I have this array
switched = {"Restaurant":1,"Hotel":2,"Beauty shop":3,"Physiotherapist":4,"Dentist":5,"Bar":6,"Coffee shop":7}
and this object
result = [{"Google Place URL":"http://www.restaurant.com","Business Type":"Restaurant"},{"Google Place URL":"http://www.hotel.com","Business Type":"Hotel"}]
I want to validate if every item of the result contains words of switched
also, I'm already working with a for that returns each item separately
item[csvBusinessType] = Restaurant
how can I validate if item[csvBusinessType] is included in switched?
I have tried with
let n = switched.includes(item[csvBusinessType]);
but I get Uncaught TypeError: switched.includes is not a function
There is not good native method for this. Better to use lodash library https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash
Here is an example
const _ = require('lodash');
console.log( _.includes(switched, item[csvBusinessType]));
I converted the object to string and used includes, I don't know if it will be the best way, but I think it is the most supported by browsers
let businessListArray = JSON.stringify(switched);
let checkBusiness = businessListArray.includes(item[csvBusinessType]);
I want to validate if every item of the result contains words of switched
If you want to validate that every item of the result object array contains words of the switched array, you should look into JS Array methods and working with Objects, just as #Andreas suggested.
In this specific case, your switched object has keys that appear to match the csvBusinessType of your item objects. This is helpful as we can use Object.keys() to grab all the keys of your switched object as an array of strings.
const businessTypes = Object.keys(switched) // = ["Restaurant","Hotel","Beauty shop","Physiotherapist","Dentist","Bar","Coffee shop"]
Now that we have grabbed the keys that you want to check against, we can use the JS Array method every() to perform a test against every object in your result object array. In this case, we will be testing that the obect's Business Type is included in our newly created businessTypes array.
const resultsValid = result.every((resultObject) => businessTypes.includes(resultObject["Business Type"]));
resultsValid is a boolean that is true if all objects in result had a Business type that matched one of the keys of your switched object.
NOTE: You may want to check Letter Casing before some of these comparisons unless you want to explicitly match only exact matches ("Beauty shop" will NOT match "Beauty Shop" for example).

I have the mapping of abbreviation and full name as follow:
object = {"TSLA":"TESLA INC.","GOOG":"GOOGLE INC.","APPL":"APPLE INC.","AMZN":"AMAZON CORPORATION", "MSFT":"MICROSOFT CORPORATION"}
as an output of function i get the following array:
array = ["AMZN","APPL"]
I want to display the values of the associated keys as follows:
output_array = ["AMAZON CORPORATION", "APPLE INC."]
Note that, the actual object has more key: value pairs
Using IndexOf() I can replace one value. However, I believe there must be a way of mapping the array elements to replace the values at once.
Since I am new to JS, I would appreciate any suggestion.
array.map(abbr => object[abbr]) does the job; it iterates over the array rather than the object, which is more efficient as the object already is a lookup table with the right keys - you are right, there is no need to use indexOf which uses a linear search.
I've been struggling with this issue so I thought I'd come here to find the fix. I'm trying to filter my objects that are in an array to only show the ones that have for example "h" in them.
This is how my array of objects is being constructed:
Object.keys(data.jello).forEach(function (id, SomeSearchValue) {
var jello = data.jello[id];
array.push({
id: jello.id,
name: jello.name,
type: 'foo',
});
}
For example, let's say my array consists of this for names.
array[blue, red, green, apple, abigail, alien]
So, I have an array of objects. In a search bar I type "a" and my array results are then all objects that have a letter 'a' in the name. so...
array[abigail, alien]
Then i type a "b" so my search is now "ab" and my array is ...
array[abigail]
So what would my code to implement this using jQuery?
The part I'm stuck on most is the actual searching as the user types without using ajax.
I'm using jQuery. Ive tried things like jQuery.grep(), inArray() but cant seem to search includes. I've also tried array.includes(). Thanks for the help!
Use Array#filter().
jQuery $.grep() is basically the same thing but also works on jQuery objects.
Following assumes you only want to search within name property and will accept the term found in any part of the name rather than just at beginning
const data = [{name:'blue'}, {name:'red'}, {name:'green'}, {name:'apple'}, {name:'abigail'}, {name:'alien'}];
const term ='ab';
const filtered = data.filter(({name}) => name.toLowerCase().includes(term.toLowerCase()))
// or use startsWith() to only match beginning of string
console.log(filtered)
I have a React application which handles rooms and their statistics.
Previously, I had the code set up to pass as props to the next component:
the raw statistics (not a concern for the question)
an array of all the rooms set up as follows
I figured it would be simpler for me, though, to have the list of all rooms as an associative array where the keys of each element is the same as the ID it contains. To do that, I utilized a code similar to this in a for loop:
roomsList[rooms[v].ID] = rooms[v];
So that the result would be:
[a001: {...}, a002: {...}, ...]
I then proceeded to pass this style of array, and not the standard one with a numeric index, as a prop to the next component as such:
<StatsBreakdown stats={computedStats.current} roomsList={roomsList} />
BUT
Now, the next component sees that prop as an empty array.
