Closed 1 year ago.
How can i compare 2 objects and their values using ES6?
Objects i have:
let obj1 = { c: 1, o: 1, m: 2, a: 1, s: 1 }
let obj2 = { a: 4, b: 2, c: 3, m: 2, o: 1, s: 1, d: 2 }
I want to check if obj1[key] exists in obj2. And if value of this key in obj2 same as in obj1 return true;
PS i'm kinda new to programming

I made a simple mockup with "pseudocode" comment that should help you understand
function checkObjInTables(tab1, tab2, key){
// return {KEY EXIST IN TABLE 1} AND {KEY EXIST IN TABLE 2} AND {VALUE OF KEY IN TABLE 1} IS EQUAL TO {VALUE OF KEY IN TABLE 2}
return key in tab1 && key in tab2 && tab1[key] == tab2[key];
};
let obj1 = { c: 1, o: 1, m: 2, a: 1, s: 1 }
let obj2 = { a: 4, b: 2, c: 3, m: 2, o: 1, s: 1, d: 2 }
console.log(checkObjInTables(obj1, obj2, "s")); // true
console.log(checkObjInTables(obj1, obj2, "a")); // false

Assuming the objects in the example above are not equal and that the definition of "equal" above is incomplete (and assuming we want to handle objects only) the following should work:
function equals(o1, o2) {
if (typeof o1 !== 'object' || typeof o2 !== 'object') {
return false; // we compare objects only!
}
// when one object has more attributes than the other - they can't be eq
if (Object.keys(o1).length !== Object.keys(o2).length) {
return false;
}
for (let k of Object.keys(o1)) {
if (o1[k] !== o2[k]) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
To clarify, according to the definition in the question the following objects are equal:
o1 = { a: 1 };
o2 = { a: 1, b: 2 };
but I find it hard to believe that this was the intention of the OP!

There is a JavaScript way.
let obj1 = { c: 1, o: 1, m: 2, a: 1, s: 1 };
let obj2 = { a: 4, b: 2, c: 3, m: 2, o: 1, s: 1, d: 2 };
const isObject = obj => typeof obj === 'object' && obj !== null;
function check(obj1, obj2) {
// check if both inputs are object and not null
if(!isObject(obj1) || !isObject(obj2)) return false;
// check if both obj has equal size
if(Object.keys(obj1) !== Object.keys(obj2)) return false;
for (const key of Object.keys(obj1)) {
if (!(key in obj2) || obj1[key] !== obj2[key]) return false;
}
return true;
}
console.log(check(obj1, obj2));

How can I unite multiple objects to add their keys?

Implement the sumObjects function, which takes an unlimited number of objects and returns an object that combines all the objects entered.
Notes:
All object properties will have numeric values only
If the object keys match, the values of the corresponding keys are summed
The function always returns an object
The numbers in the object can be positive or negative
You can use the rest operator to collect arguments passed to a function in one array
Examples:
const obj = {};
sumObjects() === {}
sumObjects(obj) === {}
and
const first = {a: 2, b: 4};
const second = {a: 2, b: 10};
const third = {d: -5};
sumObjects(first) === {a: 2, b: 4}
sumObjects(first, third) === {a: 2, b: 4, d: -5}
sumObjects(first, second, third) === {a: 4, b: 14, d: -5}
This is my code.
function sumObjects(...params) {
let C = Object.fromEntries(
Object.keys(params[0])
.concat(Object.keys(params[1]))
.map(k => [k,
(params[0][k] || 0) + (params[1][k])
])
)
return C
}
I don't know how to add all these objects into one.
The bottom line is that I need to combine all the objects, but I just don't know how to do this, I can't find anything.

You can iterate over the param objects using .reduce and for each object, set/update its properties in acc:
function sumObjects(...params) {
return params.reduce((acc,item) => {
Object.entries(item).forEach(([property,value]) => {
const prev = acc[property];
acc[property] = prev ? prev+value : value;
});
return acc;
}, {});
}
const first = { a: 2, b: 4 };
const second = { a: 2, b: 10 };
const third = { d: -5 };
console.log( sumObjects(first) );
console.log( sumObjects(first, third) );
console.log( sumObjects(first, second, third) );

