I have the following response from a Javascript ElasticSearch Query, and i need to map it to the below structure. Is there a more efficient way to do this than what I am currently doing?
Thanks
Structure I need to map to: (about 700 of these)
[{
"coordinates": ["48", "37"],
"name": "something",
"population": "501"
},
Current structure of my data being returned:
[Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object, Object]
0: Object
_id: "4"
_index: "locationIndex"
_score: 1
_source: Object
coordinates: Array[2]
0: -77.080597
1: 38.892899
length: 2
__proto__: Array[0]
name: "someName"
population: 57205
1: Object
...
What I'm trying but fails:
var results= [{
"key": 'coordinates',
resp.coordiantes[0],
resp.coordinates[1],
"key": 'name',
resp.name
})
}];
Assuming that your data is stored inside a myData variable, you can use the Array.prototype.map method to manipulate it and achieve what you want. Here's a solution:
result = myData.map(function(obj) {
return {
coordinates: obj._source.coordinates,
name: obj.name,
population: obj.population
}
});
Simple as this! The result will be something like this:
[
{
"coordinates": [-77.080597, 38.892899],
"name": "some name",
"population": 52701
},
{
"coordinates": [-54.930299, 30.992833],
"name": "some name 2",
"population": 84229
},
{
"coordinates": [-82.001438, -5.38131],
"name": "some name 3",
"population": 5991
} //, ...
]
It looks like you don't quite understand Object syntax in Javascript; in order for my answer to make the most sense, you may wish to read up a little on them.
Now that you understand Objects more, it should become quite clear that what you want looks something like:
var results = [];
for (var i = 0, len = data.length; i < len; i++)
{
var resp = data[i];
results.push({
'coordinates':resp['source']['coordinates'],
'name':resp.name,
'population':resp.population
});
}
For bonus points, you could include a JS framework like jQuery and just uase a map function.
I like Marcos map solution the most but also possible and quick is to use Array.from(data). This helped me in the past to convert the response API data that should be an array but wasn't yet.
I am the author of the open source project http://www.jinqJs.com.
You can easily do something like this to do what you want.
var result = jinqJs().from(data5).select(function(row){
return {coordinates: [row.coordinates[0]['0'], row.coordinates[0]['1']],
name: row.name,
population: row.population
}
});

I want to use this data (below) as a data source for a d3.js program:
{
"component": {
"name1": {
"graphname": {
"title": "foo",
"data": [
{"data": "DATE IN ISOFORMAT", "value": 5},
{"data": "DATE IN ISOFORMAT", "value": 10}
]
}
},
"name2": {
"graphname": {
"title": "foo",
"data": [
{"data": "DATE IN ISOFORMAT", "value": 5},
{"data": "DATE IN ISOFORMAT", "value": 10}
]
}
}
}
"component2": {...
}
D3 accepts only array data? How i can manipulate it to work?
I want to graph for all component any "graphname" aggregated by "name"
Any tips?
D3 does not just accept arrays as data sources, but for looping purposes, arrays are much more convenient than JavaScript objects ("dicts"). There is a very easy way to convert objects to arrays, though. If your object above were called d, then its corresponding array can be created with:
var dlist = d3.entries(d);
Now dlist will be something like:
[ { key: 'component',
value: { name1: ..., name2: ... } },
{ key: 'component2',
value: { name1: ..., name2: ... } } ]
The original dict has been remapped into an array of "records," each with key and value pairs. This "array of records" pattern is very common in D3 work, and JavaScript in general. If you need to loop over the sub-structures (e.g. the name1, name2, ... values, d3.entries can be applied at multiple levels of the original structure, as those dict-to-list transforms are required.
Since this answer is called out in the comments as wrong, here's a working example of using an object ("dict") as a data source for a D3 program: first in a simple loop, then secondarily using the idiomatic d3 .data(...).enter() pipeline.
When I make an API request, the API server returns me a JSON object. How do I parse the JSON object to their designated types in Javascript?
This is what is being returned to me:
{
"student_name": "Joshua",
"classes": [
"A1",
"A2",
"A3",
]
"food": {
"size": "slice",
"type": "pepperoni",
}
}
So would like to parse the array, classes, the object, food, and the string student_name, and console log them.
You need to use JSON.parse() to do it:
var myData = {
"student_name": "Joshua",
"classes": [
"A1",
"A2",
"A3",
]
"food": {
"size": "slice",
"type": "pepperoni",
}
}
var myObject = JSON.parse(myData);
console.log(myObject.student_name); //Output: Joshua
console.dir(myObject) //to see your object in console.
display a single element:
console.log(myData.classes[0]);
display all elements of an array:
var arr = myData.classes;
for(var i in arr)
{
console.log(arr[i]);
}

