I have this javascript object:
var arr1 = [{id:'124',name:'qqq'},
{id:'589',name:'www'},
{id:'45',name:'eee'},
{id:'567',name:'rrr'}]
var arr2 = [{id:'124',name:'ttt'},
{id:'45',name:'yyy'}]
I need to replace objects in arr1 with items from arr2 with same id.
So here is the result I want to get:
var arr1 = [{id:'124',name:'ttt'},
{id:'589',name:'www'},
{id:'45',name:'yyy'},
{id:'567',name:'rrr'}]
How can I implement it using javascript?
You can use Array#map with Array#find.
arr1.map(obj => arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) || obj);
var arr1 = [{
id: '124',
name: 'qqq'
}, {
id: '589',
name: 'www'
}, {
id: '45',
name: 'eee'
}, {
id: '567',
name: 'rrr'
}];
var arr2 = [{
id: '124',
name: 'ttt'
}, {
id: '45',
name: 'yyy'
}];
var res = arr1.map(obj => arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) || obj);
console.log(res);
Here, arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) will return the element i.e. object from arr2 if the id is found in the arr2. If not, then the same element in arr1 i.e. obj is returned.
What's wrong with Object.assign(target, source) ?
Arrays are still type object in Javascript, so using assign should still reassign any matching keys parsed by the operator as long as matching keys are found, right?
There is always going to be a good debate on time vs space, however these days I've found using space is better for the long run.. Mathematics aside let look at a one practical approach to the problem using hashmaps, dictionaries, or associative array's whatever you feel like labeling the simple data structure..
var marr2 = new Map(arr2.map(e => [e.id, e]));
arr1.map(obj => marr2.has(obj.id) ? marr2.get(obj.id) : obj);
I like this approach because though you could argue with an array with low numbers you are wasting space because an inline approach like #Tushar approach performs indistinguishably close to this method. However I ran some tests and the graph shows how performant in ms both methods perform from n 0 - 1000. You can decide which method works best for you, for your situation but in my experience users don't care to much about small space but they do care about small speed.
Here is my performance test I ran for source of data
var n = 1000;
var graph = new Array();
for( var x = 0; x < n; x++){
var arr1s = [...Array(x).keys()];
var arr2s = arr1s.filter( e => Math.random() > .5);
var arr1 = arr1s.map(e => {return {id: e, name: 'bill'}});
var arr2 = arr2s.map(e => {return {id: e, name: 'larry'}});
// Map 1
performance.mark('p1s');
var marr2 = new Map(arr2.map(e => [e.id, e]));
arr1.map(obj => marr2.has(obj.id) ? marr2.get(obj.id) : obj);
performance.mark('p1e');
// Map 2
performance.mark('p2s');
arr1.map(obj => arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) || obj);
performance.mark('p2e');
graph.push({ x: x, r1: performance.measure('HashMap Method', 'p1s', 'p1e').duration, r2: performance.measure('Inner Find', 'p2s','p2e').duration});
}
Since you're using Lodash you could use _.map and _.find to make sure major browsers are supported.
In the end I would go with something like:
function mergeById(arr) {
return {
with: function(arr2) {
return _.map(arr, item => {
return _.find(arr2, obj => obj.id === item.id) || item
})
}
}
}
var result = mergeById([{id:'124',name:'qqq'},
{id:'589',name:'www'},
{id:'45',name:'eee'},
{id:'567',name:'rrr'}])
.with([{id:'124',name:'ttt'}, {id:'45',name:'yyy'}])
console.log(result);

Thanks to ES6 we can made it with easy way -> for example on util.js module ;))).
