How can i use Array includes() Method to check value exist in array?

I have the following code which get all the data in kendo grid column Type. how can I check if array contain Type ='Custom Document'?
I tried the following
function chkCustomDocumentIncluded() {
var messageText = '';
var arrayType = [];
var data = $("#CustomDocumentsGrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource._data;
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
arrayType.push(data[i].Type);
}
if (arrayType.includes("Custom SBA")) {
messageText = '#Localizer["Custom document is required"].Value';
}
return messageText;
}
console.log(arrayType) returns expected value but how can i add a condition to check the value exist?

Use the Array.every method to check if every element of the array meets a condition.
function chkCustomDocumentIncluded() {
var data = $("#CustomDocumentsGrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource._data;
if (!data || data.every(d => d.Type == "Custom SBA")) {
return '#Localizer["Custom document is required"].Value';
} else {
return '';
}
}

Javascript Callback in for Loop

My problem is that I'm having a Function A which calls at one point another function, let's call it Function B (getChildContent) and needs the return value of Function B in order to proceed. I know that it's because of Javascripts Asynchronous Nature, and i tried to solve it with a callback. But i can't get it work properly.
FunctionA(){
//some Code.....
else {
for(i in clustertitles) {
if(S(text).contains(clustertitles[i])) {
var parent = {};
parent.ClusterName = clustertitles[i];
parent.Functions = [];
var str = '== ' + clustertitles[i] + ' ==\n* ';
str = S(text).between(str,'.').s;
var caps = parseFunctions(str);
for(y in caps) {
//var content = getChildContent(caps[y]);
getChildContent(caps[y], function(content) { //Function call
var child = {};
child.FunctionName = caps[y];
child.Content = [];
child.Content.push(content);
parent.Functions.push(child);
console.log(content);
});
}}}
}
function getChildContent (capname, callback) {
t = capname.replace(' ', '_');
bot.page(t).complete(function (title, text, date) {
var str = S(text).between('== Kurzbeschreibung ==\n* ', '.').s;
if(str === undefined || str === null || str === '') {
throw new Error('Undefined, Null or Empty!');
}
else {
var content = {};
str = parseTitles(str);
content.Owner = str[0];
content.Aim = str[1];
content.What = str[2];
content.Who = str[3];
content.Steps = str[4];
content.Page = 'some URL';
callback(content);
}
});
}
So in Function A I'm trying to call getChildContent from a for-Loop and pass the current string from caps-array. For each String in caps-array getChildContent() makes a http request over a node.js module and retrieves a string. With this string i'm building an object (content) which is needed in Function A to continue. However the 'console.log(content)' in Function A just prints out the object which is created with the last string in caps-array, but for many times. E.G. if caps-array has 5 entries, i get 5 times the object which is created with the last entry of caps-array.
How can i manage the loop/callback to get every time the right object on my console?

Your loop should call another function that preserves the value of y, something like this:
FunctionA(){
//some Code.....
else {
for(i in clustertitles) {
if(S(text).contains(clustertitles[i])) {
var parent = {};
parent.ClusterName = clustertitles[i];
parent.Functions = [];
var str = '== ' + clustertitles[i] + ' ==\n* ';
str = S(text).between(str,'.').s;
var caps = parseFunctions(str);
for(y in caps) {
yourNewFunction (y, caps, parent);
}}}
}
function yourNewFunction (y, caps, parent) {
getChildContent(caps[y], function(content) { //Function call
var child = {};
child.FunctionName = caps[y];
child.Content = [];
child.Content.push(content);
parent.Functions.push(child);
console.log(content);
});
}
function getChildContent (capname, callback) {
t = capname.replace(' ', '_');
bot.page(t).complete(function (title, text, date) {
var str = S(text).between('== Kurzbeschreibung ==\n* ', '.').s;
if(str === undefined || str === null || str === '') {
throw new Error('Undefined, Null or Empty!');
}
else {
var content = {};
str = parseTitles(str);
content.Owner = str[0];
content.Aim = str[1];
content.What = str[2];
content.Who = str[3];
content.Steps = str[4];
content.Page = 'some URL';
callback(content);
}
});
}

