Dynamically add array elements to JSON Object - javascript

I'm creating a JSON object from an array and I want to dynamically push data to this JSON object based on the values from array. See my code for a better understanding of my problem...
for(i=0;i<duplicates.length; i++) {
var request = {
"name": duplicates[i].scope,
"id": 3,
"rules":[
{
"name": duplicates[i].scope + " " + "OP SDR Sync",
"tags": [
{
"tagId": 1,
"variables":[
{
"variable": duplicates[i].variable[j],
"matchType": "Regex",
"value": duplicates[i].scopeDef
}
],
"condition": false,
},
{
"tagId": 1,
"condition": false,
}
],
"ruleSetId": 3,
}
]
}
}
I take object properties from the duplicates array that can have the following elements:
[{scopeDef=.*, scope=Global, variable=[trackingcode, v1, v2]}, {scopeDef=^https?://([^/:\?]*\.)?delta.com/products, scope=Products Section, variable=[v3]}]
As you can see, an object contain variable element that can have multiple values. I need to push to the JSON object all those values dynamically (meaning that there could be more than 3 values in an array).
For example, after I push all the values from the duplicates array, my JSON object should look like this:
name=Products Section,
rules=
[
{
name=Products Section OP SDR Sync,
tags=[
{
variables=
[
{
matchType=Regex,
variable=v3,
value=^https?://([^/:\?]*\.)?delta.com/products
},
{
matchType=Regex,
variable=trackingcode,
value=.*
},
{
matchType=Regex,
variable=v1,
value=.*
},
{
matchType=Regex,
variable=v2,
value=.*
}
],
condition=false,
},
{
condition=false,
tagId=1
}
],
ruleSetId=3
}
]
}
I tried the following code but without success:
for(var j in duplicates[i].variable) {
var append = JSON.parse(request);
append['variables'].push({
"variable":duplicates[i].variable[j],
"matchType": "Regex",
"value": duplicates[i].scopeDef
})
}
Please let me know if I need to provide additional information, I just started working with JSON objects.

First of all, you dont need to parse request, you already create an object, parse only when you get JSON as string, like:
var json='{"a":"1", "b":"2"}';
var x = JSON.parse(json);
Next, you have any property of object wrapped in arrays. To correctly work with it you should write:
request.rules[0].tags[0].variables.push({
"variable":duplicates[i].variable[j],
"matchType": "Regex",
"value": duplicates[i].scopeDef
})
If you want to use your code snippet, you need some changes in request:
var request = {
"name": duplicates[i].scope,
"id": 3,
"variables":[
{
"variable": duplicates[i].variable[j],
"matchType": "Regex",
"value": duplicates[i].scopeDef
}
],
"rules":[
{
"name": duplicates[i].scope + " " + "OP SDR Sync",
"tags": [
{
"tagId": 1,
"condition": false,
},
{
"tagId": 1,
"condition": false,
}
],
"ruleSetId": 3,
}
]
}
}
To understand JSON remember basic rule: read JSON backward. It means:
property
object.property
arrayOfObfects['id'].object.property
mainObject.arrayOfObfects['id'].object.property
and so on. Good luck!

How to get JSON entry from returned objects

I got JSON data, like:
{
"id": 1,
"active": true,
"dependency": [
{ "id": 2 }
{ "id": 3 }
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"active": true
},
{
"id": 3,
"active": true
}
I want to retrieve the "active" value for each dependency in the id 1 object. So far I used a forEach to get those dependency.
thisElement.dependency.forEach(function(id) {
console.log(id)
}
Which returns id 2 and id 3 as objects. Is there a way to use id.active straight away? By using only one loop? Because the result so far are objects without any connection to the related JSON data. Would it require to loop through the whole JSON data to retrieve those values?
The most efficient thing to to is create a hashmap with an Object or Map first so you only need to iterate the array once to find dependency related values.
You could do it by using Array#find() to search whole array each time but that is far more time complexity than the o(1) object lookup
const activeMap = new Map(data.map(obj => [obj.id, obj.active]))
data[0].dependency.forEach(({id}) => console.log(id ,' active: ' , activeMap.get(id)))
<script>
const data =
[
{
"id": 1,
"active": true,
"dependency": [
{"id": 2 },
{"id": 3}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"active": false
},
{
"id": 3,
"active": true
}
]
</script>

getting a specific value from JSON array with multiple arrays inside in javascript

