If the 'id' key is duplicated among the objects in the array, how to delete the object
I tried using filter, map, and set, but it doesn't work.
It's not a one-dimensional array, so I don't know how to do it.
as-is
"category": {
"key": 1,
"order": 1,
"list": [
{
"id": "12345",
...
},
{
"id": "12345",
...
},
{
"id": "67890",
...
},
]
}
to-be
"category": {
"key": 1,
"order": 1,
"list": [
{
"id": "12345",
...
},
{
"id": "67890",
...
},
]
}

We iterate over that list using reduce function, then we checked whether the key we are accessing is visited or not with keys parameter of reduce method, and if it's not visited then we just push that object to a filtered array and returning keys array to keep it updated.
const data = {
"category": {
"key": 1,
"order": 1,
"list": [{
"id": "12345"
},
{
"id": "12345"
},
{
"id": "67890"
},
]
}
}
let filtered = [];
data.category.list.reduce((keys, currentObject) => {
if (!keys.includes(currentObject.id)) { //checking if current oject id is present in keys or not
// if not present than we will just push that object in
keys.push(currentObject.id);
//getting filttered object
filtered.push(currentObject);
}
return keys; //returning keys to update it
}, [])
data.category.list = filtered; //updating list
console.log(data);

A solution based on #Nick's comment
let data ={
"category": {
"key": 1,
"order": 1,
"list": [
{
"id": "12345"
},
{
"id": "12345"
},
{
"id": "67890"
},
]
}
}
let uniq = data.category.list.filter((o,i,a) => a.findIndex(o2 => o2.id == o.id) == i)
data.category.list = uniq
console.log(data)

You can use a set to track if id
const category = [{
"category": {
"key": 1,
"order": 1,
"list": [{
"id": "12345",
},
{
"id": "12345",
},
{
"id": "67890",
},
]
}
}]
const z = category.map(elem => {
const set = new Set()
return {
...elem,
category: {
...elem.category,
list: elem.category.list.reduce((acc, curr) => {
if (!set.has(curr.id)) {
set.add(curr.id);
acc.push(curr)
}
return acc;
}, [])
}
}
});
console.log(z)

JavaScript: filter array of objects by another

I'm trying to filter some objects based on another array of objects. So I'm getting data from an API. These are for example receipts:
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "test",
"category": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Cookies",
},
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "test2",
"category": {
"id": 2,
"name": "Candy",
},
}
]
Then I'm trying to filter the objects on the category name based on another array of categories.
I've created a function for this:
function onSelectCategory(category) {
let receiptsList = receipts.filter((a) =>
a.category.includes(category.name)
);
setReceiptsView(receiptsList);
setSelectedCategory(category);
}
const category = [ { "id": 2, "name": "Candy" } ];
onSelectCategory(category);
When I run this function, I get an empty Array []. I can't really figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Since the param seems to be an array of objects, you need to use Array#some for comparison instead:
const receipts = [
{ "id": 1, "name": "test", "category": { "id": 1, "name": "Cookies" } },
{ "id": 2, "name": "test2", "category": { "id": 2, "name": "Candy" } }
];
const categories = [ { "id": 2, "name": "Candy" } ];
const receiptsList = receipts.filter(({ category }) =>
categories.some(({ name }) => name === category.name)
);
console.log(receiptsList);
Another solution using Set:
const receipts = [
{ "id": 1, "name": "test", "category": { "id": 1, "name": "Cookies" } },
{ "id": 2, "name": "test2", "category": { "id": 2, "name": "Candy" } }
];
const categories = [ { "id": 2, "name": "Candy" } ];
const categorySet = new Set(categories.map(({ name }) => name));
const receiptsList = receipts.filter(({ category }) =>
categorySet.has(category.name)
);
console.log(receiptsList);

Assuming that category (the parameter) is a string, the issue is that you are attempting to get the attribute name from the string, when you should be comparing the string to the object.
Try this:
a.category.name == category;
instead of
a.category.includes(category.name)
I may be wrong aboout assuming that category is a string, please clarify by telling us what the parameter category is equal to.

