map on the lower level key of a nested object

I had posted this question earlier but someone deleted with How can I access and process nested objects, arrays or JSON?
as possible answer. This is not helping me since a) The key 'date' is spread across several names, b)The objects comprises on arrays & objects & c) The depth at which the key 'date' is present can change.
Hence posting the question again.
I have a JS object as below
const bb = {
Harry: {
details: [
{
cat: "Life",
values: [
{
date: "2021-08-02",
level: 77.6,
},
{
date: "2021-08-03",
level: 79.1,
},
],
},
],
},
Barry: {
details: [
{
cat: "Logic",
values: [
{
date: "2021-08-02",
level: 77.6,
},
{
date: "2021-08-03",
level: 79.1,
},
],
},
],
},
};
I also have a variable defined for parsing the dates const dateParse = d3.timeParse("%Y-%m-%d")
I want to parse all the dates in the object. Since the 'date' is few levels below in the object, I am not able to figure this out. How do I go about it?
The expected output is
const bb = {
Harry: {
details: [
{
cat: "Life",
values: [
{
date: Mon Aug 02 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time),
level: 77.6,
},
{
date: Tue Aug 03 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time),
level: 79.1,
},
],
},
],
},
Barry: {
details: [
{
cat: "Logic",
values: [
{
date: Mon Aug 02 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time),
level: 77.6,
},
{
date: Tue Aug 03 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time),
level: 79.1,
},
],
},
],
},
};

You just have to loop through the objects, select the date node and execute
(new Date(datestring)).toString()
This will generate the date as specified in your output.
const bb = { Harry: { details: [{cat: "Life",values: [{date: "2021-08-02",level: 77.6},{date: "2021-08-03",level: 79.1}]}]},Barry: {details: [{cat: "Logic",values: [{date: "2021-08-02",level: 77.6},{date: "2021-08-03",level: 79.1}]}]}};
Object.values(bb).forEach((value) => {
value.details.forEach((detail) => {
detail.values.forEach((value) => {
value.date = (new Date(value.date)).toString();
})
})
});
console.log(bb);

If you want to parse all the nested date keys, you can do it recursively using the below functions
const bb = { Harry: { details: [{cat: "Life",values: [{date: "2021-08-02",level: 77.6},{date: "2021-08-03",level: 79.1}]}]},Barry: {details: [{cat: "Logic",values: [{date: "2021-08-02",level: 77.6},{date: "2021-08-03",level: 79.1}]}]}};
function traverseArray(inputArray) {
for (const arrayValue of inputArray) {
traverseObject(arrayValue);
}
}
function traverseObject(inputObject) {
for (const key in inputObject) {
const value = inputObject[key];
const valueType = typeof(value);
if (valueType == "object") {
traverseObject(value);
} else if (valueType == "array") {
traverseArray(value);
} else if (key == "date") { // since I want to parse only date keys
inputObject[key] = 'd3.timeParse("%Y-%m-%d") - Parse date here';
}
}
}
traverseObject(bb);
console.log(bb);

JavaScript: Return associative array instead of common array

I'm referring to this answer again.
var firstEvents = events.reduce(function(ar, e) {
var id = e.getId();
if (e.isRecurringEvent() && e.isAllDayEvent() && !ar.some(function(f) {return f.eventId == id})) {
ar.push({eventTitle: e.getTitle(), eventId: id, startDate: e.getAllDayStartDate(), endDate: e.getAllDayEndDate()});
}
return ar;
}, []);
What do I have to change to get an array with the event titles (Strings) as keys and the start dates (Date objects) as values so I can retrieve a certain start date (Date object) via firstEvents['some event title']?
EDIT:
Current Ouput:
firstEvents = [{eventTitle=Event title 1, eventId=xyz1#google.com, startDate=Sun Mar 18 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2018, endDate=Mon Mar 19 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2018},
{eventTitle=Event title 2, eventId=xyz2#google.com, startDate=Tue Mar 19 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2019, endDate=Wed Mar 20 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2019},
{eventTitle=Event title 3, eventId=xyz3#google.com, startDate=Fri Mar 20 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2020, endDate=Sat Mar 21 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2020}]
Needed Output (Pseudo):
firstEvents = ['Event title 1' => Sun Mar 18 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2018,
'Event title 2' => Tue Mar 19 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2019,
'Event title 3' => Fri Mar 20 00:00:00 GMT+01:00 2020]

Do not use push, but set to object with key.
ar = {}; // You may need to change source parameter too
// you cannot change input Array [] to Object {} type inside function
// you can get Array and return Object, but source variable will not change
ar[e.getTitle()] = e.getAllDayStartDate();
Or using some demo data:
var ar = [
{
eventTitle: 'one',
eventId: '#1',
startDate: new Date(),
endDate: new Date()
},
{
eventTitle: 'two',
eventId: 'secondId',
startDate: new Date(),
endDate: new Date()
}];
var retVal = {};
for (var i of ar) {
retVal[i.eventId] = i;
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(retVal, null, 2));
console.log(retVal['#1']);
console.log(retVal.secondId);

How to Update an object in an array

This is my Array
$scope.tooltipsArray = [
{
date: 2018-10-10T07:03:43.835Z,
text: 'name1'
},
{
date: 2018-09-29T18:30:00.000Z,
text: 'name2'
}
];
How can I update date to locale date format like this.
$scope.tooltipsArray = [
{
date: Wed Oct 10 2018 14:05:27 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time),
text: 'name1'
},
{
date: Sun Sep 30 2018 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time),
text: 'name2'
}
];
I have used map() to do that. But it does not work
var vector = $scope.tooltipsArray.map(function (el) { return new Date(el.date).toLocaleDateString(); });
Can anyone tell me how to do this from map() in JavaScript?

