access object in parsed nested JSON in Google Apps Script

I am trying to access the student tags array which has an object inside of it (student_tags:tag:"do not contact") Can someone please help me with the syntax on getting this data? I am pretty sure my syntax in retrieving this array is incorrect.

The function returning the JSON response:
var url = "http://api.com/v1/";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
var message = response.getContentText();
var code = response.getResponseCode();
Logger.log(message)
var tags = message["student_tags"][0]
Logger.log(tags)

In response to 'would you know how to use the key/value loop to access the same student tag value ("Do not contact")?', I'm not sure I understand the question, but the below code may be a good place to start. Let me know if I'm way off track...
var tags = message.student_detail.student_tags,
i = 0,
len = tags.length;
for (i; i < len; i++) {
var obj = tags[i];
for (a in obj) {
console.log(a, obj[a])
}
}

How To Loop and Load Section of JSON to New Array

I am getting some dynamic data from Ajax call in JSON format on
var out;
request.done(function( data ) {
out = data;
console.log(out);
});
which looks like

now I need to load the "st_astext":"MULTILINESTRING of each seq to arrays of arry like

[-123.405405, 48.4190178000001],
....
]
];

To accomplish this, you can strip out the "MULTILINE..." portion of your string, and then split that string on a comma to get each set of coordinates. From there, you can split on the space separating the coordinates, and coerce to a Number. Like so:

Add item to array Angular

I have a table with these fields: product, lot, input1, input2. You can clone a line, and you can add a new line.
What I want to do is that for each row you can add a new Lot created by a "number" and by "id" that user write in the input field under the Select lot. And I wanted that the script add the new Lot in the json data and the lot 's option list.
This is the function for add that I tried to do:
$scope.addLot = function() {
var inWhichProduct = row.selectedProduct;
var newArray = {
"number": row.newLot.value,
"id": row.newLot.id
};
for (var i = 0; i < $scope.items.length; i++) {
if ($scope.items[i].selectedProduct === inWhichProduct) {
$scope.items[i].selectedLot.push(newArray);
}
}
};
-->> THIS <<-- is the full code.
Can you help me?

I think your question is a little too broad to answer on Stack Overflow, but here's an attempt:
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
<table>
<tr ng-repeat="lot in lots">
<td>{{ lot.id }}</td>
<td>{{ lot.name }}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>name:</p> <input type="text" ng-model="inputName">
<p>id:</p> <input type="text" ng-model="inputId">
<button ng-click="addLotButton(inputId, inputName)">Add</button>
</div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.5.0-beta.2/angular.min.js"></script>
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.lots = [{
name: "test",
id: 1
},
{
name: "test2",
id: 2
}
];
$scope.addLot = function(lotId, lotName) {
var newLotObject = {
name: lotName,
id: lotId
};
$scope.lots.push(newLotObject);
};
$scope.addLotButton = function(id, name) {
$scope.addLot(id, name);
};
$scope.addLot(3, "Another test");
});
</script>
Basically this code just takes some input and adds an object to the scope for that input. The table is created using an ng-repeat of this data. It's not great code at all but it's just a quick example.

The push method adds newArray to selectedLot array. It's not working on the JSON data but on arrays. If you want to have the JSON, you can give a try to :
var myJsonString = JSON.stringify(yourArray);
It will create a JSON string based on the parameter
Maybe you should try to structure your data to make lots as properties of products.
{
products: [
{id: 1, lots: [{id:1}, {id:2}]},
{id: 2, lots: [{id:1}, {id:2}]}
]
}
To add a lot to a product :
product = products[0];
product.lots.push(newArray);

Change the fallowing:
html:
<button ng-click="addLot(row.selectedProduct.id,row.newLot.value,row.newLot.id)">Add</button>
js:
$scope.addLot = function(id,val,lotId) {
// console.log(id);
var inWhichProduct = id;
var newArray = { "value": val, "id": lotId };
//console.log($scope.items)
angular.forEach($scope.items,function(v,i){
if($scope.items[i].id == id )
{
$scope.items[i].lots.push(newArray);
console.log($scope.items[i].lots);
}
});
};

How can I loop through it to get url of all 4 results objects?
Just trying to understand how data from json is extracted.

