I need to make a Javascript array from URL, eg:
turn this:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Baker Street 221b, London&size=450x450&markers=Baker Street 221b, London&sensor=false
Into something like:
array['center'] = Baker Street 221b, London
array['size'] = 450x450
// and so on...
I need to make this serializaion/unserialization work both ways (url to array and array to the part of the url). Are there some built-in functions that do this?
Thanks in advance!
URL to array: (adapted from my answer here)
function URLToArray(url) {
var request = {};
var pairs = url.substring(url.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < pairs.length; i++) {
if(!pairs[i])
continue;
var pair = pairs[i].split('=');
request[decodeURIComponent(pair[0])] = decodeURIComponent(pair[1]);
}
return request;
}
Array to URL:
function ArrayToURL(array) {
var pairs = [];
for (var key in array)
if (array.hasOwnProperty(key))
pairs.push(encodeURIComponent(key) + '=' + encodeURIComponent(array[key]));
return pairs.join('&');
}
the above function URLToArray is not working when url string has elem[]=23&elem[]=56..
see below the adapted function... hope it is working - not 100% tested
function URLToArray(url) {
var request = {};
var arr = [];
var pairs = url.substring(url.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < pairs.length; i++) {
var pair = pairs[i].split('=');
//check we have an array here - add array numeric indexes so the key elem[] is not identical.
if(endsWith(decodeURIComponent(pair[0]), '[]') ) {
var arrName = decodeURIComponent(pair[0]).substring(0, decodeURIComponent(pair[0]).length - 2);
if(!(arrName in arr)) {
arr.push(arrName);
arr[arrName] = [];
}
arr[arrName].push(decodeURIComponent(pair[1]));
request[arrName] = arr[arrName];
} else {
request[decodeURIComponent(pair[0])] = decodeURIComponent(pair[1]);
}
}
return request;
}
where endWith is taken from here
function endsWith(str, suffix) {
return str.indexOf(suffix, str.length - suffix.length) !== -1;
}
/**

*/
var URLToArray = function(url){
function parse_mdim(name, val, data){
let params = name.match(/(\[\])|(\[.+?\])/g);
if(!params)params = new Array();
let tg_id = name.split('[')[0];
if(!(tg_id in data)) data[tg_id] = [];
var prev_data = data[tg_id];
for(var i=0;i<params.length;i++){
if(params[i]!='[]'){
let tparam = params[i].match(/\[(.+)\]/i)[1];
if(!(tparam in prev_data)) prev_data[tparam] = [];
prev_data = prev_data[tparam];
}else{
prev_data.push([]);
prev_data = prev_data[prev_data.length-1];
}
}
prev_data.push(val);
}
var request = {};
var arr = [];
var pairs = url.substring(url.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < pairs.length; i++) {
var pair = pairs[i].split('=');
if(decodeURIComponent(pair[0]).indexOf('[')!=-1)
parse_mdim(decodeURIComponent(pair[0]), decodeURIComponent(pair[1]), request);
else
request[decodeURIComponent(pair[0])] = decodeURIComponent(pair[1]);
}
//To-do here check array and simplifity it: if parameter end with one index in array replace it by value [0]
return request;
}
There's the query-object jQuery plugin for that