You could reduce the array of objects and iterate the entries of a single object.
const
sumObjects = (...objects) => objects.reduce((r, o) => {
Object.entries(o).forEach(([k, v]) => r[k] = (r[k] ||0) + v);
return r;
}, {}),
first = { a: 2, b: 4 },
second = { a: 2, b: 10 },
third = { d: -5 };
console.log(sumObjects(first)); // {a: 2, b: 4}
console.log(sumObjects(first, third)); // {a: 2, b: 4, d: -5}
console.log(sumObjects(first, second, third)); // {a: 4, b: 14, d: -5}

create variables from an object

I'm working on a project where I get an object in input like this one :
const obj = {
a: 'somestring',
b: 42,
c: {
d: 'foo',
e: 'bar'
},
f: [1, 2]
};
and I need to create some variables to get to this output :
const a = "somestring"
const b = 42
const c.d = "foo"
const c.e = "bar"
const f[0] = 1
const f[1] = 2
I got a result with this code :
for (const [k1, v1] of Object.entries(obj)) {
if (typeof v1 === "object") {
if (Array.isArray(v1)) {
for (const [k2, v2] of Object.entries(v1)) {
console.log(`const ${k1}[${k2}] = ${v2}`);
}
} else {
for (const [k2, v2] of Object.entries(v1)) {
console.log(`const ${k1}.${k2} = ${v2}`);
}
}
} else {
console.log(`const ${k1} = ${v1}`);
}
}
But when I get an object more complex like this one :
const obj = {
a: [
{
b: 'lorem'
},
{
c: 'ipsum'
}
],
d: {
e: {
f : 'foobar'
}
}
};
My output look like this :
const a[0] = [object Object]
const a[1] = [object Object]
const d.e = [object Object]
I can't find any relevant solutions. Is there a solution or npm package for this?

There is a feature called destructuring docs click here
This feature as the docs say will help you create new variables from a nested object.
Taking a object which is nested you can access its leaf values and assign them directly to vars like this:
const o = {
a: 'a',
b: {
c : 'c',
d: {
e: 'e'
}
}
};
const {a ,b : { c, d: {e} }} = o;
alert(a);
alert(c);
alert(e);
Edit: it works with arrays as well not objects only

You can do it with eval function in JS:
const obj = {
a: 'somestring',
b: 42,
c: {
d: 'foo',
e: 'bar'
},
f: [1, 2]
};
var log = console.log;
for (let key in obj) {
//log(key);
eval(`var ${key} = obj.${key}`);
}
log(a);
log(b);
log(c);
log(f);

I think you want something like this:
const obj = {
a: 'somestring',
b: 42,
c: {
d: 'foo',
e: 'bar'
},
f: [1, 2]
};
const parse = (obj, prefix = '', isArray=false) => {
Object.entries(obj).forEach(([k, v]) => {
if (typeof v === 'object') parse(v, `${k}`, Array.isArray(v))
else {
const value = (typeof v === 'string') ? `"${v}"` : v;
const before = isArray ? '[' : prefix ? '.' : '';
const after = isArray ? ']' : '';
console.log(`const ${prefix}${before}${k}${after} = ${value}`)
}
});
}
parse(obj);

update nested json object using recursion in JavaScript

I'm trying to create an updated object from an existing object.
The sample object is:
// sample object
const testObj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: {
e: 3,
f: {
g: 4
}
}
}
};
I want to create a new object from the above object with some concatenation of each value:
// expected object
const expectedObject= {
a: '1 a',
b: {
c: '2 a',
d: {
e: '3 a',
f: {
g: '4 a'
}
}
}
};
here is my sample code:
let expectedObject = {};
const newObject = object => {
Object.entries(object).forEach(([key, value]) => {
if (typeof value === "object") {
Object.keys(value).map(key => {
value[key] = value[key] + " a";
return value;
});
expectedObject[key] = value;
//return newTest;
} else {
expectedObject[key] = value;
return expectedObject;
}
});
return expectedObject;
};
console.log(newObject(testObj));
the outcome in console is:
{a: 1, b: {…}}
a: 1
b:
c: "2 a"
d: "[object Object] a"
__proto__: Object
__proto__: Object
I wanted to use recursion here and also tried it but no luck.
any help, thanks?

You could get a new object my mapping changed values and creating new objects.
function map(object, fn) {
return Object.fromEntries(Object
.entries(object)
.map(([k, v]) => [k, v && typeof v === 'object' ? map(v, fn) : fn(v)])
);
}
var object = { a: 1, b: { c: 2, d: { e: 3, f: { g: 4 } } } },
result = map(object, v => v + ' a');
console.log(result);
If you have arrays inside, you could add a check in advance and map the values.
const
map = fn => {
const iter = v => v && typeof v === 'object'
? Array.isArray(v)
? v.map(iter)
: Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(v).map(([k, v]) => [k, iter(v, fn)]))
: fn(v);
return iter;
};
var object = { a: 1, b: { c: 2, d: { e: 3, f: { g: 4, k: [5, 6] } } } },
addA = map(v => v + ' a'),
result = addA(object);
console.log(result);

