I need to compare and manipulate JSON objects.
First object
let data1 = {
"id": "111",
"entity_id": "222",
"text_id": "333",
"details": [{
"value": 1000,
"comp_id": "444",
"CompName": "driving"
}]
}
Second object
let data2 = [{
"id": "111",
"text_id": "333",
"criteria_type": "TXT",
"value": 1000,
"comp": {
"id": "444",
"name": "driving"
}
}, {
"id": "222",
"text_id": "444",
"criteria_type": "TXT",
"value": 2000,
"comp": {
"id": "555",
"name": "swiming"
}
}]
There are 2 objects data1 and data2. Here, I need to compare the data1.details array with the data2 array key => data1.details.comp_id with data2.comp.id if not match then I need to push value, id and name to data1 object. Please help me to resolve this issue.
Resulting object
data1 will be:
{
"id": "111",
"entity_id": "222",
"text_id": "333",
"declaration_details": [{
"value": 1000,
"comp_id": "444",
"CompName": "driving",
}, {
"value": 2000,
"comp_id": "555",
"CompName": "swiming",
}]
}

Based on your expected result, wouldn't you just need to map data2 to the declaration_details of the resulting object?
const main = () => {
const { details, ...rest } = data1;
const result = {
...rest,
fbp_year: new Date().getUTCFullYear(),
declaration_details: data2.map(({
value,
comp: {
id: comp_id,
name: CompName
}
}) => ({
value,
comp_id,
CompName
}))
};
console.log(result);
};
const
data1 = {
"id": "111",
"entity_id": "222",
"text_id": "333",
"details": [{
"value": 1000,
"comp_id": "444",
"CompName": "driving"
}]
},
data2 = [{
"id": "111",
"text_id": "333",
"criteria_type": "TXT",
"value": 1000,
"comp": {
"id": "444",
"name": "driving"
}
}, {
"id": "222",
"text_id": "444",
"criteria_type": "TXT",
"value": 2000,
"comp": {
"id": "555",
"name": "swiming"
}
}];
main();
.as-console-wrapper { top: 0; max-height: 100% !important; }

Use filter() to find objects in the data2 matching comp.id. Then you can just use map() to create a new array. Finally, you can add the mappedData2 array to the data1 in declaration_details.
let filteredData2 = data2.filter(item => {
return data1.details.some(detail => detail.comp_id === item.comp.id);
});
let mapData = filteredData2.map(item => {
return {
value: item.value,
comp_id: item.comp.id,
CompName: item.comp.name
};
});

You can use JSON.stringify(yourJsonObject) to convert your objects to strings.
Then you can compare them like this. areEqual = string1 == string2. Make sure the object properties are in the same order for both objects.

JSON parsing in React JS for side menu

I have a following JSON Structure which I need to parse in React to build a side menu for an app.
var a = [
{"name":"John",
"subMenus":[{"First":[{"name":"Vulnerability","to":"/johnvulner"},
{"name":"Open Roles","to":"/johnopenRoles"}
]},
{"Second":[{"name":"Some People","to":"/johnpeople"},
{"name":"Another People","to":"/johnanotherpeople"}
]}],
},
{"name":"Sarah",
"subMenus":[{"First":[{"name":"Vulnerability","to":"/sarahvulner"},
{"name":"Open Roles","to":"/sarahopenRoles"}
]},
{"Second":[{"name":"Some People","to":"/sarahsomepeople"},
{"name":"Another People","to":"/sarahanotherpeople"}
]}],
}];
The output needed for the nested side menu should be as follows -
John
First
Vulnerability
Open Roles
Second
Some People
Another People
Sarah
First
Vulnerability
Open Roles
Second
Some People
Another People
Is there a simple way using array.map function to achieve this since I am building this menu inside an HTML div.

You can create it very easily by using the following code
let a = [{
"name": "John",
"subMenus": [{
"First": [{
"name": "Vulnerability",
"to": "/johnvulner"
},
{
"name": "Open Roles",
"to": "/johnopenRoles"
}
]
},
{
"Second": [{
"name": "Some People",
"to": "/johnpeople"
},
{
"name": "Another People",
"to": "/johnanotherpeople"
}
]
}
],
},
{
"name": "Sarah",
"subMenus": [{
"First": [{
"name": "Vulnerability",
"to": "/sarahvulner"
},
{
"name": "Open Roles",
"to": "/sarahopenRoles"
}
]
},
{
"Second": [{
"name": "Some People",
"to": "/sarahsomepeople"
},
{
"name": "Another People",
"to": "/sarahanotherpeople"
}
]
}
],
}
];
var menuItems = []
a.map((menu) => {
var submenus = []
menu.subMenus.map((submenu) => {
let keys = Object.keys(submenu);
keys.map( key => {
var keyValues=[]
if (submenu[key]){
submenu[key].map((item) => {
keyValues.push(item.name)
})
submenus.push({
[key]: keyValues
})
}
})
})
let thekey=menu.name
menuItems.push({
[thekey]: submenus
})
})
console.log(menuItems)
Update: Code updated for a any key fetch..

