I have an object:
myObj = {
attendent-0-id:"123",
attendent-0-name:"Bob Smith",
attendent-1-id:"1234",
attendent-1-name:"Alex Smith",
attendent-2-id:"123",
attendent-2-name:"Charlie Smith",
attendent-maxGuest:1,
attendent-party-name:"",
}
I need to create a loop that go through myObj and find all the id's and then compares them for duplicates. So in this case it would log an error because attendent-0-id is equal to attendent-2-id.
If I do find duplicates I need to set a flag to true;
I have tried a bunch of things and am just stuck at this point. Thanks for any help.
In your case you can go through myObj using Object.keys() via:
for (const key of Object.keys(obj))
use a plain object as a map to store the previous values of the ids:
const map = {};
use a regex pattern to make sure only the specific ids are evaluated:
const pattern = /^attendent-\d+-id$/;
and then with the help of the map, log the error on duplicate ids:
if (value in map) {
console.error(`${map[value]} is equal to ${key}, which is ${value}`);
}
Example:
const myObj = {
'attendent-0-id': "123",
'attendent-0-name': "Bob Smith",
'attendent-1-id': "1234",
'attendent-1-name': "Alex Smith",
'attendent-2-id': "123",
'attendent-2-name': "Charlie Smith",
'attendent-maxGuest': 1,
'attendent-party-name': "",
};
function errorOnDuplicateIds(obj) {
const map = {};
const pattern = /^attendent-\d+-id$/;
for (const key of Object.keys(obj)) {
if (pattern.test(key)) {
const value = obj[key]
if (value in map) {
console.error(`${map[value]} is equal to ${key}, which is ${value}`);
} else {
map[value] = key
}
}
}
}
errorOnDuplicateIds(myObj);
const ids = []; // keep track of found ids
Object.keys(myObj).forEach(key => { // iterate over all properties of myObj
// check if property name is in format "attendent-" *some number* "-id"
if (/^attendent-\d+-id$/.test(key)) {
// check if the id has already been found
if (ids.findIndex(id => id === myObj[key]) !== -1) {
console.log('error');
} else {
ids.push(myObj[key]);
}
}
});
You can use Object.entries and a Map (keyed by value) for this:
var myObj = {"attendent-0-id":"123","attendent-0-name":"Bob Smith","attendent-1-id":"1234","attendent-1-name":"Alex Smith","attendent-2-id":"123","attendent-2-name":"Charlie Smith","attendent-maxGuest":1, "attendent-party-name":""};
var dupes = [...Object.entries(myObj).reduce(
(map, [key,val]) => map.set(val, (map.get(val) || []).concat(key)),
new Map
).values()].filter(keys => keys.length > 1);
console.log(dupes);
This solution does not give any particular meaning to the format of the keys.
Having said that, your object structure looks suspicious of bad design: you should not have enumerations in your object keys. For that you should use arrays.
Object.values(myObj) will create an array of all values and then you can use any way to find duplicate elements in that array.
var myValues = Object.values(myObj); //This will create an array of all values
var uniq = myValues.map((val) => {
return {count: 1, val: val}
}).reduce((a, b) => {
a[b.val] = (a[b.val] || 0) + b.count
return a
}, {});
var duplicates = Object.keys(uniq).filter((a) => uniq[a] > 1)
if (duplicates.length) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
My first advice would be to redefine your object to something more flexible.
let myObject = {
attendants : [
{
id: "123",
name: "Bob Smith"
},
{
id: "456",
name: "Alex Smith"
},
{
id: "768",
name: "Charlie Smith"
},
],
maxGuest: 1,
partyName: ""
};
This will allow you to iterate the attendants.
for (var attendant in myObject.attendants){
doSomething(attendant.id, attendant.name);
}
You can also sort the attendant:
// Sort by id
myObject.attendants.sort(function(left, right){
return left.value - right.value;
});
// Sort by name
myObject.attendants.sort(function (left, right){
var leftName = left.name.toLowerCase();
var rightName = right.name.toLowerCase();
if (leftName < rightName) return -1;
if (leftName > rightName) return 1;
return 0;
});
Now, lets assume you don't have a choice. Then it gets complicated.
