How can I .filter an object by elements within an array inside an object?

I've been playing around trying to learn in an API project using Postman and conducting tests using JavaScript. So far, I have succeeded with the help of reading on websites and watching YouTube videos. Of course, previous tests and playing around have been fairly easy but now I came to a stop. I really tried to figure this out for several weeks but I need further guidance, a push in the right direction or direct help.
What I'm trying to do is to filter out some of the response to only view objects that contain specific data.
To do that, I'm using a filter where I want all products containing a specific value inside an array "product_option_values".
My first approach was to see if I could sort products having any values from the first array, and it worked. It filters just fine.
var filterSmall = jsonData.products.filter(fs => fs.associations.product_option_values);
My next approach was to get to my goal of filtering out products according to specific values inside this array. I tried many simple .(dot) combinations and pointing to [index] to access it without any luck. (I must add that I know how to access this from a specific product, but that way doesn't work when filtering).
I've also tried other approaches such as:
var filterSmall = jsonData.products.filter(fs => fs.associations["product_option_values", 0, "name"] === "S");
and other similar combinations.
This is a very shortened sample of the structure of "products" which in its full form consists of 20 products and far more values inside of it:
{
"products": [
{
"id": 16,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Mountain fox notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "22"
},
{
"id": "23"
}
]
}
},
{
"id": 17,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Brown bear notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "23"
},
{
"id": "24"
}
]
}
}
]
}
and here is a small and expanded sample from product_option_values:
{
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": 1,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "0",
"name": "S"
},
{
"id": 2,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "1",
"name": "M"
},
{
"id": 3,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "2",
"name": "L"
}
]
}
How do I proceed? Did I do anything correct or even close to it?
Perhaps I've been staring at this for too long.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to compare nested attributes you have to transform the objects (e.g. by using a map operation), so that the relevant attributes are easily accessible for a comparison. If you want to filter by product_option_value id, you could do something like this:
const jsonData = {
"products": [
{
"id": 16,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Mountain fox notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "22"
},
{
"id": "23"
}
]
}
},
{
"id": 17,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Brown bear notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "23"
},
{
"id": "24"
}
]
}
}
]
};
const sample = {
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": 22,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "0",
"name": "S"
},
{
"id": 2,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "1",
"name": "M"
},
{
"id": 3,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "2",
"name": "L"
}
]
};
const ids = sample.product_option_values.map((el) => String(el.id));
console.log(ids);
const filtered = jsonData.products.filter((fs) => fs.associations.product_option_values.map((e) => e.id).some((f) => ids.includes(f)));
console.log(filtered);

Javascript How to push a key value pair into a nested object array

I have this JSON response where I want to push "status": "pending", inside the nested Menu array, Please help how I can achieve this in Javascript.
[
{
"id": 1,
"status": "pending",
"menues": [
{
"title": "Coke",
"price": "200"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"status": "delivered",
"menues": [
{
"title": "Pepsi",
"price": "120"
}
]
}
]
Here is what I want to achieve:
I just want to push the Staus key/value inside the Menu array
[
{
"id": 1,
"menues": [
{
"title": "Coke",
"price": "200",
"status": "pending",
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"menues": [
{
"title": "Pepsi",
"price": "120",
"status": "delivered",
}
]
}
]

You can go over the array, and for each item, go over the items in menues. Using the forEach method, this can even be done as a single statement:
arr = [
{
"id": 1,
"status": "pending",
"menues": [
{
"title": "Coke",
"price": "200"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"status": "delivered",
"menues": [
{
"title": "Pepsi",
"price": "120"
}
]
}
];
arr.forEach(nested => {
nested.menues.forEach(menu => menu.status = nested.status);
delete nested.status
});
console.log(arr);

Maybe this is what you want? The following script creates a new nested array structure, leaving the original unchanged. Instead of deleting the status property from the outer object I limit the creation of properties in the newly created object to id and menues.
I changed this answer in response to OP's comment asking for ES5 and ES6 methods and the ... operator.
arr = [
{
"id": 1,
"status": "pending",
"menues": [
{
"title": "Coke",
"price": "200"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"status": "delivered",
"menues": [
{
"title": "Pepsi",
"price": "120"
}
]
}
];
const res=arr.map(nested =>({ id:nested.id, menues:
nested.menues.map(menu =>({...menu,status:nested.status})) }));
console.log(res);

Postman - How to count occurrences of a specific object in a JSON response

I am new to JSON and Postman. I believe I'm trying to do something very simple.
I have created a GET request which will get a JSON response like the one below.
In the example below I want to get the count of All "IsArchived" attributes in the response;
The number of those attributes will vary from response to response.
How can I do it? Thanks in advance
{
"Id": 1328,
"Name": "AAA Test",
"Owner": {
"Id": 208,
"Name": "The Boss"
},
"FieldGroups": [
{
"Id": "c81376f0-6ac3-4028-8d61-76a0f815dbf8",
"Name": "General",
"FieldDefinitions": [
{
"Id": 1,
"DisplayName": "Product Name",
"IsArchived": false
},
{
"Id": 2,
"DisplayName": "Short Description",
"IsArchived": false
},
{
"Id": 33,
"DisplayName": "Long Description",
"IsArchived": false
},
]
},
{
"Id": "5ed8746b-0fa8-4022-8216-ad3af17db91f",
"Name": "Somethingelse",
"FieldDefinitions": [
{
"Id": 123,
"DisplayName": "Attribution",
"IsArchived": false
},
{
"Id": 1584,
"DisplayName": "FC1",
"IsArchived": false
},
{
"Id": 623,
"DisplayName": "Sizes",
"IsArchived": false,
"Owner": {
"Id": 208,
"Name": "The Boss"
},
"Unit": "",
"Options": [
{
"Id": 1,
"Value": "XS"
},
{
"Id": 2,
"Value": "S"
},
{
"Id": 3,
"Value": "M"
}
]
}
]
}
],
"IsArchived": false
"Version": 1
}