Replacing Data in Array

I am working on an angular application. I have an array as follows:
[{
"Name": "Andy"
},
{
"Name": "Bayer"
},
{
"Name": "James"
},
{
"Name": "Doda"
}]
I have another array which containes data as follows:
[
{
"Name": "Andy",
"Id": "1",
"Time": "2020-06-19T11:02+00:00"
},
{
"Name": "Billy",
"Id": "2",
"Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00"
},
{
"Name": "Ciena",
"Id": 5
"Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00"
},
{
"Name": "Doda",
"Id": "4",
"Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00"
}
]
I want a resultant array such that code should check if Name is present in first array, then it should copy data from second array for that Name and push it in resultant array. For example common name between above two array is Andy and Doda, so data from Andy and Doda should be pushed to resultant array as follows:
[{
"Name": "Andy",
"Id": "1",
"Time": "2020-06-19T11:02+00:00"
},
{
"Name": "Bayer"
},
{
"Name": "James"
},
{
"Name": "Doda",
"Id": "4",
"Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00"
}]
At run time I may get many names so code should be generic. I was trying following code which I got over stackoverflow itself
this.newArray = _.map(this.resultantArray, item => {
const value = _.find(this.dataArray, ['Name', item]);
const obj = value ? value : {Name: item};
return obj;
});
But this code is not working as expected as it works fine for the first time but when data comes for second time it appends data to previous data. I want array to be populated again freshly every time I send data. Please help

You can do this with vanilla JS no need for lodash. You can first map it and inside that you can find the value from second array otherwise return the current object:
var arrayTwo = [ { "Name": "Andy", "Id": "1", "Time": "2020-06-19T11:02+00:00" }, { "Name": "Billy", "Id": "2", "Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00" }, { "Name": "Ciena", "Id": "5", "Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00" }, { "Name": "Doda", "Id": "4", "Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00" } ];
var arrayOne = [{ "Name": "Andy"}, { "Name": "Bayer"}, { "Name": "James"}, { "Name": "Doda"}];
var result = arrayOne.map(val=>arrayTwo.find(p=>p.Name==val.Name) || val);
console.log(result);

Suppose first array name is First
First : any [] = [{"Name": "Andy"},{"Name": "Bayer"},{ "Name": "James"},{"Name": "Doda"}]
And Second array name is Second
Second : any[] = [{"Name": "Andy","Id": "1","Time": "2020-06-19T11:02+00:00"},{"Name": "Bayer"},{"Name": "James"},{"Name": "Doda","Id": "4","Time": "2020-06-19T11:05+00:00"}]
Now do looping and check each name of first if its exists in second copy from second and push in result array
result : any[] =[];
this.First.forEach((element) => {
let index = this.Second.findIndex((x) => element.Name== x.Name);
if (index > -1) {
let data = {
this.Second[index].Name,
this.Second[index].Id,
this.Second[index].time,
};
this.result.push(data);
}
}

Most performant way to sort a deeply nested array of objects by another deeply nested array of objects

As an example - I've included a one element array that contains an object that has a Children key, which is an array of objects and each object also has its' own Children key that contains another array.
[
{
"Id": "1",
"Children": [
{
"Id": "2",
"Children": [
{
"Id": "10",
"DisplayName": "3-4",
},
{
"Id": "1000",
"DisplayName": "5-6",
},
{
"Id": "100",
"DisplayName": "1-2",
},
]
}
]
}
]
There is a second array of objects that I would like to compare the first array of objects to, with the intention of making sure that the first array is in the same order as the second array of objects, and if it is not - then sort until it is.
Here is the second array:
[
{
"Id": "1",
"Children": [
{
"Id": "2",
"Children": [
{
"Id": "100",
"DisplayName": "1-2",
},
{
"Id": "10",
"DisplayName": "3-4",
},
{
"Id": "1000",
"DisplayName": "5-6",
},
]
}
]
}
]
The data that this will run on can be up in the tens of thousands - so performance is paramount.
What I'm currently attempting is using a utility method to convert each element of the second array into a keyed object of objects e.g.
{
1: {
"Id": "1",
"Children": [
{
"Id": "2",
"Children": [
{
"Id": "4",
"DisplayName": "3-4",
},
{
"Id": "3",
"DisplayName": "1-2",
},
]
}
]
}
}
This allows fast look up from the top level. I'm wondering if I should continue doing this all the way down or if there is an idiomatic way to accomplish this. I considered recursion as well.
The order of the already sorted array is not based on Id - it is arbitrary. So the order needs to be preserved regardless.