You need to create (or modify an existent) a sort algorithm so it can use keys that are generated as:
myObject[`attendent-${index}-id`]
myObject[`attendent-${index}-name`]
and keep the pair
I have an object array containing one property call name like this
var nameArr = [
{
"name":"john"
},
{
"name":"carl"
},
{
"name":"peter"
}
]
I have a another array called ageArr and it only contain property called age
var ageArr = [
{
"age":"22"
},
{
"age":"21"
},
{
"age":"32"
}
]
i want to concat these array and end result should result like this
var result = [
{
"age":"22",
"name":"john"
},
{
"age":"21",
"name":"carl"
},
{
"age":"32",
"name":"peter"
}
]
note that length of the both arrays always equal and dynamic. Is there any way i can do this without looping these array inside one another. Thank you.
You can use Object.assign() and map() and return new array.
var nameArr = [{"name":"john"},{"name":"carl"},{"name":"peter"}]
var ageArr = [{"age":"22"},{"age":"21"},{"age":"32"}]
var result = nameArr.map(function(e, i) {
return Object.assign({}, e, ageArr[i])
})
console.log(result)
Single forEach() function is enough.
var nameArr=[{name:"john"},{name:"carl"},{name:"peter"}],
ageArr=[{age:"22"},{age:"21"},{age:"32"}];
nameArr.forEach((v,i) => v.age = ageArr[i].age)
console.log(nameArr);
You can use the following code snippet.
var result = nameArr.map(function( obj, index ) {
var res = ageArr[index];
res.name = obj.name;
return res;
});
In the map, you can easily use
jQuery.extend()
to create a merge of two same index object.
I have an object:
var obj =
[
{
"value": "aep",
"label": "AEP"
},
{
"value": "cap",
"label": "CAP"
},
{
"value": "casl",
"label": "CASL"
} ]
And I want to convert the values of the labels ONLY into an array so that the end result is:
["AEP", "CAP", "CASL"]
How do I only get the label values converted in an array?
First: obj is not an object, it is an array since the parent brackets are [] and not {}. I will, however, keep the name the same. This might have caused you some confusion, e.g.
var object = {};
var array = [];
var arrayOfObjects = [{},{},{}];
var objectOfArrays = {array1: [],array2: [],array3: []};
To loop an array you can use a for loop:
// new array
var newArray = [];
// iterates over each index in the array
for(var i=0; i<obj.length; i++) {
// Access the specific index, then access its `label` property
// Push into `newArray`
newArray.push(obj[i].label);
}
console.log(newArray);
Codepen: http://codepen.io/theblindprophet/pen/RRxVba
Using a for loop
var out = [];
for (var i = 0, len = obj.length; i < len; i++) {
out.push(obj[i].label);
}
console.log(out);
Its simple. You can use map function of javascript array
var obj =
[
{
"value": "aep",
"label": "AEP"
},
{
"value": "cap",
"label": "CAP"
},
{
"value": "casl",
"label": "CASL"
} ]
var arr = obj.map(function(data){return data.value});
This is a functional solution and not the most straightforward one, you may want to refer to #theblindprophet's answer for the imperative approach to this problem.
Pretty easy task to be done in a functional way:
var labels = obj.map(function(inner) { return inner.label });
How does one approach such a problem: You need to think of how to transform the data you have to the data you want. In this case you have an Array of Objects and you want to transform this Array of Objects to an Array of Strings placed inside that Object.
The above code iterates over the Array and returns the value you want for the current element of the Array, building a new Array in the course (map)
I have an object like this coming back as a JSON response from the server:
{
"0": "1",
"1": "2",
"2": "3",
"3": "4"
}
I want to convert it into a JavaScript array like this:
["1","2","3","4"]
Is there a best way to do this? Wherever I am reading, people are using complex logic using loops. So are there alternative methods to doing this?