I'm asking here as I can see this website the most one can help in this
I have an output value in JASON format as the following:
{
"total": 16,
"members": [{
"id": 4,
"name": "Blade11",
"descriptors": {
"os": "Windows 2012 / WS2012 R2"
},
"FCPaths": [{
"wwn": "50060B0000C27208",
"hostSpeed": 0
}, {
"wwn": "50060B0000C2720A",
"hostSpeed": 0
}],
"iSCSIPaths": [],
"persona": 11,
"links": [{
"href": "https://3par:8080/api/v1/hostpersonas?query=\"wsapiAssignedId EQ 11\"",
"rel": "personaInfo"
}],
"initiatorChapEnabled": false,
"targetChapEnabled": false
}, {
"id": 6,
"name": "Blade4",
"descriptors": {
"os": "VMware (ESXi)"
},
"FCPaths": [{
"wwn": "50060B0000C27216",
"hostSpeed": 0
}, {
"wwn": "50060B0000C27214",
"hostSpeed": 0
}],
"iSCSIPaths": [],
"persona": 8,
"links": [{
"href": "https://3par:8080/api/v1/hostpersonas?query=\"wsapiAssignedId EQ 8\"",
"rel": "personaInfo"
}],
"initiatorChapEnabled": false,
"targetChapEnabled": false
}
what I want is, to parse this output for retrieving an output parameter with the name object only in a list or array of string
for example Names = Blade11, Blade4,....
if you can see in the Json output we have all the names under "members", then each one is another array of values, I want to retrieve only names
thanks
If this JSON is string first you have to parse it
var json = JSON.parse('here is your JSON string');
Than you can access to it properties like you work with object
var names = json.members.map(function(member) {
return member.name;
});
Since you already have JSON format, you can use an array method on the member key of your JSON object to iterate through each array item.
var names = [];
object_name.members.forEach((arrItem) => {
names.push(arrItem.name);
}
or
namesArray = object_name.members.map((arrItem) => {
return arrItem.name;
}
You could use Array#map for iterating all elements of the array and return only the name property.
If you have a JSON string, you need to parse it in advance for getting an object, like
object = JSON.parse(jsonString);
var jsonString = '{"total":16,"members":[{"id":4,"name":"Blade11","descriptors":{"os":"Windows 2012 / WS2012 R2"},"FCPaths":[{"wwn":"50060B0000C27208","hostSpeed":0},{"wwn":"50060B0000C2720A","hostSpeed":0}],"iSCSIPaths":[],"persona":11,"links":[{"href":"https://3par:8080/api/v1/hostpersonas?query=\\"wsapiAssignedId EQ 11\\"","rel":"personaInfo"}],"initiatorChapEnabled":false,"targetChapEnabled":false},{"id":6,"name":"Blade4","descriptors":{"os":"VMware (ESXi)"},"FCPaths":[{"wwn":"50060B0000C27216","hostSpeed":0},{"wwn":"50060B0000C27214","hostSpeed":0}],"iSCSIPaths":[],"persona":8,"links":[{"href":"https://3par:8080/api/v1/hostpersonas?query=\\"wsapiAssignedId EQ 8\\"","rel":"personaInfo"}],"initiatorChapEnabled":false,"targetChapEnabled":false}]}',
object = JSON.parse(jsonString),
array = object.members.map(function (a) { return a.name; });
console.log(array);

Angular - Convert Jackson output to JSON

The server I'm working with changed the REST format from plain JSON:
{
"removedVertices": [
{
"id": "1",
"info": {
"host": "myhost",
"port": "1111"
},
"name": "Roy",
"type": "Worker"
}
],
"id": "2",
"time": 1481183401573
}
To Jackson format:
{
"removedVertices": [
"java.util.ArrayList",
[
{
"id": "1",
"info": [
"java.util.HashMap",
{
"host": "myhost",
"port": "1111"
}
]
"name": "Roy",
"type": "Worker",
}
]
"id": "2",
"time": 1482392323858
}
How can I parse it the way it was before in Angular/Javascript?
Assuming only arrays are affected, I would use underscore.js and write a recursive function to remove the Jackson type.
function jackson2json(input) {
return _.mapObject(input, function(val, key) {
if (_.isArray(val) && val.length > 1) {
// discard the Jackson type and keep the 2nd element of the array
return val[1];
}
else if (_.isObject(val)) {
// apply the transformation recursively
return jackson2json(val);
}
else {
// keep the value unchanged (i.e. primitive types)
return val;
}
});
}
If the api should be restful, then the server should not return none plain json results. I think the server site need to fix that.
I think it is because the server enabled the Polymorphic Type Handling feature.
Read Jackson Default Typing for object containing a field of Map and JacksonPolymorphicDeserialization.
Disable the feature and you will get result identical to plain json.
The main difference i see is that in arrays you have an additional string element at index 0.
If you always get the same structure you can do like this:
function jacksonToJson(jackson) {
jackson.removedVertices.splice(0, 1);
jackson.removedVertices.forEach((rmVert) => {
rmVert.info.splice(0, 1);
});
return jackson;
}