Merge 2 array of entity
export const mergeArrays = (arr1, arr2) =>
arr1 && arr1.map(obj => arr2 && arr2.find(p => p.id === obj.id) || obj);
gets 2 array and merges it.. Arr1 is main array which is priority is
high on merge process
Merge array with same type of entity
export const mergeArrayWithObject = (arr, obj) => arr && arr.map(t => t.id === obj.id ? obj : t);
it merges the same kind of array of type with some kind of type for
example: array of person ->
[{id:1, name:"Bir"},{id:2, name: "Iki"},{id:3, name:"Uc"}]
second param Person {id:3, name: "Name changed"}
result is
[{id:1, name:"Bir"},{id:2, name: "Iki"},{id:3, name:"Name changed"}]
I like to go through arr2 with foreach() and use findIndex() for checking for occurrence in arr1:
var arr1 = [{id:'124',name:'qqq'},
{id:'589',name:'www'},
{id:'45',name:'eee'},
{id:'567',name:'rrr'}]
var arr2 = [{id:'124',name:'ttt'},
{id:'45',name:'yyy'}]
arr2.forEach(element => {
const itemIndex = arr1.findIndex(o => o.id === element.id);
if(itemIndex > -1) {
arr1[itemIndex] = element;
} else {
arr1 = arr1.push(element);
}
});
console.log(arr1)
I'd like to suggest another solution:
const objectToReplace = this.array.find(arrayItem => arrayItem.id === requiredItem.id);
Object.assign(objectToReplace, newObject);
Considering that the accepted answer is probably inefficient for large arrays, O(nm), I usually prefer this approach, O(2n + 2m):
function mergeArrays(arr1 = [], arr2 = []){
//Creates an object map of id to object in arr1
const arr1Map = arr1.reduce((acc, o) => {
acc[o.id] = o;
return acc;
}, {});
//Updates the object with corresponding id in arr1Map from arr2,
//creates a new object if none exists (upsert)
arr2.forEach(o => {
arr1Map[o.id] = o;
});
//Return the merged values in arr1Map as an array
return Object.values(arr1Map);
}
Unit test:
it('Merges two arrays using id as the key', () => {
var arr1 = [{id:'124',name:'qqq'}, {id:'589',name:'www'}, {id:'45',name:'eee'}, {id:'567',name:'rrr'}];
var arr2 = [{id:'124',name:'ttt'}, {id:'45',name:'yyy'}];
const actual = mergeArrays(arr1, arr2);
const expected = [{id:'124',name:'ttt'}, {id:'589',name:'www'}, {id:'45',name:'yyy'}, {id:'567',name:'rrr'}];
expect(actual.sort((a, b) => (a.id < b.id)? -1: 1)).toEqual(expected.sort((a, b) => (a.id < b.id)? -1: 1));
})
// here find all the items that are not it the arr1
const temp = arr1.filter(obj1 => !arr2.some(obj2 => obj1.id === obj2.id))
// then just concat it
arr1 = [...temp, ...arr2]
Here a more transparent approach. I find the oneliners harder to read and harder to debug.
export class List {
static replace = (object, list) => {
let newList = [];
list.forEach(function (item) {
if (item.id === object.id) {
newList.push(object);
} else {
newList.push(item);
}
});
return newList;
}
}
If you don't care about the order of the array, then you may want to get the difference between arr1 and arr2 by id using differenceBy() and then simply use concat() to append all the updated objects.
var result = _(arr1).differenceBy(arr2, 'id').concat(arr2).value();
var arr1 = [{
id: '124',
name: 'qqq'
}, {
id: '589',
name: 'www'
}, {
id: '45',
name: 'eee'
}, {
id: '567',
name: 'rrr'
}]
var arr2 = [{
id: '124',
name: 'ttt'
}, {
id: '45',
name: 'yyy'
}];
var result = _(arr1).differenceBy(arr2, 'id').concat(arr2).value();
console.log(result);

I am only submitting this answer because people expressed concerns over browsers and maintaining the order of objects. I recognize that it is not the most efficient way to accomplish the goal.
Having said this, I broke the problem down into two functions for readability.
// The following function is used for each itertion in the function updateObjectsInArr
const newObjInInitialArr = function(initialArr, newObject) {
let id = newObject.id;
let newArr = [];
for (let i = 0; i < initialArr.length; i++) {
if (id === initialArr[i].id) {
newArr.push(newObject);
} else {
newArr.push(initialArr[i]);
}
}
return newArr;
};
const updateObjectsInArr = function(initialArr, newArr) {
let finalUpdatedArr = initialArr;
for (let i = 0; i < newArr.length; i++) {
finalUpdatedArr = newObjInInitialArr(finalUpdatedArr, newArr[i]);
}
return finalUpdatedArr
}
const revisedArr = updateObjectsInArr(arr1, arr2);
jsfiddle
function getMatch(elem) {
function action(ele, val) {
if(ele === val){
elem = arr2[i];
}
}
for (var i = 0; i < arr2.length; i++) {
action(elem.id, Object.values(arr2[i])[0]);
}
return elem;
}
var modified = arr1.map(getMatch);
I went with this, because it makes sense to me. Comments added for readers!
masterData = [{id: 1, name: "aaaaaaaaaaa"},
{id: 2, name: "Bill"},
{id: 3, name: "ccccccccc"}];
updatedData = [{id: 3, name: "Cat"},
{id: 1, name: "Apple"}];
updatedData.forEach(updatedObj=> {
// For every updatedData object (dataObj), find the array index in masterData where the IDs match.
let indexInMasterData = masterData.map(masterDataObj => masterDataObj.id).indexOf(updatedObj.id); // First make an array of IDs, to use indexOf().