I'm trying the following logic and not sure which array function can help. I'm not able to use map or es6 but would like to see an answer.
I tried the following:
/* JS */ - This is not working and would like to see how to make it work.
var input = ['x','y','z'];
var powerSetResult = powerSet(input);
console.log(powerSetResult);
/*Ouput should be [''.'x','y','z','xy,'xz','yz','xyz']*/
function powerSet(arr) {
var data = [];
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
arr[i] = arr[i] + arr[i+1];
data.push(arr[i]);
}
console.log(data);
return data;
}
/* ES 6 */ - Is there a better way to do this?
let input = ['x','y','z'];
let powerSetResult = powerSet(input);
console.log(powerSetResult);
/*Ouput should be [''.'x','y','z','xy,'xz','yz','xyz']*/
const powerSet(arr) {
let data = arr.map(([s1, s2, s3]) => [``,`${s1}`,`${s2}`,`${s3}`,`${s1}${s2}`,`${s1}${s3}`,`${s2}${s3}`,`${s1}${s2}${s3}`]);
console.log(data);
return data;
}
Certainly not the most efficient... but you could do this:
var input = ['x','y','z'];
var powerSetResult = powerSet(input);
console.log(powerSetResult);
function powerSet(arr, result) {
result = result || new Set();
const str = arr.join('');
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
for (let j = i; j <= arr.length; j++) {
result.add(str.slice(i, j));
}
powerSet([...arr.slice(0, i), ...arr.slice(i+1)], result)
}
return Array.from(result).sort((a, b) => {
return (a.length - b.length) || a.localeCompare(b);
});
}
/* Output should be [''.'x','y','z','xy,'xz','yz','xyz'] */
Caveat being it will only work for single letter elements, but is easily modifiable to accommodate more.
I have 2 strings and I need to construct the below result (could be JSON):
indexLine: "id,first,last,email\n"
dataLine: "555,John,Doe,jd#gmail.com"
Result: "id:555,first:john,....;
What would be the fastest way of joining alternately those 2 strings?
I wrote this - but it seems too straight forward:
function convertToObject(indexLine, dataLine) {
var obj = {};
var result = "";
for (var j = 0; j < dataLine.length; j++) {
obj[indexLine[j]] = dataLine[j]; /// add property to object
}
return JSON.stringify(obj); //-> String format;
}
Thanks.
var indexLine = "id,first,last,email";
var dataLine = "555,John,Doe,jd#gmail.com";
var indexes = indexLine.split(',');
var data = dataLine.split(',');
var result = [];
indexes.forEach(function (index, i) {
result.push(index + ':' + data[i]);
});
console.log(result.join(',')); // Outputs: id:555,first:John,last:Doe,email:jd#gmail.com
If you might have more than one instance of your object to create, you could use this code.
var newarray = [],
thing;
for(var y = 0; y < rows.length; y++){
thing = {};
for(var i = 0; i < columns.length; i++){
thing[columns[i]] = rows[y][i];
}
newarray.push(thing)
}