It's actually very straight forward with jQuery's $.map
var arr = $.map(obj, function(el) { return el });
FIDDLE
and almost as easy without jQuery as well, converting the keys to an array and then mapping back the values with Array.map
var arr = Object.keys(obj).map(function(k) { return obj[k] });
FIDDLE
That's assuming it's already parsed as a javascript object, and isn't actually JSON, which is a string format, in that case a run through JSON.parse would be necessary as well.
In ES2015 there's Object.values to the rescue, which makes this a breeze
var arr = Object.values(obj);
var json = '{"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3","3":"4"}';
var parsed = JSON.parse(json);
var arr = [];
for (var x in parsed) {
arr.push(parsed[x]);
}
console.log(arr)
Hope this is what you're after!
You simply do it like
var data = {
"0": "1",
"1": "2",
"2": "3",
"3": "4"
};
var arr = [];
for (var prop in data) {
arr.push(data[prop]);
}
console.log(arr);

There is nothing like a "JSON object" - JSON is a serialization notation.
If you want to transform your javascript object to a javascript array, either you write your own loop [which would not be that complex!], or you rely on underscore.js _.toArray() method:
var obj = {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3","3":"4"};
var yourArray = _(obj).toArray();
Nothing hard here. Loop over your object elements and assign them to the array
var obj = {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3","3":"4"};
var arr = [];
for (elem in obj) {
arr.push(obj[elem]);
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Qq2aM/
var JsonObj = {
"0": "1",
"1": "2",
"2": "3",
"3": "4"
};
var array = [];
for (var i in JsonObj) {
if (JsonObj.hasOwnProperty(i) && !isNaN(+i)) {
array[+i] = JsonObj[i];
}
}
console.log(array)
DEMO
Try this:
var newArr = [];
$.each(JSONObject.results.bindings, function(i, obj) {
newArr.push([obj.value]);
});
You can use Object.assign() with an empty array literal [] as the target:
const input = {
"0": "1",
"1": "2",
"2": "3",
"3": "4"
}
const output = Object.assign([], input)
console.log(output)
If you check the polyfill, Object.assign(target, ...sources) just copies all the enumerable own properties from the source objects to a target object. If the target is an array, it will add the numerical keys to the array literal and return that target array object.
var obj = {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3","3":"4"};
var vals = Object.values(obj);
console.log(vals); //["1", "2", "3", "4"]
Another alternative to the question
var vals = Object.values(JSON.parse(obj)); //where json needs to be parsed
Using raw javascript, suppose you have:
var j = {0: "1", 1: "2", 2: "3", 3: "4"};
You could get the values with:
Object.keys(j).map(function(_) { return j[_]; })
Output:
["1", "2", "3", "4"]
Not sure what I am missing here but simply trying the below code does the work. Am I missing anything here?
https://jsfiddle.net/vatsalpande/w3ew5bhq/
$(document).ready(function(){
var json = {
"code" :"1",
"data" : {
"0" : {"id":"1","score":"44"},
"1" : {"id":"1","score":"44"}
}
};
createUpdatedJson();
function createUpdatedJson(){
var updatedJson = json;
updatedJson.data = [updatedJson.data];
$('#jsondata').html(JSON.stringify(updatedJson));
console.log(JSON.stringify(updatedJson));
}
})
Assuming your have a value like the following
var obj = {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3","3":"4"};
Then you can turn this into a javascript array using the following
var arr = [];
json = JSON.stringify(eval('(' + obj + ')')); //convert to json string
arr = $.parseJSON(json); //convert to javascript array
This works for converting json into multi-diminsional javascript arrays as well.
None of the other methods on this page seemed to work completely for me when working with php json-encoded strings except the method I am mentioning herein.
Here is an example of how you could get an array of objects and then sort the array.
function osort(obj)
{ // map the object to an array [key, obj[key]]
return Object.keys(obj).map(function(key) { return [key, obj[key]] }).sort(
function (keya, keyb)
{ // sort(from largest to smallest)
return keyb[1] - keya[1];
}
);
}
This is best solution. I think so.