It is a rather specific solution but I hope it helps. The description is added as comments:
// Convert the response body to a JSON object
var jsonData = pm.response.json()
// Create a count variable which will be increased by 1 everytime IsArchived occurs
var count = 0;
function countIsArchived() {
// Loop through the FieldGroupsArray
_.each(jsonData.FieldGroups, (fieldGroupsArray) => {
// Loop through the FieldDefinitionsArray
_.each(fieldGroupsArray.FieldDefinitions, (fieldDefinitionsArray) => {
// Check if IsArchived exists
if(fieldDefinitionsArray.IsArchived) {
// Increase count by 1
count++;
}
});
});
// IF you want it:
// Check if IsArchived exists on the top level of the JSON response and increase count
if(jsonData.IsArchived) {
count++;
}
// IF you want it:
// Create a Postman environment variable and assign the value of count to it
pm.environment.set("count", count);
}
Additional info:
The , after the following object is not needed. It invalidates the JSON:
{
"Id": 33,
"DisplayName": "Long Description",
"IsArchived": false
}, <--

Objects keys value to be updated with arrays value

Below is my Attempt, I have an object which has array of objects within it, it has a field: 'positionTitle'.
I also have an array of objects which also has a 'positionTitle'
They both have similar data I want all of the values for the positionTitles in my 'individualsData' to go into 'graphData' and be able to now use this new graphData!
I think my attempt is wrong its treating them both as arrays?
Thanks, Dale
graphData = {
"engagementAreas": [{
"id": "1",
"engagementTypes": [{
"name": "forestry",
"engagements": []
},
{
"name": "houses",
"engagements": [{
"name": "engagement1",
"members": [{
"position": {
"id": "3434",
"positionTitle": "Manager"
}
}]
}]
}
]
}]
}, {
"name": "landscaping",
"engagements": [{
"name": "engagement1343",
"members": [{
"position": {
"id": "4545",
"positionTitle": "Senior Manager"
}
}]
}]
}
IndividualData = [{
"account": {
"id": "001b000003WnPy1AAF",
"fullName": "Adnan A. Khan"
},
"positions": [{
"id": "a16b0000004AxeBAAS",
"organizationId": "001b0000005gxmlAAA",
"organizationName": "a",
"positionTitle": "Senior Manager, Energy",
"positionLevel": "5-Middle Management & Advisers",
"isPrimary": true,
"startDate": "2016-10-07",
"endDate": null
}]
}, {
"account": {
"id": "0010X000048DDMsQAO",
"fullName": "Christine Leong"
},
"positions": [{
"id": "a160X000004nKfhQAE",
"organizationId": "001b0000005gxmlAAA",
"organizationName": "a",
"positionTitle": "Managing Director",
"positionLevel": "4-Head of Business Unit/Head of Region",
"isPrimary": true,
"startDate": "2018-03-05",
"endDate": null
}]
}
What I expect to see:
NEWgraphData = {
"engagementAreas": [{
"id": "1",
"engagementTypes": [{
"name": "forestry",
"engagements": []
},
{
"name": "houses",
"engagements": [{
"name": "engagement1",
"members": [{
"position": {
"id": "3434",
"positionTitle": "Senior Manager, Energy" <== from individualsdata
}
}]
}]
}
]
}]
}, {
"name": "landscaping",
"engagements": [{
"name": "engagement1343",
"members": [{
"position": {
"id": "4545",
"positionTitle": "Managing Director" <== also from individuals data
}
}]
}]
}
graphData.engagementAreas.map((el, i) => {
el.engagementTypes.engagements.members.position.positionTitle = individualsData.positions.positionTitle;
return el;
})

As engagementTypes, engagements and members properties are also array of objects, you have to loop them as well as below.
graphData.engagementAreas.map((el, i) => {
el.engagementTypes.forEach((et) => {
et.engagements.forEach((eg) => {
eg.members.forEach((mem) => {
mem.position.positionTitle = individualsData.positions.positionTitle; // make sure this is correct
});
});
});
return el;
})

Here is the solution. but you have to choose what individual data item will be the pick for the positionTitle
graphData.engagementAreas.map((el, i) => {
return el.engagementTypes.map((el2,i2) => {
return el2.engagements.map( (el3,i3) => {
return el3.members.map((el4,i4) => {
return el4.position.positionTitle =individualsDt[0].positions.[0].positionTitle;// take a look here, i just pick positionTitle staticly
})
})
})
});

Passing function argument to retrieve data from an object

The above example is the output I get for two products.
If I try to get access to this data this is where I have a problem
<script type="application/javascript">
function getSKU(s)
{
console.log(SKUinfo.s.Title);
}
getSKU(s238554);
</script>
I imagine this is being caused when I am passing the argument s back to the function getSKU a the node selection in the data object. In this I would expect the console output to be the Title from SKU s238554.
What I get however, is: Uncaught ReferenceError: s238554 is not defined
I would appreciate any guidance that can be offered as I am a javascript novice.

Access your property by used[] on SKUinfo.s.Title like SKUinfo[s].Title
And also pass your property name within the quotes 's238554' as it's not variable.
Something like this.
function getSKU(s){
console.log(SKUinfo[s].Title);
}
getSKU('s238554'); // s238554 within quotes.
