how do I check if a value is in a JSON return or not?

I'm writing a test in postman where I want to check if a JSON return contains the Label called 'RegressieMapTest'. This is my script:
pm.test("Is the folder created correctly?", function(){
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
var objString = JSON.stringify(jsonData);
var obj = JSON.parse(objString);
for (var i = 0; i < obj.Corsa.Data.length; i++){
if (obj.Corsa.Data[i].Label == "RegressieMapTest"){
console.log(obj.Corsa.Data[i].Label);
pm.expect(obj.Corsa.Data.Label).to.eql("RegressieMapTest");
}
}
pm.expect.fail();
})
But it doesn't quite work, every time I run this script it seems like it automatically jumps to pm.expect.fail() which is weird because 'RegressieMapTest' is inside the JSON return. Postman returns the following message:
Is the folder created correctly? | AssertionError: expect.fail()

pm.respose.json() is equalent to JSON.parse you don't have to do it again
also you can use array.find method instead of looping through it
pm.test("Is the folder created correctly?", function () {
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.expect(obj.Corsa.Data.find(elem => elem.Label === "RegressieMapTest")).to.be.not.undefined
}
if array has any element with label RegressieMapTest then it will return that data elese returns undefined, so we are validating that it will not return undefined. Meaning it has the value

Your pm.expect.fail(); always runs. You want it to run only when you don't find the field. So just add a flag in your check block.
pm.test("Is the folder created correctly?", function(){
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
var objString = JSON.stringify(jsonData);
var obj = JSON.parse(objString);
var isFound = false;
for (var i = 0; i < obj.Corsa.Data.length; i++){
if (obj.Corsa.Data[i].Label == "RegressieMapTest"){
console.log(obj.Corsa.Data[i].Label);
pm.expect(obj.Corsa.Data.Label).to.eql("RegressieMapTest");
isFound = true;
}
}
if (!isFound) {
pm.expect.fail();
}
})

Pass array values as parameter to function and create json data

I have a scenario where I am passing an array of objects to a function in nodejs, but the same is failing with undefined error.
Here is what I have tried :
var object = issues.issues //json data
var outarr=[];
for(var key in object){
outarr.push(object[key].key)
}
console.log(outarr) // array is formed like this : ['a','b','c','d','e']
for(var i =0; i<outarr.length;i++){
jira.findIssue(outarr[i]) //here I am trying to pass the array objects into the loop one by one
.then(function(issue) {
var issue_number = issue.key
var ape = issue.fields.customfield_11442[0].value
var description = issue.fields.summary
var ice = issue.fields.customfield_15890[0].value
var vice = issue.fields.customfield_15891.value
var sor = issue.fields.labels
if (sor.indexOf("testcng") > -1) {
var val = 'yes'
} else {
var val = 'yes'
}
var obj = {};
obj['ape_n'] = ape;
obj['description_n'] = description;
obj['ice_n'] = ice;
obj['vice_n'] = vice;
obj['sor_n'] = val;
var out = {}
var key = item;
out[key] = [];
out[key].push(obj);
console.log(out)
} })
.catch(function(err) {
console.error(err);
});
});
What I am trying to achieve : I want to pass the array values as a parameter which is required by jira.findissue(bassically passing the issue number) one by one and which should again fetch the values and give a combine json output.
How can I pass this array values one by one in this function and also run jira.findissue in loop.
Any help will be great !! :-)

I have taken a look at the code in your question.
To be honest the code you wrote is messy and contains some simple syntax errors.
A good tip is to use a linter to avoid those mistakes.
More info about linters here: https://www.codereadability.com/what-are-javascript-linters/
To output all results in one array you have to define the array outside the scope of the loop.
I cleaned the code a bit up and use some es6 features. I don't know the context of the code but this is what I can make off it:
//map every value the key to outarr
let outarr = issues.issues.map( elm => elm.key);
//Output defined outside the scope of the loop
let output = [];
//looping outarr
outarr.forEach( el => {
jira.findIssue(el).then(issue => {
//creating the issue object
let obj = {
ape_n: issue.fields.customfield_11442[0].value,
description_n: issue.fields.summary,
ice_n: issue.fields.customfield_15890[0].value,
vice_n: issue.fields.customfield_15891.value,
sor_n: issue.fields.labels.indexOf("testcng") > -1 ? "yes" : "yes",
};
//pushing to the output
output[issue.key] = obj;
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
});
//ouputing the output
console.log(output);