Object.keys(obj).map(function(k){return {key: k, value: obj[k]}})
The accepted solution expects the keys start from 0 and are continuous - it gets the values into the array, but looses the indexes on the way.
Use this if your "object with numerical keys" does not fulfill those stricter assumptions.
//let sourceObject = ...
let destinationArray = [];
Object.keys(sourceObject).forEach(k => destinationArray[k] = sourceObject[k]);
var data = [];
data = {{ jdata|safe }}; //parse through js
var i = 0 ;
for (i=0;i<data.length;i++){
data[i] = data[i].value;
}
You can convert json Object into Array & String using PHP.
$data='{"resultList":[{"id":"1839","displayName":"Analytics","subLine":""},{"id":"1015","displayName":"Automation","subLine":""},{"id":"1084","displayName":"Aviation","subLine":""},{"id":"554","displayName":"Apparel","subLine":""},{"id":"875","displayName":"Aerospace","subLine":""},{"id":"1990","displayName":"Account Reconciliation","subLine":""},{"id":"3657","displayName":"Android","subLine":""},{"id":"1262","displayName":"Apache","subLine":""},{"id":"1440","displayName":"Acting","subLine":""},{"id":"710","displayName":"Aircraft","subLine":""},{"id":"12187","displayName":"AAC","subLine":""}, {"id":"20365","displayName":"AAT","subLine":""}, {"id":"7849","displayName":"AAP","subLine":""}, {"id":"20511","displayName":"AACR2","subLine":""}, {"id":"28585","displayName":"AASHTO","subLine":""}, {"id":"45191","displayName":"AAMS","subLine":""}]}';
$b=json_decode($data);
$i=0;
while($b->{'resultList'}[$i])
{
print_r($b->{'resultList'}[$i]->{'displayName'});
echo "<br />";
$i++;
}
With an array of objects in a form like this:
[
{
1429={
{
8766={...},
8483={...},
7345={...}
}
}
},
{
9041={...}
}
]
how could i get back an array like this?:
[1429, 9041]
If the array of objects would be in another structure this code would work:
var obj = {
"5": "some",
"8": "thing"
};
var keys = $.map(obj, function (value, key) {
return key;
});
console.log(keys);
That would return [5, 8]. But in my example it just would return the indexes [0,1]
Even if I wouldn't know the depth of the object - is it possible to get the values on that level? I dont need the indexes, I need those values. I couldn't find anything about it so far. Any tips for me maybe?
P.S.: I know that i could work out something with these keys and a loop, but I'm just asking for a simplier way to do it.
Regards
you are looking for the keys in a json object, you can get them this way:
Object.keys(obj);
for the object example:
var obj = {
"5": "some",
"8": "thing"
};
you will get:
["5","8"]
for an array of object of this type:
var arrayObject = [{},{},{}];
you can use a map and get the keys:
var keys = arrayObject.map(function(k){
return Object.keys(k);
});
keys is an array of arrays of keys. Example, for the following object (similar to your data structure):
var l= [
{
1429:{
8766: "test",
8483:"test",
7345: "test"
}
},
{
9041: "test"
}
];
you will get:
[["1429"],["9041"]]
apply concat and you will get what you are looking for. Here how to apply concat in the case of multiple arrays.
var arrayOfKeys = [].concat.apply([], keys);
now you will get:
["1429","9041"];
In your specific case you could use
var keys = [];
root.forEach(function(v) { keys = keys.concat(Object.keys(v)); });
If instead you have a tree of arrays and you want the keys of all other objects instead (but not recursing into objects) then a simple recursive function would do it:
function topKeys(x) {
if (x && x.constructor === Array) {
var result = [];
x.forEach(function(item) {
result = result.concat(topKeys(item));
});
return result;
} else if (typeof x === "object") {
return Object.keys(x);
} else {
return [];
}
}