// If there is a matching ID (and thus an index), replace the existing object in masterData with the updatedData's object.
if (indexInMasterData !== undefined) masterData.splice(indexInMasterData, 1, updatedObj);
});
/* masterData becomes [{id: 1, name: "Apple"},
{id: 2, name: "Bill"},
{id: 3, name: "Cat"}]; as you want.`*/
The accepted answer using array.map is correct but you have to remember to assign it to another variable since array.map doesnt change original array, it actually creates a new array.
//newArr contains the mapped array from arr2 to arr1.
//arr1 still contains original value
var newArr = arr1.map(obj => arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) || obj);
Array.prototype.update = function(...args) {
return this.map(x=>args.find((c)=>{return c.id===x.id}) || x)
}
const result =
[
{id:'1',name:'test1'},
{id:'2',name:'test2'},
{id:'3',name:'test3'},
{id:'4',name:'test4'}
]
.update({id:'1',name:'test1.1'}, {id:'3',name:'test3.3'})
console.log(result)
This is how I do it in TypeScript:
const index = this.array.indexOf(this.objectToReplace);
this.array[index] = newObject;
I have this set of data that I get dynamically -
This is the data I dynamically get
and my question is how can I get the values from the key, pattern and label and put them in a nested object like this - how should the nested object look like.
My current code is
let mergeTagsObj = {};
const merg = function(arr){
const propertyDataMap = arr.map(x => x.key);
propertyDataMap.forEach(x => {
mergeTagsObj[x] = {}
});
console.log(mergeTagsObj);
// console.log(object);
};
merg(displayArr)
displayArr has the data that I dynamically get, and I map each one to get the key so I can then give the object property a name. But after that I need to get the other 2 (pattern and label) and put it in the mergeTagsObj;
ex: mergeTagsObj = {
firstName:{
name:{label}
value:{pattern}
},
...
};
You can add the pattern and label in your forEach and any other logic that you might need to transform the data.
const data = [{key: 'firstName', pattern: "{{firstName}}", label: "First Name"},
{key: 'lastName', pattern: "{{lastName}}", label: "Last Name"},
{key: 'unsubscribeLink', pattern: "{{unsubscribeLink}}", label: "Unsubscribe Link"}
]
const transformDataToTagsObject = (dData) => {
const dynamicData = {};
dData.forEach((currentData, index) => {
const currentKey = currentData.key
const name = currentData.label
let value = currentData.pattern
if(currentData.key === 'unsubscribeLink'){
value = `<a href='${value}'>Unsubscribe</a>`
}
dynamicData[currentKey] = {
name,
value
}
})
const tagsObject = {
tags: dynamicData
}
return tagsObject;
}
const finalResults = transformDataToTagsObject(data)
console.log(finalResults)
Not most elegant solution, but I think this should work. Don't need to create the array of keys first you can just iterate over the arr of objects.
const merg = function(arr){
arr.forEach(x => {
mergeTagsObj[x.key] = {};
mergeTagsObj[x.key]['name'] = x.label;
mergeTagsObj[x.key]['value'] = x.pattern
});
console.log(mergeTagsObj);
// console.log(object);
};
// Given
const data = [
{key: "firstName", pattern: "{{firstName}}", label: "First Name"},
{key: "unsubscribeLink", pattern: "{{unsubscribeLink}}", label: "Unsubscribe Link"}
];
const tagsObject = data.reduce((obj, item) => {
const key = item.key;
const name = item.label;
let value = item.pattern;
if (key === 'unsubscribeLink') value = 'Unsubscribe';
return {...obj, [key]: {name, value}};
}, {});
console.log(tagsObject);
I have an array with the following values:
['persona1', 'Persona2', 'Persona3', 'Persona4']
And I have another array with the names of each person:
['JUAN', 'CARLOS', 'PEDRO','MATEO']
I need to generate a JSON object like the following:
{ persona1: 'JUAN', persona2: 'CARLOS', persona3: 'PEDRO', persona4: 'MATEO' }
Each value in the first array becomes the key for the corresponding value in the second array.
How can I do this in Javascript?
Loop over the array and generate the object dynamically.
let arr1 = [ 'foo', 'bar' ]
let arr2 = [ 'baz', 'qux' ]
let obj = {}
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) obj[arr1[i]] = arr2[i];
console.log(obj);
You could use reduce here
const arr1 = ["persona1", "Persona2", "Persona3", "Persona4"];
const arr2 = ["JUAN", "CARLOS", "PEDRO", "MATEO"];
const result = arr1.reduce((acc, curr, i) => {
acc[curr] = arr2[i];
return acc;
}, {});
console.log(result);
You can create an empty object, loop over the first array, and take each item in the array as the key, and take each item of the second array as the value.
