I am trying to sort sets of associated key value pairs. They look like this:
{"word":"a","votes":9326,"userMade":"FALSE","limiter":"FALSE"},
But organized into labeled subsets of preferably a string or perhaps an index if necessary.
The data-set is a vote-per-use table of most used english words being parsed into pages.
I will be appending them as text to other html elements due to the constraints my use case, makes it a bit tricky, however, for an example I could work with a simple console.log of the page value followed by the console.log of every word value stored within that page. I need the order preserved. so probably indexed. I will also need to be able to sort each page by the votes value, but I think I can figure the rest out for that.
I have found tutorials on how to search through key-value pairs, but I cannot find how to do all of the following with one solution:
A: access the value of word
B: maintain the order of the data-set, allowing me to append them to the matching html element
C: allows me the opportunity to change which set of elements I am appending to when i have finished looping through a single member of the parent index (the one recording the page)
I imagine it is some combination of for/of and for/in, but I'm getting a headache. Please help?
addl info:
function would run at app startup or when the dataset being examined is changed.
function would take a large dataset filled with around 200 page number values, each with 60+ sets of data like the one listed above, the contents of a single page index for example:

and the output would ultimately append the value paired with each word to a specific button through iteration, but also sorted by the page value.
each page is a set of buttons in a 3d object that looks like this:
the text is appended to each button which in turn is a 3d object embeded in an html object using aframe. I can make the appending code.
You can use Object.entries() to get the key value pairs of an object.
var words = [
{"word":"a","votes":9326,"userMade":"FALSE","limiter":"FALSE"},
{"word":"aaron","votes":4129,"userMade":"FALSE","limiter":"FALSE"}
];
words.forEach((wordEntry) => {
var keyValuePairs = Object.entries(wordEntry);
keyValuePairs.forEach((kv) => {
console.log(`key: ${kv[0]} value: ${kv[1]}`);
});
});
my latest attempt looks like this:
for (let p=1; p<129; p++){
for (let b=1; b<68; b++){
let pTpl = (p).toLocaleString(undefined, {minimumIntegerDigits: 3});
let bDbl = (b).toLocaleString(undefined, {minimumIntegerDigits: 2});
var `#fCont${pTpl}${bDbl}` = document.createElement('a-text');
`fCont${pTpl}${bDbl}`.setAttribute('value', 'engWordLib[p,b,0]');
`fCont${pTpl}${bDbl}`.setAttribute('votes', 'engWordLib[p,b,1]');
`fCont${pTpl}${bDbl}`.setAttribute('userMade', 'engWordLib[p,b,2]');
`fCont${pTpl}${bDbl}`.setAttribute('limiter', 'engWordLib[p,b,3]');
`fCont${pTpl}${bDbl}`.setAttribute('visible', 'false');
`fBtn${bDbl}`.appendChild(`#fCont${pTpl}${bDbl}`)
}
}
please note that I havent checked this for errors. I still think this code is to WET and I would prefer the key names for the properties be preserved in the datastructure rather than tacked on when it's appended to the page. I guess I could add a dimension to the array.... seems kind of messy when an object property value has the key value pairs right in it. cant get the iteration of objects in an array down though.... Will continue to persue a cleaner method.
I try to add elements in a particular way to the following JSON:
var data = [{"name":"google",
"ip":"10.10.10.01",
"markets":[{"name":"spain","county":"6002,6017,6018,6019,6020"},
{"name":"france","county":"6003,6005,6006,6007,6008,6025,6026,6027,6028,6029"},
{"name":"japan","county":"6004,6021,6022,6023,6024"},
{"name":"korea","county":"6000,6013,6014,6015,6016"},
{"name":"vietnam","county":"6001,6009,6010,6011,6012"}]},
{"name":"amazon",
"ip":"10.10.10.02",
"markets":[{"name":"usa","county":"10000,10001,10002,10003,10004,10005"}]},
{"name":"yahoo",
"ip":"10.10.10.03",
"markets":[{"name":"japan","county":"10000"}]}];
I want to add this element to the json:
newData = [{"name":"amazon",
"ip":"10.10.10.02",
"markets":[{"name":"mexico","county":"9000"}]}];
The result might be exactly this:
var data = [{"name":"google",
"ip":"10.10.10.01",
"markets":[{"name":"spain","county":"6002,6017,6018,6019,6020"},
{"name":"france","county":"6003,6005,6006,6007,6008,6025,6026,6027,6028,6029"},
{"name":"japan","county":"6004,6021,6022,6023,6024"},
{"name":"korea","county":"6000,6013,6014,6015,6016"},
{"name":"vietnam","county":"6001,6009,6010,6011,6012"}]},
{"name":"amazon",
"ip":"10.10.10.02",
"markets":[{"name":"usa","county":"10000,10001,10002,10003,10004,10005"},
{"name":"mexico","county":"9000"}]},
{"name":"yahoo",
"ip":"10.10.10.03",
"markets":[{"name":"japan","county":"10000"}]}];
I tried to use :
$.extend(data.markets, newData)
$.extend(true, data, newData); //this works only in the case every element is new.
but nothing works the way I pretend.
Could anyone give me a solution?
Thanks in advance.
You haven't created JSON, you've created a JavaScript literal object.
You could add this particular piece of newdata by
data[1].markets.push({"name":"mexico","county":"9000"})
Because you are dealing with javascript objects, you can write a function to check for the existence of data[n] and push data.
You have an array of objects, where each object is like the following:
var item = {"name":"...",
"ip":"...",
"markets":[ /*some objects here*/];
}
So why not just creating your custom method to insert elements? It could search in the array if an item with the same name and ip exists, and then:
If it does exist: append the markets to the existing item markets attribute (maybe you need to check again if they already exist). UPDATE:The code that #jasonscript added in his answer will do the job: once you have found where to add the market, just add it to the array. Again, maybe you'll have to check if that market was already in the array. Using jQuery it will be: $.extend(true, data[i],newData)
If it doesn't exist: just add the item to the array: $.extend(true, data,newData)
Stealing a little code from another answer:
$.each(data, function(item){
if(item.name == newData[0].name && item.ip == newData[0].ip) {
item.markets.push.apply(item.markets, newData[0].markets);
}
}
This assumes that you know that all the market items in the new object are different to the existing ones - otherwise you'd have to do a nested foreach or something. If you can change the notation of the objects a little you could think about using a dictionary-like object for Markets to make that a little cleaner.
In fact, changing data from an associative array would probably work for that too. Then you could easily check for existence with:
if(data[myNewDataName]){
//add to markets
} else {
data[myNewDataName] = myNewData;
}
