Replicating MySQL array formatting in Javasript

I have 5 mysql tables that i need a variety of data from in several different scripts that all reference each other using an id's located in 1 or more column.
I need to create a master query that replicates the array structure exactly as it was imported from mysql AND ALSO needs error handling for each field before it writes to an array to determine if it needs to write the value to an array, or write it as null.
So far the script is looking like this:
const items = [];
// Items
for (let i = 0; i < gameItems.length; i++) {
if (gameItems[i].id) {
items.push({ id: gameItems[i].id });
} else {
items.push({ id: null });
}
if (gameItems[i].identifier) {
items.push({ identifier: if (gameItemParams[i].custom_name)
{
items.push({ custom_name: gameItemParams[i].custom_name });
}
else {
items.push({ custom_name: null }); }
}
}
The problem, or my lack of ability to figure out the logic on how to execute the code correctly, is that in order to attach multiple fields of data to the same row in an array the values must be comma separated.
Individual pushes like above add data to the next row instead of the same object which renders the array.length properly useless because there is a new row for every single field so instead of having 1 row with 10 pieces of data attached, i would have 10 rows each with 1 piece of data.
Is there a way to perform error handling for each field i need to call from the tables or is there another way to add data to the same object after a row has already been pushed.
This is how the newly created array must be structured:

This is how the array is currently being structured with individual pushes:

Maybe if it is possible to break in the middle of an array.push i can then add error handling in the push block but was unable to find if it can be done.

The problem is that you are pushing an object every time. Instead of that, you need to create an object with all of fields and then push it to the array.
Other problem of your code is that you can use an if statement into a assigment statement. You need to use a conditional operator to do that or extract this conditional from the assigment.
const items = [];
// Items
for (let i = 0; i < gameItems.length; i++) {
var object = {};
if (gameItems[i].id) {
object.id = gameItems[i].id;
}
else {
object.id = null;
}
if (gameItems[i].identifier) {
object.identifier = (gameItemParams[i].custom_name) ? items.push({ custom_name: gameItemParams[i].custom_name }); : items.push({ custom_name: null });
}
items.push(object);
}

As per the data mentioned in https://puu.sh/E7oh7/422541a70d.png.
You have data like
gameItems=[{id:0}, {identifier:"master-ball"}, {category_id:34}, {"custom_name":"Master Ball"}];
I suggest that instead of making items as an array, Please create temporary object item and then push it to items.
let items = [];
let item = {
id:null,
identifier: null,
custom_name: null
};
for (let i = 0; i < gameItems.length; i++) {
if (gameItems[i].id !== undefined) {
item.id = gameItems[i].id;
}
if (gameItems[i].identifier !== undefined) {
item.identifier = gameItems[i].identifier;
}
if (gameItems[i].custom_name !== undefined) {
item.custom_name = gameItems[i].custom_name;
}
}
items.push(item);

Updating the value of an object inside a loop using javascript

I'm currently facing a difficulty in my codes.
First i have an array of objects like this [{Id:1, Name:"AML", allowedToView:"1,2"}, {Id:2, Name:"Res", allowedToView:"1"}...] which came from my service
I assign it in variable $scope.listofResource
Then inside of one of my objects I have that allowedToView key which is a collection of Id's of users that I separate by comma.
Then I have this code...
Javascript
$scope.listofResource = msg.data
for (var i = 0; i < msg.data.length; i++) {
First I run a for loop so I can separate the Id's of every user in allowedToView key
var allowed = msg.data[i].allowedToView.split(",");
var x = [];
Then I create a variable x so I can push a new object to it with a keys of allowedId that basically the Id of the users and resId which is the Id of the resource
for (var a = 0; a < allowed.length; a++) {
x.push({ allowedId: allowed[a], resId: msg.data[i].Id });
}
Then I put it in Promise.all because I have to get the Name of that "allowed users" base on their Id's using a service
Promise.all(x.map(function (prop) {
var d = {
allowedId: parseInt(prop.allowedId)
}
return ResourceService.getAllowedUsers(d).then(function (msg1) {
msg1.data[0].resId = prop.resId;
Here it returns the Id and Name of the allowed user. I have to insert the resId so it can pass to the return object and it will be displayed in .then() below
return msg1.data[0]
});
})).then(function (result) {
I got the result that I want but here is now my problem
angular.forEach(result, function (val) {
angular.forEach($scope.listofResource, function (vv) {
vv.allowedToView1 = [];
if (val.resId === vv.Id) {
vv.allowedToView1.push(val);
I want to update $scope.listofResource.allowedToView1 which should hold an array of objects and it is basically the info of the allowed users. But whenever I push a value here vv.allowedToView1.push(val); It always updates the last object of the array.
}
})
})
});
}
So the result of my code is always like this
[{Id:1, Name:"AML", allowedToView:"1,2", allowedToView:[]}, {Id:2, Name:"Res", allowedToView:"1", allowedToView:[{Id:1, Name:" John Doe"}]}...]
The first result is always blank. Can anyone help me?
Here is the plunker of it... Plunkr

Link to the solution - Plunkr
for (var i = 0; i < msg.length; i++) {
var allowed = msg[i].allowedToView.split(",");
msg[i].allowedToView1 = [];
var x = [];
Like Aleksey Solovey correctly pointed out, the initialization of the allowedToView1 array is happening at the wrong place. It should be shifted to a place where it is called once for the msg. I've shifted it to after allowedToView.split in the first loop as that seemed a appropriate location to initialize it.