Empty element is added to Object

I create an object from duplicates array and I dynamically push to it elements. Everything works fine, excepting that I'm getting an additional empty element and I can't figure it out why...
This is my code:
for(i=0;i<duplicates.length; i++) {
Logger.log(duplicates[i]);
var request = {
"name": duplicates[i].scope,
"id": 3,
"rules":[
{
"name": duplicates[i].scope + " " + "OP SDR Sync",
"tags": [
{
"tagId": 1,
"variables":[
{
}
],
"condition": false,
},
{
"tagId": 1,
"condition": false,
}
],
"ruleSetId": 3,
}
]
}
for(var j in duplicates[i].variable) {
request.rules[0].tags[0].variables.push({
"variable": duplicates[i].variable[j],
"matchType": "Regex",
"value": duplicates[i].scopeDef
});
}
}
Here is an example:
duplicates = [
{scopeDef=.*, scope=Global 4, variable=[trackingcode, v1, v2]}, {scopeDef=https://www.delta.com/, scope=Homepage 2, variable=[v4, v5, v6, v7]},
]
After I execute the code I get the following log:
First object
{name=Global 4, rules=[{name=Global 4 OP SDR Sync, tags=[{variables=[
{},
{matchType=Regex, variable=trackingcode, value=.*},
{matchType=Regex, variable=v1, value=.*},
{matchType=Regex, variable=v2, value=.*}], condition=false, tagId=1.0}, {condition=false, tagId=1.0}], ruleSetId=3.0}], id=3.0}
Second object
name=Homepage 2, rules=[{name=Homepage 2 OP SDR Sync, tags=[{variables=[
{},
{matchType=Regex, variable=v4, value=https://www.delta.com/},
{matchType=Regex, variable=v5, value=https://www.delta.com/},
{matchType=Regex, variable=v6, value=https://www.delta.com/},
{matchType=Regex, variable=v7, value=https://www.delta.com/}], condition=false, tagId=1.0}, {condition=false, tagId=1.0}], ruleSetId=3.0}], id=3.0}
Note that both objects contain an empty element...why is that element added and how can I get rid of it??
You defined that empty object here:
"variables":[
{
}
],
Change your code as below to fix this :
Current :
"variables":[{}],
To Fix :
"variables":[],

elasticsearch autosuggest returning tricky JSON

I'm running a node.js server that sends queries to an elasticsearch instance. Here is an example of the JSON returned by the query:
{
"took": 2,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 9290,
"max_score": 0,
"hits": []
},
"suggest": {
"postSuggest": [
{
"text": "a",
"offset": 0,
"length": 1,
"options": [
{
"text": "Academic Librarian",
"score": 2
},
{
"text": "Able Seamen",
"score": 1
},
{
"text": "Academic Dean",
"score": 1
},
{
"text": "Academic Deans-Registrar",
"score": 1
},
{
"text": "Accessory Designer",
"score": 1
}
]
}
]
}
}
I need to create an array containing each job title as a string. I've run into this weird behavior that I can't figure out. Whenever I try to pull values out of the JSON, I can't go below options or everything comes back as undefined.
For example:
arr.push(results.suggest.postSuggest) will push just what you'd expect: all the stuff inside postSuggest.
arr.push(results.suggest.postSuggest.options) will come up as undefined even though I can see it when I run it without .options. This is also true for anything below .options.
I think it may be because .options is some sort of built-in function that acts on variables, so instead of seeing options as JSON and is instead trying to run a function on results.suggest.postSuggest
arr.push(results.suggest.postSuggest.options)
postSuggest is an array of object.options inside postSuggest is also array of object. So first you need to get postSuggest by postSuggest[0] and then
postSuggest[0].options to get array of options
This below snippet can be usefule
var myObj = {..}
// used jquery just to demonstrate postSuggest is an Array
console.log($.isArray(myObj.suggest.postSuggest)) //return true
var getPostSuggest =myObj.suggest.postSuggest //Array of object
var getOptions = getPostSuggest[0].options; // 0 since it contain only one element
console.log(getOptions.length) ; // 5 , contain 5 objects
getOptions.forEach(function(item){
document.write("<pre>Score is "+ item.score + " Text</pre>")
})
Jsfiddle