There are 2 ways to do so.
Put the loop inside a function, execute your callback after the loop is done. (Problematic if you are doing async call inside the loop.
function doLoopdiloopStuff() {
for() {
}
callback();
}
The other way, the way i prefer looks like this:
for(var i = 0; i < stuff || function(){ /* here's the callback */ }(), false; i++) {
/* do your loop-di-loop */
}
In another example:
for (var index = 0; index < caps.length || function(){ callbackFunction(); /* This is the callback you are calling */ return false;}(); index++) {
var element = caps[index];
// here comes the code of what you want to do with a single element
}

How to capture JSON export and send to URL

Instead of displaying the text via the displayText_() function, define a new function which POSTS the JSON to your destination.
var JSON_DESTINATION_URL = 'http://requestb.in/1gngj131';
function sendJson_(json) {
var options = {
"contentType":"application/json",
"method" : "post",
"payload" : json
};
UrlFetchApp.fetch(JSON_DESTINATION_URL, options);
}
If you still want to see the popup of text, just call this function before you call displayText_().
I'm assuming you want to POST this data. If you want to use another HTTP method, see the "method" section and related examples in the docs:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/url-fetch/url-fetch-app

SOAP response (XML) to JSON

I need to consume a SOAP web service which, naturally, sends its response in XML, since I'm developing a Appcelerator Titanium mobile app I would prefer the response in JSON. After looking online I converted the response using this Javascript code, it mostly worked but returned results such as the following:
{
"SOAP-ENV:Body" : {
"ns1:linkAppResponse" : {
"ns1:result" : {
#text : true;
};
"ns1:uuid" : {
#text : "a3dd915e-b4e4-43e0-a0e7-3c270e5e7aae";
};
};
};
}
Of course the colons and hashes in the caused problems so I adjusted the code to do a substring on the name and drop off anything before the ':', then a stringified the resulting JSON, removed all the hashes and parsed the JSON again. This is a bit messy for my liking but I end up with something usable.
Here is the xmlToJson code I'm using:
// Changes XML to JSON
function xmlToJson(xml) {
// Create the return object
var obj = {};
if (xml.nodeType == 1) {// element
// do attributes
if (xml.attributes.length > 0) {
obj["#attributes"] = {};
for (var j = 0; j < xml.attributes.length; j++) {
var attribute = xml.attributes.item(j);
obj["#attributes"][attribute.nodeName] = attribute.nodeValue;
}
}
} else if (xml.nodeType == 3) {// text
obj = xml.nodeValue;
}
// do children
if (xml.hasChildNodes()) {
for (var i = 0; i < xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
var item = xml.childNodes.item(i);
var nodeName = item.nodeName.substring(item.nodeName.indexOf(":") + 1);
if ( typeof (obj[nodeName]) == "undefined") {
obj[nodeName] = xmlToJson(item);
} else {
if ( typeof (obj[nodeName].push) == "undefined") {
var old = obj[nodeName];
obj[nodeName] = [];
obj[nodeName].push(old);
}
obj[nodeName].push(xmlToJson(item));
}
}
}
return obj;
};
module.exports = xmlToJson;
Which results in the following JSON:
{
Body : {
linkAppResponse : {
result : {
text : true;
};
uuid : {
text : "9022d249-ea8a-47a3-883c-0f4cfc9d6494";
};
};
};
}
While this returns a JSON object I can use, I would prefer to have the resulting JSON in the following form:
{
result : true;
uuid : "9022d249-ea8a-47a3-883c-0f4cfc9d6494";
};
Mostly so it's less verbose and I can simply call json.result in order check if the query was successful instead of json.Body.linkAppResponse.result.text
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Came up with a working solution, not any less dirty but it works and returns data in the format I want.
function soapResponseToJson(xml) {
var json = xmlToJson(xml).Body;
console.debug(json);
var response = {};
for (var outterKey in json) {
if (json.hasOwnProperty(outterKey)) {
temp = json[outterKey];
for (var innerKey in temp) {
if (temp.hasOwnProperty(innerKey)) {
response[innerKey] = temp[innerKey].text;
}
}
}
}
console.debug(response);
return response;
}
// Changes XML to JSON
function xmlToJson(xml) {
// Create the return object
var obj = {};
if (xml.nodeType == 1) {// element
// do attributes
if (xml.attributes.length > 0) {
obj["#attributes"] = {};
for (var j = 0; j < xml.attributes.length; j++) {
var attribute = xml.attributes.item(j);
obj["#attributes"][attribute.nodeName] = attribute.nodeValue;
}
}
} else if (xml.nodeType == 3) {// text
obj = xml.nodeValue;
}
// do children
if (xml.hasChildNodes()) {
for (var i = 0; i < xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
var item = xml.childNodes.item(i);
var nodeName = item.nodeName.substring(item.nodeName.indexOf(":") + 1).replace('#', '');
if ( typeof (obj[nodeName]) == "undefined") {
obj[nodeName] = xmlToJson(item);
} else {
if ( typeof (obj[nodeName].push) == "undefined") {
var old = obj[nodeName];
obj[nodeName] = [];
obj[nodeName].push(old);
}
obj[nodeName].push(xmlToJson(item));
}
}
}
return obj;
};
module.exports = soapResponseToJson;
console.debug(json):
{
linkAppResponse : {
result : {
text : true;
};
uuid : {
text : "e4f78c5f-1bc2-4b50-a749-19d733b9be3f";
};
};
}
console.debug(response):
{
result : true;
uuid : "e4f78c5f-1bc2-4b50-a749-19d733b9be3f";
}
I'm going to leave this question open for a while in case someone comes up with a better solution.