Multiple api calls using AngularJS

I am fairly new to AngularJS and I am practising below exercise with requirement
1.Using the API to get 20 posts and display them on the page along with the user’s
name who created the post and display them on the page.
For this exercise I am using https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/ as the data source.
I need to do 2 api calls in same controller
To get list of 20 posts which has userid in it(https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts)
Based on the above user Id I need to get username (https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/userId)
Please see my work done in plnkr, I am able to display Post but not username.
Script.js
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
$http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts").then(function(response) {
$scope.data = response.data;
var postList = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
var display = {
UserName: $http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/" + $scope.data[i].userId).then(function(response) {
$scope.user = response.data;
}),
Post: $scope.data[i].title
}
postList.push(display);
}
$scope.list = postList;
});
});
Index.html
<div ng-repeat="x in list">
Post:{{ x.Post }}
UserName:{{x.UserName}}
</div>

I believe this area is wrong:
.then(function(response) {
$scope.data = response.data;
var postList = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
var display = {
UserName: $http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/"+$scope.data[i].userId).then(function(response){
$scope.user = response.data;
}),
Post: $scope.data[i].title
}
postList.push(display);
}
$scope.list = postList;
});
where you stored a Promise object in your UserName property and produced unexpected result.
to correct this assign the postList after the request has finished:
.then(function(response) {
$scope.data = response.data;
var postList = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
$http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/"+$scope.data[i].userId).then(function(response){
$scope.user = response.data;
var display = {
UserName: "",
Post: $scope.data[i].title
};
$scope.list.push(display);
});
}
$scope.list = postList;
});
Once you implemented this you will encounter a new problem:
since you called $http.get() in a loop and actually used the variable i inside .then() by the time .then() executes the value of i is already in its final form which is i = 20 | data.length which every .then() calls will receive.
in order to overcome this problem the best way I know is to format the entire data first before displaying it:
$http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts")
.then(function(response)
{
var data = response.data;
var postList = [];
// this will check if formatting is done.
var cleared = 0;
// create a function that checks if data mapping is done.
var allClear = function () {
if (postList.length == cleared)
{
// display the formatted data
$scope.list = postList;
}
};
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
{
// create a object that stores the necessary data;
var obj = {
// the ID will be needed to store name;
ID: data[i].userId,
Post: data[i].title,
UserName: ""
};
var url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/" + obj.userId;
$http.get(url).then(function(response)
{
// find its entry in the array and add UserName;
postList.forEach(function (item)
{
if (item.ID == response.userId)
{
// just add the correct key, but I will assume it is `userName`
item.UserName = response.userName;
// break the loop
return item;
}
});
// increment cleared
cleared++;
// call allClear
allClear();
});
postList.push(obj);
}
}
);
in this way we are sure that the data is complete before displaying it in the view.
as this solution contains a loop to map the result with its original object, we can actually change postList as an object to make it a bit faster:
// var postList = [];
var postList = {};
// instead of pushing we will use the ID as key
// postList.push(obj);
postList[obj.ID] = obj;
and so in this section:
$http.get(url).then(function(response)
{
// instead of looking for the item in .forEach
postList[response.userId].userName = response.userName;
// increment cleared
cleared++;
// call allClear
allClear();
});
hope that helps.

The easy solution would be to add the username to the user object and then push it to the scope list when the promise is resolved
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
$http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts").then(function(response) {
$scope.data = response.data;
$scope.list = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
$http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/" + $scope.data[i].userId)
.then(function(response) {
var user = {
UserName: response.data.username,
Post: $scope.data[i].title
}
$scope.list.push(user);
});
}
});
});

AngularJS Smart Table filtering special characters with a space when displaying all rows

