I want to duplicate specific objects inside an array.
I have the array1 and I want to get the array2.
Example:
const array1 = [
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [3]},
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [12, 13]},
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [ 4, 5, 6]}
]
array2 = [
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [3]},
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [12]},
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [13]},
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [4]},
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [5]},
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [6]},
]
Array#reduce may come handy
const array1 = [
{ a: 'String', b: 'Number', c: [3]},
{ a: 'String', b: 'Number', c: [12, 13]},
{ a: 'String', b: 'Number', c: [ 4, 5, 6]}
];
const r = array1.reduce((s, a) =>
(s.push(a.c.length > 1 ? a.c.map((t) => ({ ...a, c: [t] })) : a), s), []);
document.write('<pre>' + JSON.stringify(r, null, 2) + '</pre>');
const array1 = [
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [3] },
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [12, 13] },
{ a: String, b: Number, c: [4, 5, 6] }
];
var array2 = [];
array1.map(obj => {
var obj2 = {};
for (var key in obj) {
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
if (!Array.isArray(obj[key])) {
obj2[key] = obj[key];
} else {
obj[key].map(item => {
obj2[key] = item;
array2.push({ ...obj2 });
});
} // end if-else
} // end hasOwnProperty
} // end for
});
console.log(array2);
I have two JSON data with multi-stage nesting. I want compare it by following conditions:
1) if name in the first object equal to name in the second object compare them prop arrays, else if nothing equal names in two object return empty array;
2) compare objects into two prop arrays and find difference;
3) return new object with difference from first and second arrays.
const p1 = [{
name: 'B [1]', // name equals and prop differnce, then comparing it
prop: [{
A: { A: 1, B: 2 },
B: { A: 1, B: 2 },
C: { C: 78, D: 4, T: 7, } }],
}, {
name: 'B [2]', // name equals, then skiping it
prop: [{
A: { A: 1, B: 2 },
B: { A: 1, B: 2 },
D: { C: 3, D: 4, Y: 13 } }],
}, {
name: 'B [3]', // name equals and prop differnce, then comparing it
prop: [{
E: { A: 1, B: 2 },
R: { A: 1, B: 2 },
T: { C: 3, D: 4, } }],
}, {
name: 'B [4]', // name and prop equals, then skiping it
prop: [{
A: { A: 1, B: 2 },
S: { A: 1, B: 2 },
D: { C: 3, D: 4, } }],
}]
const p2 = [{
name: 'B [1]', // name equals and prop differnce, then comparing it
prop: [{
A: { A: 1, B: 8 },
B: { A: 1, B: 2 },
C: { C: 3, T: 7, O: 9 } }],
}, {
name: 'B [6]', // name not equals, then skiping it
prop: [{
A: { A: 1, B: 2 },
B: { A: 1, B: 2 },
D: { C: 3, D: 4 } }],
}, {
name: 'B [3]', // name equals and prop differnce, then comparing it
prop: [{
E: { A: 1, B: 2 },
R: { A: 1, B: 2, U: 150 },
T: { C: 3, D: 4, } }],
}, {
name: 'B [4]', // name and prop equals, then skiping it
prop: [{
A: { A: 1, B: 2 },
S: { A: 1, B: 2 },
D: { C: 3, D: 4, } }],
}]
The result should look like this:
const result = [{
name: 'B [1]',
propOne: [{
A: { B: 2 },
C: { C: 78, D: 4, O: 'Missing' }
}],
propTwo: [{
A: { B: 8 },
C: { C: 3, D: 'Missing', O: 9 }
}],
},{
name: 'B [3]',
propOne: [{
R: { U: 'Missing' }
}],
propTwo: [{
R: { U: 150 }
}]
}]
I also bitterly attach my worthless code here, which does nothing.
const compare = (p1, p2) => {
return p1.reduce((acc, curr) => {
p2.reduce((acc2, curr2) => {
if (curr.name === curr2.name) {
const keys1 = R.fromPairs(Object.keys(curr.prop[0]).map(x => ([x, curr.prop[0][x]])));
const keys2 = R.fromPairs(Object.keys(curr2.prop[0]).map(x => ([x, curr2.prop[0][x]])));
}
return acc;
}, [])
return acc;
}, [])
}
I would be extremely grateful for any help and advice.
All the difficulty resides in specing the expected behaviour of the comparison function:
for two objects (that I refer as values) a and b: {A:1,B:2} and {A:1,B:3,C:4}
the output of cmp(a,b) shall be:
foreach key of a:
if a[key] != b[key] (or b does not have k prop)
diff[key] = a[key]
else (value is equal, no diff)
foreach key of b not in a
diff[key] = Missing
hence (e.g) {B:2, C:'Missing'}
when comparing the values, if diff is empty, you can skip the current prop and when comparing props if the diff is empty skip the record (as if names were different)
function cmp(x,y){
let a = x.prop[0];
let b = y.prop[0];
return Object.keys(a).reduce((o,k)=>{
//compare the right value (such as { A: 1, B: 2 }). assumes primitive types
let u = a[k];
let v = b[k];
let diff = Object.keys(u).reduce((o,k)=>{
return u[k]==v[k]?o:(o[k] = u[k],o)
},{})
Object.keys(v).reduce((o,k)=>{
return u.hasOwnProperty(k)?o:(o[k]='Missing',o);
}, diff);
if(Object.keys(diff).length){
o[k] = diff;
}
return o;
},{});
}
function diff(p1,p2){
return p1.flatMap((o,i)=>{
if(p2[i].name != p1[i].name){
return []
}
let a = p1[i];
let b = p2[i];
let res = cmp(a,b);
if(!Object.keys(res).length){
return [];
}
return {name: a.name, propOne:res, propTwo:cmp(b,a)}
})
};

It's kinda late, and i don't have time anymore for extensive tests right now, so this may have some bugs for unexpected cases (i hope not though). It's way too long for a comment, and discarding it would be a bit of a waste.
The below code contains two ways: one constructive, starting with empty objects, building up, and one the other way around, starting with the full objects, and then deleting.
Note, that in your data structures, there are several "one element arrays". If these can contain more than one element (they don't really make much sense to me, it's already objects within arrays within arrays, giving plenty of room for additional props), there needs to be one or two extra map steps, no big issue though.