I feel like this is a fairly ugly solution (hope it doesn't offend you :) ).
Why don't you marshal the xml to an object and then use gson or jackson to map to json.
I don't know what framework you use, in spring for example, you can use jaxb2 to marshal and jackson or gson to transform your object to json.

Dynamically building array, appending values

i have a bunch of options in this select, each with values like:
context|cow
context|test
thing|1
thing|5
thing|27
context|beans
while looping through the options, I want to build an array that checks to see if keys exist, and if they don't they make the key then append the value. then the next loop through, if the key exists, add the next value, comma separated.
the ideal output would be:
arr['context'] = 'cow,test,beans';
arr['thing'] = '1,5,27';
here's what i have so far, but this isn't a good strategy to build the values..
function sift(select) {
vals = [];
$.each(select.options, function() {
var valArr = this.value.split('|');
var key = valArr[0];
var val = valArr[1];
if (typeof vals[key] === 'undefined') {
vals[key] = [];
}
vals[key].push(val);
});
console.log(vals);
}

Existing code works by changing
vals=[];
To
vals={};
http://jsfiddle.net/BrxuM/

function sift(select) {
var vals = {};//notice I made an object, not an array, this is to create an associative array
$.each(select.options, function() {
var valArr = this.value.split('|');
if (typeof vals[valArr[0]] === 'undefined') {
vals[valArr[0]] = '';
} else {
vals[valArr[0]] += ',';
}
vals[valArr[0]] += valArr[1];
});
}
Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/jasper/xtfm2/1/

How about an extensible, reusable, encapsulated solution:
function MyOptions()
{
var _optionNames = [];
var _optionValues = [];
function _add(name, value)
{
var nameIndex = _optionNames.indexOf(name);
if (nameIndex < 0)
{
_optionNames.push(name);
var newValues = [];
newValues.push(value);
_optionValues.push(newValues);
}
else
{
var values = _optionValues[nameIndex];
values.push(value);
_optionValues[nameIndex] = values;
}
};
function _values(name)
{
var nameIndex = _optionNames.indexOf(name);
if (nameIndex < 0)
{
return [];
}
else
{
return _optionValues[nameIndex];
}
};
var public =
{
add: _add,
values: _values
};
return public;
}
usage:
var myOptions = MyOptions();
myOptions.add("context", "cow");
myOptions.add("context","test");
myOptions.add("thing","1");
myOptions.add("thing","5");
myOptions.add("thing","27");
myOptions.add("context","beans");
console.log(myOptions.values("context").join(","));
console.log(myOptions.values("thing").join(","));
working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Zjamy/

I guess this works, but if someone could optimize it, I'd love to see.
function updateSiftUrl(select) { var
vals = {};
$.each(select.options, function() {
var valArr = this.value.split('|');
var key = valArr[0];
var val = valArr[1];
if (typeof vals[key] === 'undefined') {
vals[key] = val;
return;
}
vals[key] = vals[key] +','+ val;
});
console.log(vals);
}

Would something like this work for you?
$("select#yourselect").change(function(){
var optionArray =
$(":selected", $(this)).map(function(){
return $(this).val();
}).get().join(", ");
});
If you've selected 3 options, optionArray should contain something like option1, option2, option3.

Well, you don't want vals[key] to be an array - you want it to be a string. so try doing
if (typeof vals[key] === 'undefined') {
vals[key] = ';
}
vals[key] = vals[key] + ',' + val;