I am running a few tables that use the pipe/ajax section of the code with the controller/service setup. https://lorenzofox3.github.io/smart-table-website/#section-pipe
One of the issues I am coming across is when there are special characters in the values with a space in it and it is unable to filter it. For example, if there was a lastname of "last-name firstname" it is unable to filter the data but it is able to filter the name "last-name" and it is able to do "lastname firstname" just fine.
Could I get some help on figuring out why this might not be able to filter correctly?
Thank You!
Edit: I noticed I forgot to add the filter.
app.filter('propsFilter', function() {
return function(items, props) {
var out = [];
if (angular.isArray(items)) {
var keys = Object.keys(props);
items.forEach(function(item) {
var itemMatches = false;
for (var i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
var prop = keys[i];
var text = props[prop].toLowerCase();
if (item[prop].toString().toLowerCase().indexOf(text) !== -1) {
itemMatches = true;
break;
}
}
if (itemMatches) {
out.push(item);
}
});
} else {
// Let the output be the input untouched
out = items;
}
return out;
};
});
app.controller('mainCtrl', ['$scope', '$window', 'Resource', function($scope, $window, service) {
var ctrl = this;
this.displayed = [];
$scope.itemsByPage = $window.datatableperPage;
this.callServer = function callServer(tableState) {
ctrl.isLoading = true;
var pagination = tableState.pagination;
var start = pagination.start || 0;
var number = pagination.number || 10;
service.getPage(start, number, tableState).then(function(result) {
ctrl.displayed = result.data;
tableState.pagination.numberOfPages = result.numberOfPages; //set the number of pages so the pagination can update
ctrl.isLoading = false;
});
};
}]);
app.factory('Resource', ['$q', '$filter', '$window', '$http', '$timeout', function($q, $filter, $window, $http, $timeout) {
var nameData = [];
$http.get($window.datatableSource).success(function(response) {
nameData = response;
});
function getPage(start, number, params) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
var filtered = params.search.predicateObject ? $filter('filter')(nameData, params.search.predicateObject) : nameData;
if (params.sort.predicate) {
filtered = $filter('orderBy')(filtered, params.sort.predicate, params.sort.reverse);
}
var result = filtered.slice(start, start + number);
$timeout(function() {
//note, the server passes the information about the data set size
deferred.resolve({
data: result,
numberOfPages: Math.ceil(filtered.length / number),
});
}, $window.datatableTimeout);
return deferred.promise;
}
return {
getPage: getPage
};
}]);
Update:
With Hardy's Help I was finally able to replicate the issue.
When setting the
$scope.itemsByPage = -1;
the filtered results seem to vanish after initial couple characters at the slice
result = filtered.slice(start, start + number);
In this example, I added the word "Clinical - " to the beginning of a name and it is unable to search for the word when you start typing the word "Clinical" but other words work just fine.

Okay, I've traced all the functions and the problem in Plunker is in this very line. Try to change the value to any positive integer and you will see that your app works just fine.
$scope.itemsByPage = -1;
The reason you get strange filtering results in some cases is because this very value is used as number later in
var result = filtered.slice(start, start + number);
thus translating to
var result = filtered.slice(0, -1);
.slice(0, -1) returns a shallow copy of the filtered array excluding the last item. And when you only have one filtered result you will recieve an empty array.
Voilà!
Update
As it turns out, the whole reason of using $scope.itemsByPage = -1 was a delusion of the behaviour of the library in that case.
The desired behavior was to "always return all the rows" and it can be easily achieved by using Infinity
$scope.itemsByPage = Infinity
This way we will get
var result = filtered.slice(0, Infinity);
thus getting initial filtered array in the output.