Look up values in an array using looping forEach Google Apps Script Javascript

I have an object that looks like the following {key: id numbers}
var obj = {
"c4ecb": {id: [3]},
"a4269": {id: [34,36]},
"d76fa": {id: [54,55,60,61]},
"58cb5": {id: [67]}
}
How do I loop each above id in the following array, and return the label?
var response =
{
"success": true,
"data": [
{
"key": "c4ecb",
"name": "fruits",
"options": [
{
"label": "strawberry",
"id": 3
},
{
"label": "apple",
"id": 4
},
{
"label": "pineapple",
"id": 5
},
{
"label": "Other",
"id": 31
}
],
}
]
},
{
"success": true,
"data": [
{
"key": "a4269",
"name": "vegetables",
"options": [
{
"label": "lettuce",
"id": 34
},
{
"label": "cucumber",
"id": 35
},
{
"label": "radish",
"id": 36
}
],
}
]
},
{
"success": true,
"data": [
{
"key": "d76fa",
"name": "pasta",
"options": [
{
"label": "spaghetti",
"id": 54
},
{
"label": "rigatoni",
"id": 55
},
{
"label": "linguine",
"id": 56
},
{
"label": "lasagna",
"id": 60
},
{
"label": "fettuccine",
"id": 61
}
],
}
]
}
Finally, what I want to do is look up the key and return a string of id values.
For example, input c4ecb and output strawberry. Input a4269 and output lettuce, radish. Input d76fa and output "spaghetti, rigatoni, lasagna, fettuccine"
I think to join the multiple labels output into one string I could use something like
array.data.vegetables.map(vegetables => vegetables.value).join(', ')].toString();
So in the end I want to have something like
var fruits = [some code that outputs "strawberry"];
var vegetables = [some code that outputs "lettuce, radish"];
var pasta = [some code that outputs "spaghetti, rigatoni, lasagna, fettuccine"];
What I've tried so far:
The following loop will return the id only if there is one id to be called for: e.g. only in case one where {id: 3} but returns null in cases like {id: 34,36} (because it's looking for '34,36' in id, which doesn't exist - I need to look for each one individually.
response.data.forEach(({key, options}) => {
if (obj[key]) {
options.forEach(({id, label}) => {
if (id == obj[key].id) obj[key].label = label;
});
}
});
console.log(obj)

Filter the response object to focus on the category that matches the id.
Map over the options array and select the items which appear in obj[id].
Finally convert the filtered results to a string.
See filteredLabelsAsString() function below for implementation.
var obj = {
"c4ecb": {"id": [3]},
"a4269": {"id": [34,36]},
"d76fa": {"id": [54,55,60,61]},
"58cb5": {"id": [67]}
}
var response =
[{
"success": true,
"data": [
{
"key": "c4ecb",
"name": "fruits",
"options": [
{
"label": "strawberry",
"id": 3
},
{
"label": "apple",
"id": 4
},
{
"label": "pineapple",
"id": 5
},
{
"label": "Other",
"id": 31
}
],
}
]
},
{
"success": true,
"data": [
{
"key": "a4269",
"name": "vegetables",
"options": [
{
"label": "lettuce",
"id": 34
},
{
"label": "cucumber",
"id": 35
},
{
"label": "radish",
"id": 36
}
],
}
]
},
{
"success": true,
"data": [
{
"key": "d76fa",
"name": "pasta",
"options": [
{
"label": "spaghetti",
"id": 54
},
{
"label": "rigatoni",
"id": 55
},
{
"label": "linguine",
"id": 56
},
{
"label": "lasagna",
"id": 60
},
{
"label": "fettuccine",
"id": 61
}
],
}
]
}];
function filteredLabelsAsString(obj_key, obj, content=response) {
// sanity check: obj must contain obj_key
if (Object.keys(obj).includes(obj_key)) {
return content.filter((item) => {
// filter content using value of obj_key
return item.data[0].key == obj_key;
}).map((item) => {
// item : { success: true, data: [] }
// map over options array
return item.data[0].options.map((opt) => {
// option : {id, label}
// return the label if the id is in the obj object's list
if (obj[item.data[0].key].id.includes(opt.id))
return opt.label;
}).filter((label) => {
// filter out empty items
return label !== undefined;
});
}).join(",");
}
// if obj does not contain obj_key return empty string
return "";
}
console.log("fruits: " + filteredLabelsAsString("c4ecb", obj));
console.log("vegetables: " + filteredLabelsAsString("a4269", obj));
console.log("pasta: " + filteredLabelsAsString("d76fa", obj));

Lodash keyBy for multiple nested level arrays

I have an array of object, and i want to convert it into a map of key value pairs with the id as the key. However, I want to do it for both the root level and within the recipes attribute.
Array resp:
[
{
"id": "1",
"recipes": [
{
"id": 4036
},
{
"id": 4041
}
]
},
{
"id": "2",
"recipes": [
{
"id": 4052
},
{
"id": 4053
}
]
}
]
I came across _.keyBy() which maps an attribute as the key, but it doesn't allow nested levels.
Function:
var respObj = _.keyBy(resp, 'id');
Is there an elegant solution to massage resp to make all the objects nested within the array use id as key?
thanks!

you can do it with _.keyBy and _.mapValues
_.chain(resp)
.keyBy('id')
.mapValues(function(item) {
item.recipes = _.keyBy(item.recipes, 'id');
return item;
})
.value();