Just like you would with any other JavaScript object.
var results = responseData.results;
var i;
for (i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
// Do something with results[i].url
}

check this link.. it says all about parsing json in js:
http://www.json.org/js.html
code:
<script language="javascript">
var k= {"responseData":{
/*** rest of code ****/
},
"responseDetails":null,
"responseStatus":200};
for (i = 0; i < k.responseData.results.length; i++)
{
alert(k.responseData.results[i].url);
}
</script>

Create a nested UL menu based on the URL path structure of menu items

I have an array of menu items, each containing Name and URL like this:
var menuItems = [
{
name : "Store",
url : "/store"
},
{
name : "Travel",
url : "/store/travel"
},
{
name : "Gardening",
url : "/store/gardening"
},
{
name : "Healthy Eating",
url : "/store/healthy-eating"
},
{
name : "Cook Books",
url : "/store/healthy-eating/cook-books"
},
{
name : "Single Meal Gifts",
url : "/store/healthy-eating/single-meal-gifts"
},
{
name : "Outdoor Recreation",
url : "/store/outdoor-recreation"
},
{
name : "Hiking",
url : "/store/outdoor-recreation/hiking"
},
{
name : "Snowshoeing",
url : "/store/outdoor-recreation/hiking/snowshoeing"
},
{
name : "Skiing",
url : "/store/outdoor-recreation/skiing"
},
{
name : "Physical Fitness",
url : "/store/physical-fitness"
},
{
name : "Provident Living",
url : "/store/provident-living"
}
]
I've been trying with no success to render this as an unordered list with a nested UL structure that follows the URL path structure like so:
<ul>
<li>Store
<ul>
<li>Travel</li>
<li>Gardening</li>
<li>Healthy Eating
<ul>
<li>Cook Books</li>
<li>Single Meal Gifts</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Outdoor Recreation
<ul>
<li>Hiking
<ul>
<li>Snowshoeing</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Skiing</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Physical Fitness</li>
<li>Provident Living</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
All of the examples I've seen begin with a data structure that reflects the parent-child relationship (e.g. xml or JSON), but I'm having a very difficult time pulling this out of the URL and using it to render the new structure.
If anyone could please steer me in the right direction for how to do this using jQuery, I'd really appreciate it. I realize I probably need to use some recursive functions or maybe jQuery templates, but these things are still a bit new to me.
Thanks

I think the best solution is firstly to convert your data structure to a tree one, with parent/children relations. Render this structure will then be easier, as the UL itself has a tree structure.
You can convert menuItems using these couple of functions
// Add an item node in the tree, at the right position
function addToTree( node, treeNodes ) {
// Check if the item node should inserted in a subnode
for ( var i=0; i<treeNodes.length; i++ ) {
var treeNode = treeNodes[i];
// "/store/travel".indexOf( '/store/' )
if ( node.url.indexOf( treeNode.url + '/' ) == 0 ) {
addToTree( node, treeNode.children );
// Item node was added, we can quit
return;
}
}
// Item node was not added to a subnode, so it's a sibling of these treeNodes
treeNodes.push({
name: node.name,
url: node.url,
children: []
});
}
//Create the item tree starting from menuItems
function createTree( nodes ) {
var tree = [];
for ( var i=0; i<nodes.length; i++ ) {
var node = nodes[i];
addToTree( node, tree );
}
return tree;
}
var menuItemsTree = createTree( menuItems );
console.log( menuItemsTree );
The resulting menuItemsTree will be an object like this
[
{
"name":"Store",
"url":"/store",
"children":[
{
"name":"Travel",
"url":"/store/travel",
"children":[
]
},
{
"name":"Gardening",
"url":"/store/gardening",
"children":[
]
},
{
"name":"Healthy Eating",
"url":"/store/healthy-eating",
"children":[
{
"name":"Cook Books",
"url":"/store/healthy-eating/cook-books",
"children":[
]
},
{
"name":"Single Meal Gifts",
"url":"/store/healthy-eating/single-meal-gifts",
"children":[
]
}
]
},
{
"name":"Outdoor Recreation",
"url":"/store/outdoor-recreation",
"children":[
{
"name":"Hiking",
"url":"/store/outdoor-recreation/hiking",
"children":[
{
"name":"Snowshoeing",
"url":"/store/outdoor-recreation/hiking/snowshoeing",
"children":[
]
}
]
},
{
"name":"Skiing",
"url":"/store/outdoor-recreation/skiing",
"children":[
]
}
]
},
{
"name":"Physical Fitness",
"url":"/store/physical-fitness",
"children":[
]
},
{
"name":"Provident Living",
"url":"/store/provident-living",
"children":[

}
]
}
]
You mentioned you already have html renderer for trees, right? If you need further help let us know!