I'm stuck of finding a way to consolidate array elements.
so my array is in format of [id1:port1,id2:port2,id1:port3,id2:port4,id5:port5...] where each element has 2 portions. The id portion is not unique. what I try to consolidate is to create a new array will have data like [id1#port1:port3,id2#port2:port4,id5#port5]
I tried code below but it didn't get me too far. can any guru help me out?
var orinString = "id1:port1,id2:port2,id1:port3,id2:port4,id5:port5";
var newArray1 = orinString.split(",");
var newArray2 = orinString.split(",");
var newArray3 = [];
for (x=0; x<=newArray1.length-1; x++) {
for (y=0; y<= newArray2.length-1; y++) {
if ((newArray1[x].split(":")[0] == newArray2[y].split(":")[0]) && (newArray1[x].split(":")[1] != newArray2[y].split(":")[1])) {
newArray3.push(newArray1[x].split(":")[0] +"#"+ newArray1[x].split(":")[1]);
}
}
}
for (z=0; z<=newArray3.length; z++) {
gs.log("show me the result " +newArray3[z]);
}
is it that you want:
var orinString = "id1:port1,id2:port2,id1:port3,id2:port4,id5:port5";
var arr1 = orinString.split(",");
var temp= "";
var newStr = "";
arr1.sort();
for(i=0; i< arr1.length; i++) {
var item = arr1[i].split(':');
if(item[0] !== temp || temp === "") {
newStr += "," + item[0] + "#" + item[1];
} else {
newStr += ":"+item[1];
}
temp = item[0];
}
console.log(newStr.substring(1));
A typical way to solve a problem like this is
Convert them into workable values
Populate some kind of lookup table
Output the results of this lookup table
For example
var orinString = "id1:port1,id2:port2,id1:port3,id2:port4,id5:port5";
var idsAndPorts = orinString.split(",");
// Populate a key lookup
var hashTable = {};
idsAndPorts.forEach(function(s) {
var splitValue = s.split(':');
var key = splitValue[0];
var value = splitValue[1];
if(hashTable[key]) {
hashTable[key].push(value);
} else {
hashTable[key] = [value];
}
});
// Now convert it back into an array again
var finalArray = [];
for(var k in hashTable) {
finalArray.push(k + '#' + hashTable[k].join(','));
}
// View the results
finalArray.forEach(function(f) {
console.log(f);
})
This does not guarantee the final array will be sorted, but you can sort it yourself if you wish.
Okay, so I've been working on a sort function for my application, and I've gotten stuck.
Here's my fiddle.
To explain briefly, this code starts with an array of strings, serials, and an empty array, displaySerials:
var serials = ["BHU-009", "BHU-008", "BHU-001", "BHU-010", "BHU-002", "TYU-970", "BHU-011", "TYU-969", "BHU-000"];
var displaySerials = [];
The aim of these functions is to output displaySerials as an array of objects with two properties: beginSerial and endSerial. The way that this is intended to work is that the function loops through the array, and tries to set each compatible string in a range with each other, and then from that range create the object where beginSerial is the lowest serial number in range and endSerial is the highest in range.
To clarify, all serials in a contiguous range will have the same prefix. Once that prefix is established then the strings are broken apart from the prefix and compared and sorted numerically.
So based on that, the desired output from the array serials would be:
displaySerials = [
{ beginSerial: "BHU-008", endSerial: "BHU-011" },
{ beginSerial: "BHU-000", endSerial: "BHU-002" },
{ beginSerial: "TYU-969", endSerial: "TYU-970" }
]
I've got it mostly working on my jsfiddle, the only problem is that the function is pushing one duplicate object into the array, and I'm not sure how it is managing to pass my checks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Marc's solution is correct, but I couldn't help thinking it was too much code. This is doing exactly the same thing, starting with sort(), but then using reduce() for a more elegant look.
var serials = ["BHU-009", "BHU-008", "BHU-001", "BHU-010", "BHU-002", "TYU-970", "BHU-011", "TYU-969", "BHU-000"]
serials.sort()
var first = serials.shift()
var ranges = [{begin: first, end: first}]
serials.reduce(mergeRange, ranges[0])
console.log(ranges) // the expected result
// and this is the reduce callback:
function mergeRange(lastRange, s)
{
var parts = s.split(/-/)
var lastParts = lastRange.end.split(/-/)
if (parts[0] === lastParts[0] && parts[1]-1 === +lastParts[1]) {
lastRange.end = s
return lastRange
} else {
var newRange = {begin: s, end: s}
ranges.push(newRange)
return newRange
}
}
I've got a feeling that it's possible to do it without sorting, by recursively merging the results obtained over small pieces of the array (compare elements two by two, then merge results two by two, and so on until you have a single result array). The code wouldn't look terribly nice, but it would scale better and could be done in parallel.
Nothing too sophisticated here, but it should do the trick. Note that I'm sorting the array from the get-go so I can reliably iterate over it.
Fiddle is here: http://jsfiddle.net/qyys9vw1/
var serials = ["BHU-009", "BHU-008", "BHU-001", "BHU-010", "BHU-002", "TYU-970", "BHU-011", "TYU-969", "BHU-000"];
var myNewObjectArray = [];
var sortedSerials = serials.sort();
//seed the object
var myObject = {};
var previous = sortedSerials[0];
var previousPrefix = previous.split("-")[0];
var previousValue = previous.split("-")[1];
myObject.beginSerial = previous;
myObject.endSerial = previous;
//iterate watching for breaks in the sequence
for (var i=1; i < sortedSerials.length; i++) {
var current = sortedSerials[i];
console.log(current);
var currentPrefix = current.split("-")[0];
var currentValue = current.split("-")[1];
if (currentPrefix === previousPrefix && parseInt(currentValue) === parseInt(previousValue)+1) {
//sequential value found, so update the endSerial with it
myObject.endSerial = current;
previous = current;
previousPrefix = currentPrefix;
previousValue = currentValue;
} else {
//sequence broken; push the object
console.log(currentPrefix, previousPrefix, parseInt(currentValue), parseInt(previousValue)+1);
myNewObjectArray.push(myObject);
//re-seed a new object
previous = current;
previousPrefix = currentPrefix;
previousValue = currentValue;
myObject = {};
myObject.beginSerial = current;
myObject.endSerial = current;
}
}
myNewObjectArray.push(myObject); //one final push
console.log(myNewObjectArray);
I would use underscore.js for this
var bSerialExists = _.findWhere(displaySerials, { beginSerial: displaySettings.beginSerial });
var eSerialExists = _.findWhere(displaySerials, { endSerial: displaySettings.endSerial });
if (!bSerialExists && !eSerialExists)
displaySerials.push(displaySettings);
I ended up solving my own problem because I was much closer than I thought I was. I included a final sort to get rid of duplicate objects after the initial sort was finished.
var serials = ["BHU-009", "BHU-008", "BHU-001", "BHU-010", "BHU-002", "TYU-970", "BHU-011", "TYU-969", "BHU-000"];