You can use the below code -
$scope.tooltipsArray = [
{
date: "2018-10-10T07:03:43.835Z",
text: 'name1'
},
{
date: "2018-09-29T18:30:00.000Z",
text: 'name2'
}
];
var vector = $scope.tooltipsArray.map(function(el) {return { 'date':new Date(el.date).toString(),'text':el.text}});
console.log(vector);
The output will be like below -
[
{date: "Wed Oct 10 2018 12:33:43 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)", text: "name1"}
{date: "Sun Sep 30 2018 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)", text: "name2"}
]

Why is there a .value key after tooltipsArray?
You assigned the array to tooltipsArray, so unless there's a Proxy involved, expect to access the array through $scope.tooltipsArray.
To fix it, just remove .value.
var vector = $scope.tooltipsArray.map(function (el) { return new Date(el.date).toLocaleDateString(); });

1- Remove .value why is there in the first place?
2- You need to change the date inside the object and then return el instead of date if you just want the date to be changed, likewise:
var vector = $scope.tooltipsArray.map(function(el) {
el.date = new Date(el.date).toLocaleDateString();
return el;
});

What map function does is going through array element one by one and run the callback function, so what you have to do is update the whole object or update one entry
el.date = new Date(el.date).toLocaleDateString();

How to ignore time-zone on new Date()?

I have JavaScript function called updateLatestDate that receive as parameter array of objects.
One of the properties of the object in array is the MeasureDate property of date type.
The function updateLatestDate returns the latest date existing in array.
Here is the function:
function updateLatestDate(sensorsData) {
return new Date(Math.max.apply(null, sensorsData.map(function (e) {
return new Date(e.MeasureDate);
})));
}
And here is the example of parameter that function receive:
[{
"Address": 54,
"AlertType": 1,
"Area": "North",
"MeasureDate": "2009-11-27T18:10:00",
"MeasureValue": -1
},
{
"Address": 26,
"AlertType": 1,
"Area": "West",
"MeasureDate": "2010-15-27T15:15:00",
"MeasureValue": -1
},
{
"Address": 25,
"AlertType": 1,
"Area": "North",
"MeasureDate": "2012-10-27T18:10:00",
"MeasureValue": -1
}]
The function updateLatestDate will return MeasureDate value of last object in the array.
And it will look like that:
var latestDate = Sat Oct 27 2012 21:10:00 GMT+0300 (Jerusalem Daylight Time)
As you can see the time of the returned result is different from the time of the input object.The time changed according to GMT.
But I don't want the time to be changed according to GMT.
The desired result is:
var latestDate = Sat Oct 27 2012 18:10:00
Any idea how can I ignore time zone when date returned from updateLatestDate function?

As Frz Khan pointed, you can use the .toISOString() function when returning the date from your function, but if you're seeking the UTC format, use the .toUTCString(), it would output something like Mon, 18 Apr 2016 18:09:32 GMT
function updateLatestDate(sensorsData) {
return new Date(Math.max.apply(null, sensorsData.map(function (e) {
return new Date(e.MeasureDate).toUTCString();
})));
}

The Date.toISOString() function is what you need
try this:
var d = new Date("2012-10-27T18:10:00");
d.toISOString();
result:
"2012-10-27T18:10:00.000Z"

If you use moment it will be
moment('Sat Oct 27 2012 21:10:00 GMT+0300', 'ddd MMM DD DDDD HH:mm:SS [GMT]ZZ').format('ddd MMM DD YYYY HH:mm:SS')

Highstock with datetime and multiple columns

I've been using HighCharts a lot in the past, but I don't remember how to render this kind of chart, with HighStocks:
I have a JSON like this:
[
{
timestamp: 'Sun Aug 16 2015 10:00:00 GMT+1000 (AEST)',
run: 2,
rest: 3
},
{
timestamp: 'Sun Aug 16 2015 10:01:00 GMT+1000 (AEST)',
run: 4,
rest: 1
},
{
timestamp: 'Sun Aug 16 2015 10:02:00 GMT+1000 (AEST)',
run: 2,
rest: 1
},
]
I would like to have a chart with two columns (run and rest) per timestamp. With HighStocks, so I can define my own scale with the mouse.
How can I write this in the chart configuration ?

To use Highstocks, you need to pass your date in milliseconds. So you can use (supposing we are looping through your JSON array):
var d = new Date(json[i].timestamp);
Then your series will have the format:
[d.getTime(), json[i].rest]
You can see a working JSFiddle here, which takes your json array as data.