This is simply a refactoring of the answer from #user633183. I like that approach a lot, but think it can be simplified by extracting two more reusable functions. This started as a comment on that answer, but I thought it would be better to be explicit.
const map = (f) => (a) =>
a.map(f)
const mapObj = (f) => (o) =>
Object .entries (o) .reduce ( (a, [k, v] ) => ({ ...a, [k]: f(v) }), {})
const traverse = (f) => (t) =>
Array.isArray(t)
? map (traverse (f)) (t)
: Object(t) === t
? mapObj (traverse (f)) (t)
: f (t)
const input =
{ a: [ 1, 11, 111 ], b: { c: 2, d: { e: [ 3, { f: { g: 4 } } ] } } }
const output =
traverse(x => `${x} a`) (input)
console.log(output)
mapObj can be written in many different ways. Here are two alternatives:
const mapObj = (f = identity) => (o = {}) =>
Object .fromEntries (Object .entries (o) .map (([ k, v ]) => [ k, f (v) ]))
const mapObj = (f = identity) => (o = {}) =>
Object .assign .apply (null, Object .entries (o) .map (([ k, v ]) => ({ [k]: f (v)

Here's an approach using a modification of the original code to demonstrate what needed to be changed in order to make it work. You had some things switched up reading the value and setting the new one. Also I'm using the spread operator to clone the object before modifying it.
const testObj = {
a: 1,
b: {
c: 2,
d: {
e: 3,
f: {
g: 4
}
}
}
};
const newObject = object => {
const clonedObj = { ...object };
const entries = Object.entries(clonedObj);
entries.forEach(([key, value]) => {
if (typeof value === "object") {
clonedObj[key] = newObject(value);
} else {
clonedObj[key] = value + " a";
}
});
return clonedObj;
};
console.log(newObject(testObj));
console.log(testObj); // prove that the original object hasn't changed

Here's a simple recursive technique. It is similar to Nina's but it preserves arrays, if present in the structure.
If the input, t, is an array, create a new array by traversing each array value, v, with the traversing function, f
(inductive) Otherwise t is not an array. If t is an object, create a new object from key value pairs, [ k, v ], by traversing each value, v, with the traversing function, f
(inductive) Otherwise t is not an array and t is not an object. This means t is either a primitive value, such as string, number, or null
Numbered comments below correspond to the explanation above -
const identity = x =>
x
const traverse = (f = identity, t = {}) =>
Array.isArray(t) // 1
? Array.from(t, v => traverse(f, v))
: Object(t) === t // 2
? Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(t).map(([ k, v ]) => [ k, traverse(f, v) ]))
: f (t) // 3
const input =
{ a: [ 1, 11, 111 ], b: { c: 2, d: { e: [ 3, { f: { g: 4 } } ] } } }
const output =
traverse(x => `${x} a`, input)
console.log(output)

Here is a solution using object-scan. It works by building the solution at the same time as the input is traversed.
// const objectScan = require('object-scan');
const testObj = { a: 1, b: { c: 2, d: { e: 3, f: { g: 4 } } } };
const cloneAndModify = (obj) => objectScan(['**'], {
breakFn: ({ property, value, isLeaf, context }) => {
if (property === undefined) {
return;
}
const ref = context[context.length - 1];
if (!(property in ref)) {
ref[property] = isLeaf ? `${value} a` : {};
}
context.push(ref[property]);
},
filterFn: ({ context }) => {
context.pop();
}
})(obj, [{}])[0];
const r = cloneAndModify(testObj);
console.log(r);
// => { b: { d: { f: { g: '4 a' }, e: '3 a' }, c: '2 a' }, a: '1 a' }

Inclusive mixin with JS [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to deep merge instead of shallow merge?
(47 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
So I want to prevent overriding shared keys, when doing a mixin with JS, so we have:
const v = {
a: {
b: {
c: 4,
d: 'str'
}
}
};
console.log(Object.assign({}, v, {a: {b: {c: 5}}}));
this will log:
{ a: { b: { c: 5 } } }
but I am looking for this instead:
{ a: { b: { c: 5, d: 'str' } } }
anyone know how to do this (preferably without a library).

A fairly naïve solution which cannot handle cycles:
const mixin = (a, b) => {
for (let [key, val] of Object.entries(b)) {
if (typeof val !== 'object') {
a[key] = b[key];
continue;
}
if (val === null) {
a[key] = b[key];
continue;
}
if (!a.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
a[key] = b[key];
continue;
}
mixin(a[key], b[key]);
}
return a;
};
const mixinInclusive = (...v) => {
return v.reduce(mixin, {});
};
console.log(mixinInclusive(v, {a: {b: {c: 5}}}));