Even more weirdly, if I initialize that roomsList array with a random value [0] and then do the same process, I end up with:
I cannot cycle through the array with .map, and, according to JS, the length is actually 0, it's not only Google Chrome.
Is there something I'm missing about the way JSX, JS or React work?
Your original roomsList was an array of objects, whose indices were 0,1,2 etc. roomsList[rooms[v].ID] = rooms[v]; implies you are inserting elements not using a number but an alphanumeric string. Hence your resulting array is no longer an array but an object.
So we can cycle over the object using Object.keys().
const renderRoomDets = Object.keys(roomsList).map(room => {
roomOwner = roomsList[room].owner_id;
return (
<div>
<p>{`Room Owner ${roomOwner}`}</p>
</div>
);
});
But I believe your original form is ideal, because you are reaping no special benefits from this notation.
A better alternative maybe using .find() or .findIndex() if you want iterate over an array based on a specific property.
const matchedRoom = roomsList.find(room => room.ID === 'Srf4323')
Iterate the new array using its keys not indexes.
Or even better store your data in an actual object instead of an array since you're using strings for ids.
First define your object like so:
let data = {};
Then start adding records to it. I'd suggest deleting the ID attribute of the object since you're storing it in the key of your record, it's redundant, and it won't go anywhere unless u delete the entry.
data[ID] = row;
To delete the ID attribute (optional):
row.ID = null;
delete row.ID;
Then iterate through it using
for(let key in data){}
I'm calling an external service and I get the returned domain object like this:
var domainObject = responseObject.json();
This converts the response object into a js object. I can then easily access a property on this object like this
var users = domainObject.Users
Users is a collection of key/value pairs like this:
1: "Bob Smith"
2: "Jane Doe"
3: "Bill Jones"
But CDT shows users as Object type and users[0] returns undefined. So how can I get a handle to the first item in the collection? I'm assuming that some type of type cast is needed but not sure how I should go about doing this
UPDATE
Here is one way I could access the values:
//get first user key
Object.keys(responseObject.json().Users)[0]
//get first user value
Object.values(responseObject.json().Users)[0]
But I need to databind through ng2 so I was hoping for a simpler way like this:
<div>
<div *ngFor="let user of users">
User Name: {{user.value}}
<br>
</div>
</div>
Maybe I should just create a conversion function in my ng2 component which converts the object into what I need before setting the databinding variable?
UPDATED ANSWER
So after scouring through a few docs I found the "newish" Object.entries() javascript function. You can read about it here. Pretty cool.
Anyways, give this a try. I am ashamed to say that I don't have time to test it, but it should get you going in the right direction.
usersArray = []
// Turn Users object into array of [key, value] sub arrays.
userPairs = Object.entries(users);
// Add the users back into an array in the original order.
for (i=0; i < userPairs; i++) {
usersArray.push(_.find(userPairs, function(userPair) { return userPair[0] == i }))
}
ORIGINAL ANSWER
I would use either underscore.js or lodash to do this. Both are super helpful libraries in terms of dealing with data structures and keeping code to a minimum. I would personally use the _.values function in lodash. Read more about it here.. Then you could use users[0] to retrieve the first item.
The only caveat to this is that lodash doesn't guarantee the iteration sequence will be the same as it is when the object is passed in.
users = _.values(users);
console.log(users[0]);
How about this:
let user= this.users.find(() => true)
This should return the "first" one.
If your initial object is just a plain object, how do you know it is sorted. Property members are not sorted, ie: looping order is nor guaranteed. I´d extract the user names into an array and the sort that array by the second word. This should work (as long as surnames are the second word, and only single spaces are used as separators).
var l=[];
for(var x in users) {
push.l(users[x]);
}
var l1=l.sort ( (a,b) => return a.split(" ")[1]<b.split(" ")[1]);
Say I have:
var Certificated = {}
Sub items are added dynamically and variate. Possible outcome:
var Certificated = {
Elementary: ["foo","bar", "ball"]
MiddleSchool: ["bar", "crampapydime"]
};
I want to do the following:
Certificated.Elementary = Certificated.Elementary.join("");
Except I need it to do that on all of the objects inside.
Keep in mind I can't know for sure the titles of nor how many objects will be inside Certificated.
My question is how can I use .join("") on all elements inside Certificated, without calling each one specifically?
EDIT: I am aware .join() is for arrays and the objects inside Certificated are going to be arrays. Therefore the join method.
Does this work?
for (var key in Certificated) {
if (Certificated.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
Certificated[key] = Certificated[key].join("");
}
}
It loops through all properties of Certificated, and makes a quick safe check for the key being a real property, then uses bracket notation - [""] - to do your join.
Quick question - are you sure you want to use join? I know you just provided an example, but you can't call join on a string...it's for arrays. Just wanted to make sure you knew.
Here's a jsFiddle of my code working with arrays being used for the properties:
http://jsfiddle.net/v48dL/
Notice in the browser console, the properties' values are strings because the join combined them with "".