Here's a function that does this in plain JavaScript.
var serials = ["BHU-009", "BHU-008", "BHU-001", "BHU-010", "BHU-002", "TYU-970", "BHU-011", "TYU-969", "BHU-000"];
function transformSerials(a) {
var result = []; //store array for result
var holder = {}; //create a temporary object
//loop the input array and group by prefix
a.forEach(function(val) {
var parts = val.split('-');
var type = parts[0];
var int = parseInt(parts[1], 10);
if (!holder[type])
holder[type] = { prefix : type, values : [] };
holder[type].values.push({ name : val, value : int });
});
//interate through the temp object and find continuous values
for(var type in holder) {
var last = null;
var groupHolder = {};
//sort the values by integer
var numbers = holder[type].values.sort(function(a,b) {
return parseInt(a.value, 10) > parseInt(b.value, 10);
});
numbers.forEach(function(value, index) {
if (!groupHolder.beginSerial)
groupHolder.beginSerial = value.name;
if (!last || value.value === last + 1) {
last = value.value;
groupHolder.endSerial = value.name;
if (index === numbers.length - 1) {
result.push(groupHolder);
}
}
else {
result.push(groupHolder);
groupHolder = {};
last = null;
}
});
}
return result;
}
console.log(transformSerials(serials));

I have the following JSON:
[{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557704","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557705","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557706","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557707","mobile":"400089151"}]
I need to extract all "phoneNumber" using a js function.
I'm testing from using html and my function is not so good:
function getNumbers(strJSON)
{
strJSON = "[{\"errorMessage\":\"success\",\"mobile\":\"400089151\",\"phoneNumber\":\"400557704\",\"returnCode\":\"0\"},{\"errorMessage\":\"success\",\"mobile\":\"400089151\",\"phoneNumber\":\"400557705\",\"returnCode\":\"0\"},{\"errorMessage\":\"success\",\"mobile\":\"400089151\",\"phoneNumber\":\"400557706\",\"returnCode\":\"0\"}]";
var len = strJSON.length;
var begin_index = strJSON.indexOf("returnCode") - 2;
var last_index = len - 1;
var string_toSplit = strJSON.substring(begin_index, last_index);
var string_splitted = string_toSplit.split("{");
var out="";
alert(strJSON);
alert("string_splitted");
alert(string_splitted);
for ( var i = 0; i < string_splitted.length; i++)
{
if (string_splitted[i].charAt(string_splitted[i].length - 1) === ",")
{
string_splitted[i] = string_splitted[i].slice(0, -1);
}
var json = "{" + string_splitted[i];
var obj = JSON.parse(json);
if (i == string_splitted.length)
{
out = out + obj.phoneNumber;
}
else
{
out = out + obj.phoneNumber + ",";
}
}
return out;
}
For modern browsers you can use the .map() method
var j = [{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557704","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557705","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557706","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557707","mobile":"400089151"}];
var phones = j.map(function(item){return item.phoneNumber});
Update
After seeing your code (do not try to manually split/parse the json string.. use the JSON.parse method) you should use
function getNumbers(strJSON)
{
var myJson = JSON.parse( strJSON );
return myJson.map(function( item ){ return item.phoneNumber}).join(',');
}
Update: An even better way:
function getNumbers(strJSON)
{
var obj = JSON.parse(strJSON);
return obj.map(x => x.phoneNumber).join(", ")
}
Original Post:
A straight forward method is to just iterate over every object in the array and take the values out individually.
var info = [{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557704","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557705","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557706","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557707","mobile":"400089151"}];
var phoneNumbers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < info.length; i++)
{
phoneNumbers.push(info[i].phoneNumber);
}
console.log(phoneNumbers);

UPDATE:
http://jsfiddle.net/hX69r/1/
var info = [{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557704","mobile":"400089151"},

{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557707","mobile":"400089151"}];
var infoString = JSON.stringify(info); //this just turns the object array 'info' into a string
var numbers = getNumbers(infoString);
console.log(numbers);
function getNumbers(strJSON)
{
var obj = JSON.parse(strJSON);
var phoneNumbers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++)
{
phoneNumbers.push(obj[i].phoneNumber);
}
return phoneNumbers.join(", ");
}
Additional Update:
var info = [{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557704","mobile":"400089151"},
{"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557705","mobile":"400089151"},

var infoSingle = {"returnCode":"0","errorMessage":"success","Code":{},"phoneNumber":"400557704","mobile":"400089151"};
console.log(info.length); // prints 4; so you know it has the []
console.log(infoSingle.length); // prints undefined; so you know it doesn't have []
Do not try to re-invent the wheel.
There are many ways to parse JSON already:
Use JSON.parse.
Use jQuery.parseJSON