Then you can you the JSON.stringify() function to convert that object to JSON string.
const arr1 = ['persona1', 'Persona2', 'Persona3', 'Persona4']
const arr2 = ['JUAN', 'CARLOS', 'PEDRO', 'MATEO']
const output = {}
arr1.forEach((item, i) => output[item] = arr2[i])
console.log(JSON.stringify(output))
const personKeyArr = ['persona1', 'Persona2', 'Persona3', 'Persona4']
const personValArr = ['JUAN', 'CARLOS', 'PEDRO','MATEO']
const retValue = {}
personKeyArr.forEach((x,i)=>retValue[x] = [personValArr[i]])
What you want to do is a combination of zipping two arrays together and then converting the resulting pairs into the key/value entries in an object. As #Phil mentioned in their comment, the lodash library has a function to do this called zipObject, but if you don't want to load that entire library, it's not hard to create your own with reduce. Here's one version (found at https://lowrey.me/lodash-zipobject-in-es6-javascript/):
const zipObject = (props, values) => {
return props.reduce((prev, prop, i) => {
return Object.assign(prev, { [prop]: values[i] });
}, {});
};
Running it on your data:
keys = ['persona1', 'Persona2', 'Persona3', 'Persona4']
nombres = ['JUAN', 'CARLOS', 'PEDRO','MATEO']
zipObject(keys, nombres)
//=>
{
persona1: 'JUAN',
Persona2: 'CARLOS',
Persona3: 'PEDRO',
Persona4: 'MATEO'
}
const a1 = [{x:1}, {x:2}],
const a2 = [{y:1}, {y:2}]
I want to achieve final result as:
a = [{x:1,y:1}, {x:2,y:2}]
how do I do this by map method.
const a = a1.map((item, index) => {
return [a1[index], a2[index]];
});
const a1 = [{
x: 1
}, {
x: 2
}];
const a2 = [{
y: 1
}, {
y: 2
}];
(function(a1, a2) {
const ret = a1.map((e, i) => ({ ...e,
...a2[i]
}))
console.log(ret)
})(a1, a2);
I don't know why you want to use map function, maybe is better to use other array methods for better performance and readability. But in this case if you want to use map you can iterate one of the arrays and create for each element ("e") an object, adding to it the corresponding position/key in the other array and the current one. Something like this:
const a = a1.map((e, i) => ({...e, ...a2[i]}))
My array comes like this
var data=[{PRODUCT : P1}, {PRODUCT: P2}]
I wantt to convert this into [P1, P2].
Sometimes my array comes like this
var data=[{ITEM: I1, QUANTITY:1}, {ITEM: I2, QUANTITY:2}]
I wantt to convert this into [I1, I2].
so can we make a common function, where I just want to extract particular value of array and make a new array.
p.s. Thank you in advance
I tried to write the logic like this:
data.map((d, index) => { var result= [];
result.includes(d[0]); })
but it,s not dynamic
You could define a function which will always get the first value of the first object key, this should satisfy your needs based on the above
var data1 = [{
ITEM: 'I1',
QUANTITY: 1
}, {
ITEM: 'I2',
QUANTITY: 2
}]
var data2 = [{
PRODUCT: 'P1'
}, {
PRODUCT: ' P2'
}]
function getArrayOfValues(list) {
return list.reduce((acc, x) => {
const firstValue = Object.values(x)[0];
acc.push(firstValue)
return acc;
}, [])
}
const result1 = getArrayOfValues(data1)
console.log(result1)
const result2 = getArrayOfValues(data2)
console.log(result2)
function getProductOrItem(list) {
return list.reduce((accumulator, obj) => {
if (obj.PRODUCT) {
accumulator.push(obj.PRODUCT);
} else if (obj.ITEM) {
accumulator.push(obj.ITEM);
}
return accumulator;
}, [])
}
you can iterate through your array with map() method and inside it extract the value of a first entity of an object in your array and simply get a new array with all values:
const data1 =[{PRODUCT : 'P1'}, {PRODUCT: 'P2'}]
const data2 = [{ITEM: 'I1', QUANTITY: 1}, {ITEM: 'I2', QUANTITY: 2 }]
const transformValuesOfArray = (arrayToTransform) =>
arrayToTransform.map(value => {
const firstObjectValue = Object.values(value)[0]
return firstObjectValue
})
console.log(transformValuesOfArray(data1))
console.log(transformValuesOfArray(data2))