Assuming same depth and all Id's exist in each level of each object use a recursive function that matches using Array#findIndex() in sort callback
function sortChildren(main, other) {
other.forEach((o, i) => {
if (o.children) {
const mChilds = main[i].children, oChilds = o.children;
oChilds.sort((a, b) => {
return mChilds.findIndex(main => main.Id === a.Id) - mChilds.findIndex(main => main.Id === b.Id)
});
// call function again on this level passing appropriate children arrays in
sortChildren(mChilds, oChilds)
}
})
}
sortChildren(data, newData);
console.log(JSON.stringify(newData, null, ' '))
<script>
var data = [{
"Id": "1",
"Children": [{
"Id": "2",
"Children": [{
"Id": "3",
"DisplayName": "1-2",
},
{
"Id": "4",
"DisplayName": "3-4",
},
]
}]
}]
var newData = [{
"Id": "1",
"Children": [{
"Id": "2",
"Children": [{
"Id": "4",
"DisplayName": "3-4",
},
{
"Id": "3",
"DisplayName": "1-2",
},
]
}]
}]
</script>

Working With Dynamic Multidimensional key-value pairs in JSON

Having a thorny problem and only see similar but also simpler solutions on SO.
Is is possible to generate a dynamic key AND dynamic values using JS/JSON?
For instance, let's say I have JSON like this:
{
"email": "user#someco.com",
"firstname": "Bob",
"lastname": "Smith",
"company": "ACME",
"custom": {
"services": [
{
"name": "svc1",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "true",
"status": "None"
},
{
"name": "svc2",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "true",
"status": "None"
},
{
"name": "svc3",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "false",
"status": "None"
},
{
"name": "svc4",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "false",
"status": "None"
}
],
"fields": [
{
"name": "Products",
"desc": "abcdef",
"type": "multi",
"values": [
{
"name": "Product1",
"desc": "abcdef"
},
{
"name": "Product2",
"desc": "abcdef"
}
],
"services": [
"svc1",
"svc2",
"svc3"
]
},
{
"name": "Wines",
"desc": "abcdef",
"type": "multi",
"values": [
{
"name": "Wine 1",
"desc": "abcdef"
}
],
"services": [
"svc4"
]
},
{
"name": "Fruits",
"desc": "abcdef",
"type": "multi",
"values": [
{
"name": "Fruit 1",
"desc": "abcdef"
},
{
"name": "Fruit 2",
"desc": "abcdef"
}
],
"services": [
"svc4"
]
}
]
}
};
I need to go into the fields and for each field (products, wines, fruits) see if a given service is contained within so that I can go back and generate a product or wine or fruit for each service that requires it. But I don't want to repeat the services names more than once. The resulting JSON should look something like this:
{"svc1":["Products"], "svc2":["Products"], "svc3":["Products"], "svc4":["Fruits", "Wines"]}
The hope would be that to generate a dynamic list in Angular I can just turn and loop back through this JSON, pulling out the values for each product, fruit, wine, whatever.
I've been trying a lot of nested for loops and the like but whenever I get more than one layer down the dynamism seems to stop. I'm guessing that for this to work I need to move between JS Objects and JSON?
Right now I'm trying something like this, which isn't quite working, stringify or no. And maybe I'm flip-flopping too much between JSON and JS Objects:
var outObj = [];
var fieldItems;
$.each(jsonObj.custom.fields, function(key, item) {
fieldItems = item;
fieldItems.name = item.name;
$.each(fieldItems.services, function(key, item) {
var serviceName = item;
//check to see if the serviceName already exists
if (outObj.indexOf(serviceName) > -1) {
outObj.serviceName.push(fieldItems.name);
} else {
outObj.push(serviceName);
}
});
});
JSON.stringify(outObj);
console.log("outObj " + outObj);
I get "can't read property 'push' of undefined" errors and the like. Seems this should be possible from a single nested loop, but maybe I need to just do two passes? Any other suggestions?

To me it sounds like overcomplicated solution. You can use basic array methods of javascript to filter out required structure. I am not sure what profiling_value in the presented snippet, so I started from the object structure in OP
var desiredResult = jsonObj.custom.services.reduce(function(result, service){
result[service.name] = jsonObj.custom.fields.filter(function(field){
return field.services.indexOf(service.name) >= 0;
}).map(function(field){ return field.name; });
return result;
}, {});
This gives the expected result for mentioned object.
reduce is required to iterate over all services and accumulate result in one object. Then for each service fields are iterated to filter out only those that contain link to this service. And finally list of filtered fields is transformed (map) into list of strings - their names - and inserted into accumulator
