: #000; padding: 20px; max-width: 80vw;"></div>

Edited*
Maybe this is what you need?
let arrPages = [{
"id":"265",
"title":"Battle of Gettysburg",
"page_id":"4849",
"language_id":"en",
"original_time":"July 1\u20133, 1863"
}];
let arrArticles = [{
"id":"185",
"original_name":"United States",
"country_id":"24",
"article_id":"265"
},
{
"id":"73",
"month":"July",
"year":"1863",
"suffix":"",
"article_id":"265"
}];
let getResult = (arrInput, arrCompare) => {
let joinedItems = [];
arrInput.forEach(item => {
let newItem = { id: item.id, title: item.title };
arrCompare.forEach(subItem => {
if(subItem.article_id !== undefined && subItem.article_id === item.id){
if(subItem.original_name !== undefined)
newItem.original_name = subItem.original_name;
if(subItem.year !== undefined)
newItem.year = subItem.year;
}
});
joinedItems.push(newItem);
});
return joinedItems;
};
let result = getResult(arrPages, arrArticles);
console.log(result);

In the first part of the code i create a var that has the json data.
To solve the problema i create 2 functions, the order of the creation dosen't metter, the first function getJSONData() take the json data as parameter and return a object filtered by the keys defined in the array keys. The secound function just check if the current key is present in the array of keys, this function could be replaced by the jQuery.inArray() method.
// JSON data
var json = [{
"id":"265",
"title":"Battle of Gettysburg",
"page_id":"4849",
"language_id":"en",
"original_time":"July 1\u20133, 1863"
},
{
"id":"185",
"original_name":"United States",
"country_id":"24",
"article_id":"265"
},
{
"id":"73",
"month":"July",
"year":"1863",
"suffix":"",
"article_id":"265"
}]
// keys that i want
var keys = ["title", "original_name", "year"];
// var that will have the filtered data
var newJSON = getJSONData(json);
console.log(JSON.stringify(newJSON))
// this is the main function of the code
// here we iterate in the json creating a new object that has all the tags definid in the keys array
function getJSONData(arrayJSON){
var JSONFiltered = {};
for(var i in arrayJSON){
for(var key in arrayJSON[i]){
if(hasElement(key)){
JSONFiltered[key] = arrayJSON[i][key];
}
}
}
return JSONFiltered;
}
// this function is used to check a key is present in the array of keys
function hasElement(key){
for(var elem in keys){
if(keys[elem] == key) return true;
}
return false;
}

How to delete nested json key dynamically?

This is the sample json:
{
"search": {
"facets": {
"author": [
],
"language": [
{
"value": "nep",
"count": 3
},
{
"value": "urd",
"count": 1
}
],
"source": [
{
"value": "West Bengal State Council of Vocational Education & Training",
"count": 175
}
],
"type": [
{
"value": "text",
"count": 175
}
],
}
}
There are several ways to delete key search.facets.source:
delete search.facets.source
delete jsobObj['search']['facets']['source']
var jsonKey = 'source';
JSON.parse(angular.toJson(jsonObj), function (key, value) {
if (key != jsonKey)
return value;
});
Above 1 & 2 are not dynamic, and 3 is one of the way but not a proper way. Because if source is present in another node then it will not work. Please anybody can tell me how to delete it dynamically in any kind of nested key. Because we can not generate sequence of array dynamically in above 2.

Assuming you're starting from this:
let path = 'search.facets.source';
Then the logic is simple: find the search.facets object, then delete obj['source'] on it.
Step one, divide the path into the initial path and trailing property name:
let keys = path.split('.');
let prop = keys.pop();
Find the facets object in your object:
let parent = keys.reduce((obj, key) => obj[key], jsonObj);
Delete the property:
delete parent[prop];

I have found out another solution, it is very easy.
var jsonKey = 'search.facets.source';
eval('delete jsonObj.' + jsonKey + ';');

Merge Arrays Combining Matching Objects in Angular Javascript

I have 2 array objects in Angular JS that I wish to merge (overlap/combine) the matching ones.
For example, the Array 1 is like this:
[
{"id":1,"name":"Adam"},
{"id":2,"name":"Smith"},
{"id":3,"name":"Eve"},
{"id":4,"name":"Gary"},
]
Array 2 is like this:
[
{"id":1,"name":"Adam", "checked":true},
{"id":3,"name":"Eve", "checked":true},
]
I want the resulting array after merging to become this:
[
{"id":1,"name":"Adam", "checked":true},
{"id":2,"name":"Smith"},
{"id":3,"name":"Eve", "checked":true},
{"id":4,"name":"Gary"},
]
Is that possible? I have tried angular's array_merge and array_extend like this:
angular.merge([], $scope.array1, $scope.array2);
angular.extend([], $scope.array1, $scope.array2);
But the above method overlap the first 2 objects in array and doesn't merge them based on matching data. Is having a foreach loop the only solution for this?
Can someone guide me here please?

Not sure if this find of merge is supported by AngularJS. I've made a snippet which does exactly the same:
function merge(array1, array2) {
var ids = [];
var merge_obj = [];
array1.map(function(ele) {
if (!(ids.indexOf(ele.id) > -1)) {
ids.push(ele.id);
merge_obj.push(ele);
}
});
array2.map(function(ele) {
var index = ids.indexOf(ele.id);
if (!( index > -1)) {
ids.push(ele.id);
merge_obj.push(ele);
}else{
merge_obj[index] = ele;
}
});
console.log(merge_obj);
}
var array1 = [{
"id": 1,
"name": "Adam"
}, {
"id": 2,
"name": "Smith"
}, {
"id": 3,
"name": "Eve"
}, {
"id": 4,
"name": "Gary"
}, ]
var array2 = [{
"id": 1,
"name": "Adam",
"checked": true
}, {
"id": 3,
"name": "Eve",
"checked": true
}, ];
merge(array1, array2);

Genuinely, extend in Angular works with object instead of array. But we can do small trick in your case. Here is another solution.
// a1, a2 is your arrays
// This is to convert array to object with key is id and value is the array item itself
var a1_ = a1.reduce(function(obj, value) {
obj[value.id] = value;
return obj;
}, {});
var a2_ = a2.reduce(function(obj, value) {
obj[value.id] = value;
return obj;
}, {});
// Then use extend with those two converted objects
var result = angular.extend([], a1_, a2_).splice(1)
Notes:
For compatibility, reduce may not work.
The after array will replace the previous one. This is because of implementation of extend in Angular.