Javascript code saving data to 2d array throws undefined

I'm writing a script that takes values from a html table, indexes them in aray and then assign every value to a tag in a form.Codepen https://codepen.io/anon/pen/eVLKyB
My problem is that after taking all specified values from array I get
Code responsible for indexing values from table look like this:
function size_index(){
var table = document.getElementsByClassName("product_table_cus");
var index= [[],[]];
var i_index = 0;
var iter = 0; //index of first dim of array
var len = table[0].rows.length;
console.log("Len:"+len);
while(i_index<len) {
//iterate trough rows
console.log("second for, iter:"+ i_index);
var col_inner = table[0].rows[i_index].cells[0].innerHTML; //size param
var col_param = table[0].rows[i_index].cells[1].innerHTML;//size value
var col_size = col_inner.substr(col_inner.indexOf(' ')+1);
console.log("Rozmiar:"+ col_size+" Wartość:"+col_param);
// index[1][0].push("col_size");
// index[i_index][1].push(col_param);
if(col_inner.search("Rozmiar")!==-1)
{
console.log("Inner wtf:"+col_inner+"Ite:"+iter);
index[iter].push(col_inner,col_param);
console.log("Index+:"+index[iter]);
console.log("Ind:"+col_inner+"Val:"+col_param);
}
else if(col_inner.search("Rozmiar")==-1){
}
iter++;
// col_param=0;
// col_size=0;
//iterate through columns
//columns would be accessed using the "col" variable assigned in the for loop
//rows would be accessed using the "row" variable assigned in the for loop
i_index++;
}
return index;
}

You can see it in the console log:
This line of code
console.log("Inner wtf:"+col_inner+"Ite:"+iter);
Produces this output
Inner wtf:Rozmiar XXLIte:2
Your index variable has exactly two values in it.
So of course, if iter is a value greater than one, this line will cause an error:
index[iter].push(col_inner,col_param);
There are two elements in index, so index[2] will return undefined.
Your underlying problem is that [[][]] is not a two dimensional array. It is an array containing two arrays.
A safer way to do this is:
var index= [];
Then, to add an element:
index[iter] = index[iter] || [];
index[iter].push(...);

JS code returning error

I'm new to JS and i had to use it for Cloud Code Parse feature. I have a class called "user_picture", through the code i query all the objects and go through it's "City" attribute. i want the response to be an array of unique city names. Anyway, here is the code i'm working on:
Parse.Cloud.define("cities", function(request, response) {
var query = new Parse.Query("user_picture");
query.find({
success: function(results) {
var cities = new Array();
for (var object in results){
var tempArray = [object.get("city")];
if (cities.length > 0){
for (var i = 0; i < cities.length; i++){
if (cities[i].get("city") == object.get("city")) {
break;
} else if (i == cities.length-1) {
cities = cities.concat(tempArray);
}
}
}
}
response.success (cities);
}, error: function() {
response.error("Error");
}
});});
However, when i run this function i receive the following error:
Error: TypeError: Object 0 has no method 'get'
at query.find.success (main.js:15:30)
at Parse.js:2:5786
at r (Parse.js:2:4981)
at Parse.js:2:4531
at Array.forEach (native)
at Object.E.each.E.forEach [as _arrayEach] (Parse.js:1:666)
at n.extend.resolve (Parse.js:2:4482)
at r (Parse.js:2:5117)
at Parse.js:2:4531
at Array.forEach (native) (Code: 141, Version: 1.2.18)
And the response returns null. I tried printing one object from the results array in order to make sure i'm receiving the right query, and it's printing fine the city. What could be the problem?

The for in loop iterates through all the keys of an object literal. Since results is an Array it will iterate through the keys of the Array, which are '0', '1' etc.
This means that the object variable will hold those key vales. And since they are not objects they don't have a method called get.
You need a forEach loop instead.
results.forEach(function(object){
var tempArray = [object.get("city")];
if (cities.length > 0){
for (var i = 0; i < cities.length; i++){
if (cities[i].get("city") == object.get("city")) {
break;
} else if (i == cities.length-1) {
cities = cities.concat(tempArray);
}
}
}
}
});
Or if you're targeting ES3 then you should use a for loop
for(var i = 0, length = results.length; i< length; i++){
var object = results[i];
var tempArray = [object.get("city")];
if (cities.length > 0){
for (var i = 0; i < cities.length; i++){
if (cities[i].get("city") == object.get("city")) {
break;
} else if (i == cities.length-1) {
cities = cities.concat(tempArray);
}
}
}
}

I recall working with Parse objects a bit and there seemed to be times to access them as an object (by direct parameter access) and sometimes by using the get method and it looks like you're mixing up the array access and object (from Parse) access methods.
Also, your list generator doesn't seem like it's really building a unique list. You only check to see if the current city is the same as the city you're going to add.
I might do something more like this (for the success method):
function(parseResults) {
var cities = {};
var ii=0;
var nResults = parseResults.length
for(;ii<nResults;++ii) {
cities[result.get('city')] = 1
}
var citiesArray = cities.keys();
response.success(citiesArray);
}
What we do here is build up an object whose keys are city names. Then return the keys as an array. What this does for us is automatically build a unique list because object keys should be unique.
If the result.get gives you problems, try replacing it with result.city. But i suspect the error you were seeing with your first example was trying to call get on the Array element.