About JSON.parse()
JSON.Parse() Examples
JSON is the JavaScript Object Notation, which means JSON snippets already represent JavaScript objects. You just have to parse them using:
var myObject = JSON.parse(json);
And then you can access:
var myArray = myObject.classes; //should give you an array
console.log(myArray[0]); //should print "A1"
var myFood = myObject.food //should give you a food object with size and type properties
console.log(myFood.size); //should print "slice"
I have an JSON array like this
var filter_value_data = [{"Status":[{"name":"Open","id":"1"},{"name":"Pending","id":"2"},{"name":"Resolved","id":"3"},{"name":"Closed","id":"4"},{"name":"Evaluation","id":"5"}]},{"Payment Status":[{"name":"Paid","id":"10"},{"name":"UnPaid","id":"11"},{"name":"Part Paid","id":"12"}]},{"Priority":[{"name":"Low","id":"6"},{"name":"Medium","id":"7"},{"name":"High","id":"8"},{"name":"Urgent","id":"9"}]}]
I have tried filter_value_data["Status"] which is obviously wrong. How do I get the JSON elements for Status using the names like Status,Payment Status?
filter_value_data is an array (having []), so use filter_value_data[0].Status to get the first element-object with property "Status".
It is always good to format your code in order to see the hierarchy of the structures:
var filter_value_data = [
{
"Status": [
{
"name": "Open",
"id": "1"
}, {
"name": "Pending",
"id": "2"
}, ...
]
}, {
"Payment Status": [
{
"name": "Paid",
"id": "10"
}, ...
]
}, {
"Priority": [
{
"name": "Low",
"id": "6"
}, ...
]
}
];
With your current JSON you can't get the elements with the name alone.
You can get Status with filter_value_data[0]['Status'] and Payment status with filter_value_data[1]['Payment Status'].
This is because the keys are in seperate objects in the array.
In order to get them with filter_value_data['Status'] you need to change your JSON to
var filter_value_data = {
"Status":[
{"name":"Open","id":"1"},
{"name":"Pending","id":"2"},
{"name":"Resolved","id":"3"},
{"name":"Closed","id":"4"},
{"name":"Evaluation","id":"5"}
],
"Payment Status":[
{"name":"Paid","id":"10"},
{"name":"UnPaid","id":"11"},
{"name":"Part Paid","id":"12"}
],
"Priority":[
{"name":"Low","id":"6"},
{"name":"Medium","id":"7"},
{"name":"High","id":"8"},
{"name":"Urgent","id":"9"}
]
};
I wrote this on my phone so it's not as well-formatted as usual. I'll change it ASAP.
With your current JSON, created a result which might be helpful for you.
JS:
$.each(filter_value_data,function(ind,val){
var sta = val.Status; // Status Object get displayed
for(var i=0;i<sta.length;i++){
var idVal= sta[i].id;
var nameVal = sta[i].name;
Statusarray.push(idVal,nameVal);
console.log(Statusarray);
}
})
FiddleDemo
You can use below code, it will return status object
filter_value_data[0]['Status']
filter_value_data[0]['Payment Status']
to get Single value you use :
filter_value_data[0]['Status'][0]['name']
Let's say I have the next JSON file:
{
"shows": [
{
"name": "House of cards",
"rating": 8
},
{
"name": "Breaking bad",
"rating": 10
}
]
}
I want to access the rating of a show, by it's name. Something like this:
var rating = data.shows["House of cards"].rating;
Is this possible? Or something similar?
Thanks a lot!
You won't have such hash-style access just by deserializing that JSON sample.
Maybe you might be able to re-formulate how the data is serialized into JSON and use object literals even for shows:
{
"shows": {
"House of cards": {
"rating": 8
}
}
}
And you can still obtain an array of show keys using Object.keys(...):
Object.keys(x.shows);
Or you can even change the structure once you deserialize that JSON:
var x = { shows: {} };
for(var index in some.shows) {
x.shows[some.shows[index].name] = { rating: some.shows[index].rating };
}
// Accessing a show
var rating = x.shows["House of cards"].rating;
I suggest you that it should be better to do this conversion and gain the benefit of accessing your shows using plain JavaScript, rather than having to iterate the whole show array to find one.
When you use object literals, you're accessing properties like a dictionary/hash table, which makes no use of any search function behind the scenes.
Update
OP has concerns about how to iterate shows once it's an associative array/object instead of regular array:
Object.keys(shows).forEach(function(showTitle) {
// Do stuff here for each iteration
});
Or...
for(var showTitle in shows) {
// Do stuff here for each iteration
}
Update 2
Here's a working sample on jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dst4U/
Try
var rating = {
"shows": [
{
"name": "House of cards",
"rating": 8
},
{
"name": "Breaking bad",
"rating": 10
}
]
};
rating.shows.forEach(findsearchkey);
function findsearchkey(element, index, array) {
if( element.name == 'House of cards' ) {
console.log( array[index].rating );
}
}
Fiddle
var data = {"shows": [{"name": "House of cards","rating": 8},{"name": "Breaking bad","rating": 10}]};
var shows = data.shows;
var showOfRatingToBeFound = "House of cards";
for(var a in shows){
if(shows[a].name == showOfRatingToBeFound){
alert("Rating Of "+ showOfRatingToBeFound+ " is " +shows[a].rating);
}
}

In the above array example I need to add data to values array which is part of elements array dynamically. How do I do it using JavaScript push method?
As you will see, it's much easier to conceptualise your code if it is formatted well. Tools like jsBeautifier can help with this task.
First, it's clear that elements is part of a JS object. We'll call it foo, but you'll have to change this to the correct name in your code.
foo.elements[0].values.push({
value: 'some value'
});
This will add a new object to the values array.
elements[0].values.push({"value": new_value});
if the above is named var obj,
obj['elements'][0]['values'].push(someValue);
Presuming elements is part of an object called myObj for the example below, you could use either syntax.
myObj["elements"][0]["values"].push({ value: "my new value" });
or
myObj.elements[0].values.push({ value: "my new value" });