This is a generic solution that runs _.keyBy recursively on arrays, and the objects inside them:
function deepKeyBy(arr, key) {
return _(arr)
.map(function(o) { // map each object in the array
return _.mapValues(o, function(v) { // map the properties of the object
return _.isArray(v) ? deepKeyBy(v, key) : v; // if the property value is an array, run deepKeyBy() on it
});
})
.keyBy(key); // index the object by the key
}
I've added another level of data in the example (ingredients):
function deepKeyBy(arr, key) {
return _(arr)
.map(function(o) {
return _.mapValues(o, function(v) {
return _.isArray(v) ? deepKeyBy(v, key) : v;
});
})
.keyBy(key);
}
var arr = [{
"id": "1",
"recipes": [{
"id": 4036,
"ingerdients": [{
"id": 5555555
}, {
"id": 5555556
}, {
"id": 5555557
}]
}, {
"id": 4041
}]
}, {
"id": "2",
"recipes": [{
"id": 4052
}, {
"id": 4053
}]
}];
var result = deepKeyBy(arr, 'id');
console.log(result);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.2/lodash.min.js"></script>

You could get a flattened collection of recipes, concatenate the response and then key by id:
var result = _.chain(resp)
.flatMap('recipes')
.concat(resp)
.keyBy('id')
.value()
The flatMap call will pluck all the recipes from the response and flatten the arrays so we're left with this:
[
{ "id": 4036 },
{ "id": 4041 },
{ "id": 4052 },
{ "id": 4053 }
]
The response is then appended to this array using concat so we then have:
[
{ "id": 4036 },
{ "id": 4041 },
{ "id": 4052 },
{ "id": 4053 },
{ "id": "1", recipes: ... },
{ "id": "2", recipes: ... }
]
Finally we use keyBy to get the required structure .
var resp = [
{
"id": "1",
"recipes": [
{
"id": 4036
},
{
"id": 4041
}
]
},
{
"id": "2",
"recipes": [
{
"id": 4052
},
{
"id": 4053
}
]
}
]
var result = _.chain(resp)
.flatMap('recipes')
.concat(resp)
.keyBy('id')
.value()
document.getElementById('result').textContent = JSON.stringify(result);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.15.0/lodash.min.js"></script>
<p>
<pre id="result"></pre>
</p>

Json sorting based on value

I have sample json, i need to sort based on the values using javascript/jquery.
I added example json code and expected output code in bellow.
For example with have this code :
var json = {
"users": {
"metrics": {
"e-f2e04fc7aa72": {
"order": 5,
"displayName": "User5"
},
"bb202c11-5d44-48a": {
"order": 1,
"displayName": "User2"
},
"a0d6e3afa2b5": {
"order": 3,
"displayName": "User3"
},
"46af13d22392856da": {
"order": 4,
"displayName": "User4"
},
"0c5f43cdd73b9cf623": {
"order": 2,
"displayName": "User2"
}
}
}
}
How can I sort this json to be like this :
var json = {
"users": {
"metrics": {
"bb202c11-5d44-48a": {
"order": 1,
"displayName": "User1"
},
"0c5f43cdd73b9cf623": {
"order": 2,
"displayName": "User2"
},
"a0d6e3afa2b5": {
"order": 3,
"displayName": "User3"
},
"46af13d22392856da": {
"order": 4,
"displayName": "User4"
},
"e-f2e04fc7aa72": {
"order": 5,
"displayName": "User5"
},
}
}
}

You can't sort the object, but you can create a sorted list from it.
var metricsSorted = [];
for (var key in json.users.metrics) {
var metric = json.users.metrics[key];
metric.id = key;
metricsSorted.push(metric);
}
metricsSorted.sort(function(a, b) {
return a.order - b.order;
});
console.log(metricsSorted);

First of all, you cannot sort an object, you can define your target json as array so it could be sorted.
Let's say, you can define you target json as :
var json = {
"users": {
"metrics": [
{ "id": "bb202c11-5d44-48a",
"order": 1,
"displayName": "User1"
},
{ "id": "0c5f43cdd73b9cf623",
"order": 2,
"displayName": "User2"
},
{ "id": "a0d6e3afa2b5",
"order": 3,
"displayName": "User3"
},
{ "id": "46af13d22392856da",
"order": 4,
"displayName": "User4"
},
{ "id": "e-f2e04fc7aa72",
"order": 5,
"displayName": "User5"
}
]
}
}
And then you can use below code to sort your original json into it as below:
var metrics = []
for(var id in json.users.metrics){
metrics.push({"id": id,"order":json.users.metrics[id].order,"displayName":json.users.metrics[id].displayName})
}
metrics.sort(function(a,b) { return a.order - b.order } );
json.users.metrics = metrics
//console.log(JSON.stringify(json))

You can iterate through the properties of metrics, using e.g. for .. in, and create a list of users. Then it can be sorted.
var users = []
var metrics = json.users.metrics
for (var userId in metrics) {
var user = metrics[userId];
user["userId"] = userId;
users.push(user);
}
In the format you expect, however, you cannot do it, as object properties cannot be sorted (as far as I know).