Dynamically create a two dimensional Javascript Array

Can someone show me the javascript I need to use to dynamically create a two dimensional Javascript Array like below?
desired array contents:
[["test1","test2","test3","test4","test5"],["test6","test7","test8","test9","test10"]]
current invalid output from alert(outterArray):
"test6","test7","test8","test9","test10","test6","test7","test8","test9","test10"
JavaScript code:
var outterArray = new Array();
var innerArray = new Array();
var outterCount=0;
$something.each(function () {
var innerCount = 0;//should reset the inner array and overwrite previous values?
$something.somethingElse.each(function () {
innerArray[innerCount] = $(this).text();
innerCount++;
}
outterArray[outterCount] = innerArray;
outterCount++;
}
alert(outterArray);

This is pretty cut and dry, just set up a nested loop:
var count = 1;
var twoDimensionalArray =[];
for (var i=0;i<2;i++)
{
var data = [];
for (var j=0;j<5;j++)
{
data.push("Test" + count);
count++;
}
twoDimensionalArray.push(data);
}

It sounds like you want to map the array of text for each $something element into an outer jagged array. If so then try the following
var outterArray = [];
$something.each(function () {
var innerArray = [];
$(this).somethingElse.each(function () {
innerArray.push($(this).text());
});
outterArray.push(innerArray);
});
alert(outterArray);

A more flexible approach is to use raw objects, they are used in a similar way than dictionaries. Dynamically expendables and with more options to define the index (as string).
Here you have an example:
var myArray = {};
myArray[12]="banana";
myArray["superman"]=123;
myArray[13]={}; //here another dimension is created
myArray[13][55]="This is the second dimension";

You don't need to keep track of array lengths yourself; the runtime maintains the ".length" property for you. On top of that, there's the .push() method to add an element to the end of an array.
// ...
innerArray.push($(this).text());
// ...
outerArray.push(innerArray);
To make a new array, just use []:
innerArray = []; // new array for this row
Also "outer" has only one "t" :-)

[SEE IT IN ACTION ON JSFIDDLE] If that $something variable is a jQuery search, you can use .map() function like this:
var outterArray = [];
var outterArray = $('.something').map(function() {
// find .somethingElse inside current element
return [$(this).find('.somethingElse').map(function() {
return $(this).text();
}).get()]; // return an array of texts ['text1', 'text2','text3']
}).get(); // use .get() to get values only, as .map() normally returns jQuery wrapped array
// notice that this alert text1,text2,text3,text4,text5,text6
alert(outterArray);​
// even when the array is two dimensional as you can do this:
alert(outterArray[0]);
alert(outterArray[1]);
HTML:
<div class="something">
<span class="somethingElse">test1</span>
<span class="somethingElse">test2</span>
<span class="somethingElse">test3</span>
</div>
<div class="something">
<span class="somethingElse">test4</span>
<span class="somethingElse">test5</span>
<span class="somethingElse">test6</span>
</div>
Here you can see it working in a jsFiddle with your expected result: http://jsfiddle.net/gPKKG/2/

I had a similar issue recently while working on a Google Spreadsheet and came up with an answer similar to BrianV's:
// 1st nest to handle number of columns I'm formatting, 2nd nest to build 2d array
for (var i = 1; i <= 2; i++) {
tmpRange = sheet.getRange(Row + 1, Col + i, numCells2Format); // pass/fail cells
var d2Arr = [];
for (var j = 0; j < numCells2Format; j++) {
// 1st column of cells I'm formatting
if ( 1 == i) {
d2Arr[j] = ["center"];
// 2nd column of cells I'm formatting
} else if ( 2 == i ) {
d2Arr[j] = ["left"];
}
}
tmpRange.setHorizontalAlignments( d2Arr );
}
So, basically, I had to make the assignment d2Arr[index]=["some string"] in order to build the multidimensional array I was looking for. Since the number of cells I wanted to format can change from sheet to sheet, I wanted it generalized. The case I was working out required a 15-dimension array. Assigning a 1-D array to elements in a 1-D array ended up making the 15-D array I needed.

you can use Array.apply
Array.apply(0, Array(ARRAY_SIZE)).map((row, rowIndex) => {
return Array.apply(0, Array(ARRAY_SIZE)).map((column, columnIndex) => {
return null;
});
});`