12 simple lines of code:
var rootList = $("<ul>").appendTo("body");
var elements = {};
$.each(menuItems, function() {
var parent = elements[this.url.substr(0, this.url.lastIndexOf("/"))];
var list = parent ? parent.next("ul") : rootList;
if (!list.length) {
list = $("<ul>").insertAfter(parent);

var item = $("<li>").appendTo(list);
$("<a>").attr("href", this.url).text(this.name).appendTo(item);
elements[this.url] = item;

Although I like the script of gilly3 the script produces list with different element nesting of <li> and <ul> than was originally asked. So instead of
<li>Store
<ul>
<li>Travel</li>
...
</ul>
</li>
It produces
<li>Store
</li>
<ul>
<li>Travel</li>
...
</ul>
This may cause incompatibilities for utilities or frameworks working with such generated menu and producing interactive menu with animation (e.g. superfish.js).
So I updated the 12 lines script
var rootList = $("<ul>").appendTo("body");
var elements = {};
$.each(menuItems, function() {
var parent = elements[this.url.substr(0, this.url.lastIndexOf("/"))];
var list = parent ? parent.children("ul") : rootList;
if (!list.length) {
list = $("<ul>").appendTo(parent);
}
var item = $("<li>").appendTo(list);
$("<a>").attr("href", this.url).text(this.name).appendTo(item);
elements[this.url] = item;
});

It's not in jQuery, but maybe this could help. I developed this after seeking the web to do exactly what you want.
http://www.chapleau.info/article/ArrayofUrlsToASitemap.html

Or maybe complete jQuery plugin http://jsfiddle.net/9FGRC/
(EDIT)
An update to previous version http://jsfiddle.net/9FGRC/1/
This version supports following case
var menuItems = [
{
name : "Store",
url : "/store"
},
{
name : "Cook Books",
url : "/store/healthy-eating/cook-books"
},
{
name : "Single Meal Gifts",
url : "/store/healthy-eating/single-meal-gifts"
}
]
Since there is skipped
{
name : "Healthy Eating",
url : "/store/healthy-eating"
},
It will produce following html
<ul>
<li>Store
<ul>
<li>Cook Books</li>
<li>Single Meal Gifts</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I guess it won't be the case, but could be helpful to someone

try something like this.
function Directory(parentNode) {
//Structure for directories. Subdirectories container as a generic object, initially empty
this.hasSubdirectories = false;
this.subdirectories = {};
//Render in steps. Until subdirectories or a link are added, all it needs is an LI and a blank anchor
this.nodeLi = document.createElement("li");
parentNode.appendChild(this.nodeLi);
this.nodeA = document.createElement("a");
this.nodeLi.appendChild(this.nodeA);
//if a subdirectory is added, this.nodeUl will be added at the same time.
}
Directory.prototype.setLabel = function (sLabel) {
this.nodeA.innerHTML = sLabel;
}
Directory.prototype.setLink = function (sLink) {
this.nodeA.href = sLink;
}
Directory.prototype.getSubdirectory = function (sPath) {
//if there were no previous subdirectories, the directory needs a new UL node.
if (!this.hasSubdirectories) {
this.nodeUl = document.createElement("ul");
this.nodeLi.appendChild(this.nodeUl);
this.hasSubdirectories = true;
}
//split the path string into the base directory and the rest of the path.
var r = /^\/?(?:((?:\w|\s|\d)+)\/)(.*)$/;
var path = r.exec(sPath);
//if the desired path is in a subdirectory, find or create it in the subdirectories container.
var subDirName = path[1] || path[2];
var subDir;
if (this.subdirectories[subDirName] === undefined) this.subdirectories[subDirName] = new Directory(this.nodeUl);
subDir = this.subdirectories[subDirName];
if (path[1] && path[2]) {
return subDir.getSubdirectory(path[2]);
} else {
return subDir;
}
}
function main(whichNode, aMenuItems) {
//whichNode is the node that is to be the parent of the directory listing.
//aMenuItems is the array of menu items.
var i;
var l = aItems.length;
var topDir = new Directory(whichNode);
//for each menu item, add a directory and set its properties.
var dirToAdd;
for (i = 0; i < l; i++) {
dirToAdd = topDir.getSubdirectory(aMenuItems[i].url);
dirToAdd.setLabel(aMenuItems[i].name);
dirToAdd.setLink(aMenuItems[i].url);
}
//and that's it.
}
how's that work?