return from JS function

basic JS question, please go easy on me I'm a newb :)
I pass 2 variables to the findRelatedRecords function which queries other related tables and assembles an Array of Objects, called data. Since findRelatedRecords has so many inner functions, I'm having a hard time getting the data Array out of the function.
As it currently is, I call showWin inside findRelatedRecords, but I'd like to change it so that I can get data Array directly out of findRelatedRecords, and not jump to showWin
function findRelatedRecords(features,evtObj){
//first relationship query to find related branches
var selFeat = features
var featObjId = selFeat[0].attributes.OBJECTID_1
var relatedBranch = new esri.tasks.RelationshipQuery();
relatedBranch.outFields = ["*"];
relatedBranch.relationshipId = 1; //fac -to- Branch
relatedBranch.objectIds = [featObjId];
facSel.queryRelatedFeatures(relatedBranch, function(relatedBranches) {
var branchFound = false;
if(relatedBranches.hasOwnProperty(featObjId) == true){
branchFound = true;
var branchSet = relatedBranches[featObjId]
var cmdBranch = dojo.map(branchSet.features, function(feature){
return feature.attributes;
})
}
//regardless of whether a branch is found or not, we have to run the cmdMain relationship query
//the parent is still fac, no advantage of the parent being branch since cmcMain query has to be run regardless
//fac - branch - cmdMain - cmdSub <--sometimes
//fac - cmdMain - cmdSub <-- sometimes
//second relationship query to find related cmdMains
var relatedQuery = new esri.tasks.RelationshipQuery();
relatedQuery.outFields = ["*"];
relatedQuery.relationshipId = 0; //fac -to- cmdMain
relatedQuery.objectIds = [featObjId];
//rather then listen for "OnSelectionComplete" we are using the queryRelatedFeatures callback function
facSel.queryRelatedFeatures(relatedQuery, function(relatedRecords) {
var data = []
//if any cmdMain records were found, relatedRecords object will have a property = to the OBJECTID of the clicked feature
//i.e. if cmdMain records are found, true will be returned; and continue with finding cmdSub records
if(relatedRecords.hasOwnProperty(featObjId) == true){
var fset = relatedRecords[featObjId]
var cmdMain = dojo.map(fset.features, function(feature) {
return feature.attributes;
})
//we need to fill an array with the objectids of the returned cmdMain records
//the length of this list == total number of mainCmd records returned for the clicked facility
objs = []
for (var k in cmdMain){
var o = cmdMain[k];
objs.push(o.OBJECTID)
}
//third relationship query to find records related to cmdMain (cmdSub)
var subQuery = new esri.tasks.RelationshipQuery();
subQuery.outFields = ["*"];
subQuery.relationshipId = 2;
subQuery.objectIds = [objs]
subTbl.queryRelatedFeatures(subQuery, function (subRecords){
//subRecords is an object where each property is the objectid of a cmdMain record
//if a cmdRecord objectid is present in subRecords property, cmdMain has sub records
//we no longer need these objectids, so we'll remove them and put the array into cmdsub
var cmdSub = []
for (id in subRecords){
dojo.forEach(subRecords[id].features, function(rec){
cmdSub.push(rec.attributes)
})
}
var j = cmdSub.length;
var p;
var sub_key;
var obj;
if (branchFound == true){
var p1 = "branch";
obj1 = {};
obj1[p1] = [cmdBranch[0].Branches]
data.push(obj1)
}
for (var i=0, iLen = cmdMain.length; i<iLen; i++) {
p = cmdMain[i].ASGMT_Name
obj = {};
obj[p] = [];
sub_key = cmdMain[i].sub_key;
for (var j=0, jLen=cmdSub.length; j<jLen; j++) {
if (cmdSub[j].sub_key == sub_key) {
obj[p].push(cmdSub[j].Long_Name);
}
}
data.push(obj);
}
showWin(data,evtObj) <---this would go away
})
}
//no returned cmdRecords; cmdData not available
else{
p = "No Data Available"
obj = {}
obj[p] = []
data.push(obj)
}
showWin(data,evtObj) <--this would go away
})
})
}
I'd like to have access to data array simply by calling
function findRelatedRecords(feature,evt){
//code pasted above
}
function newfunct(){
var newData = findRelatedRecords(feature,evt)
console.log(newData)
}
is this possible?
thanks!
Edit
Little more explanation.....
I'm connecting an Object event Listener to a Function like so:
function b (input){
dojo.connect(obj, "onQueryRelatedFeaturesComplete", getData);
obj.queryRelatedFeatures(input);
console.log(arr) //<----this doesn't work
}
function getData(relatedFeatData){
var arr = [];
//populate arr
return arr;
}
So when obj.QueryRelatedFeatures() is complete, getData fires; this part works fine, but how to I access arr from function b ?

Post Edit Update:
Due to the way that this event is being hooked up you can't simple return data from it. Returning will just let Dojo call to the next method that is hooked up to onSelectionComplete.
When init runs it is long before findRelatedRecords will ever be executed/fired by the onSelectionComplete event of the well, which is why you were seeing undefined/null values. The only way to work with this sort of system is to either 1) call off to a method like you're already doing or 2) fire off a custom event/message (technically it's still just calling off to a method).
If you want to make this method easier to work with you should refactor/extract snippets of it to make it a smaller function but contained in many functions. Also, changing it to have only one exit point at the end of the findRelatedRecords method will help. The function defined inside of subTbl.queryRelatedFeatures() would be a great place to start.
Sorry, you're kind of limited by what Dojo gives you in this case.
Pre Edit Answer:
Just return your data out of it. Everywhere where there is a showWin call just use this return.
return {
data: data,
evtObj: evtObj
}
Then your newfunct would look like this.
function newfunct(){
var newData = findRelatedRecords(feature,evt);
console.log(newData);
console.log(newData.data);
console.log(newData.evtObj);
}
If you only need that "data" object, then change your return to just return data;.
Also, start using semicolons to terminate statements.
