I've been playing around trying to learn in an API project using Postman and conducting tests using JavaScript. So far, I have succeeded with the help of reading on websites and watching YouTube videos. Of course, previous tests and playing around have been fairly easy but now I came to a stop. I really tried to figure this out for several weeks but I need further guidance, a push in the right direction or direct help.
What I'm trying to do is to filter out some of the response to only view objects that contain specific data.
To do that, I'm using a filter where I want all products containing a specific value inside an array "product_option_values".
My first approach was to see if I could sort products having any values from the first array, and it worked. It filters just fine.
var filterSmall = jsonData.products.filter(fs => fs.associations.product_option_values);
My next approach was to get to my goal of filtering out products according to specific values inside this array. I tried many simple .(dot) combinations and pointing to [index] to access it without any luck. (I must add that I know how to access this from a specific product, but that way doesn't work when filtering).
I've also tried other approaches such as:
var filterSmall = jsonData.products.filter(fs => fs.associations["product_option_values", 0, "name"] === "S");
and other similar combinations.
This is a very shortened sample of the structure of "products" which in its full form consists of 20 products and far more values inside of it:
{
"products": [
{
"id": 16,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Mountain fox notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "22"
},
{
"id": "23"
}
]
}
},
{
"id": 17,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Brown bear notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "23"
},
{
"id": "24"
}
]
}
}
]
}
and here is a small and expanded sample from product_option_values:
{
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": 1,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "0",
"name": "S"
},
{
"id": 2,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "1",
"name": "M"
},
{
"id": 3,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "2",
"name": "L"
}
]
}
How do I proceed? Did I do anything correct or even close to it?
Perhaps I've been staring at this for too long.
Thanks in advance.
If you want to compare nested attributes you have to transform the objects (e.g. by using a map operation), so that the relevant attributes are easily accessible for a comparison. If you want to filter by product_option_value id, you could do something like this:
const jsonData = {
"products": [
{
"id": 16,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Mountain fox notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "22"
},
{
"id": "23"
}
]
}
},
{
"id": 17,
"manufacturer_name": "Graphic Corner",
"quantity": "0",
"price": "12.900000",
"indexed": "1",
"name": "Brown bear notebook",
"associations": {
"categories": [
{
"id": "2"
},
{
"id": "6"
}
],
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": "23"
},
{
"id": "24"
}
]
}
}
]
};
const sample = {
"product_option_values": [
{
"id": 22,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "0",
"name": "S"
},
{
"id": 2,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "1",
"name": "M"
},
{
"id": 3,
"id_attribute_group": "1",
"color": "",
"position": "2",
"name": "L"
}
]
};
const ids = sample.product_option_values.map((el) => String(el.id));
console.log(ids);
const filtered = jsonData.products.filter((fs) => fs.associations.product_option_values.map((e) => e.id).some((f) => ids.includes(f)));
console.log(filtered);
I'm pretty new to Javascript, and I just learned about underscore.js. I have a deeply nested JSON object, and I need to use underscore to find key/value pairs, which I will then use to populate various HTML tables. If the structure was more shallow, using something like _.pluck would be easy, but I just don't know how to traverse past the first couple of nesting levels (i.e. surveyGDB, table, tablenames). The JSON object comes from an XML that is comprised of multiple nesting structures (mashed up from different database tables).
var JSONData =
"surveyGDB": {
"filename": "..\\Topo\\SurveyGeoDatabase.gdb",
"table": {
"tablename": [
{
"#text": "SurveyInfo\n ",
"record": {
"OBJECTID": "1",
"SiteID": "CBW05583-345970",
"Watershed": "John Day",
"VisitType": "Initial visit",
"SurveyInstrument": "Total Station",
"ImportDate": "2015-07-22T09:08:42",
"StreamName": "Duncan Creek",
"InstrumentModel": "TopCon Magnet v2.5.1",
"FieldSeason": "2015"
}
},
{
"#text": "QaQcPoints\n ",
"record": [
{
"OBJECTID": "1",
"TIMESTAMP": "2015-07-22T09:18:43",
"Code": "tp",
"Count": "357"
},
{
"OBJECTID": "2",
"TIMESTAMP": "2015-07-22T09:18:43",
"Code": "tb",
"Count": "92"
},
{
"OBJECTID": "3",
"TIMESTAMP": "2015-07-22T09:18:43",
"Code": "to",
"Count": "8"
},
{
"OBJECTID": "4",
"TIMESTAMP": "2015-07-22T09:18:43",
"Code": "bl",
"Count": "279"
},
{
"OBJECTID": "5",
"TIMESTAMP": "2015-07-22T09:18:43",
"Code": "bf",
"Count": "18"
}
]
},
{
"#text": "QaQcPolygons\n ",
"record": [
{
"OBJECTID": "1",
"TIMESTAMP": "2015-07-22T09:43:08",
"SurveyExtentCount": "",
"WaterExtentCount": "",
"ChannelUnitsCount": "",
"ChannelUnitsUnique": ""
},
{
"OBJECTID": "2",
"TIMESTAMP": "2015-07-22T13:35:15",
"SurveyExtentCount": "1",
"WaterExtentCount": "1",
"ChannelUnitsCount": "21",
"ChannelUnitsUnique": "21"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
For instance, I wanted all of the values for 'Code' in the 'QaQCPoints' table, so I tried:
var codes = _.flatten(_.pluck(JSONData.surveyGDB.table.tablename[1].record[0], "Code" ));
console.log(codes);
In the console, this returns an array with a length of 5, but with blank values.
What am I doing wrong?
I'd also rather search for the 'Code' values in the table based on something like the '#text' key value, instead of just using it's position in the object.
If I understood you correctly, you want to always search the record array within JSONData.surveyGDB.table.tablename array for some queries. This means you need to find the record based on some parameter and return something from the found record.
Do note that the record property is sometimes an array and sometimes an object (for table SurveyInfo) in your example so I'll assume you need to take this into account.
You can make a small function to extract data and handle both objects and arrays:
function extract(record, prop) {
if (Array.isArray(record)) {
return _.pluck(record, prop);
} else {
return record[prop];
}
}
Usage example:
I wanted all of the values for 'Code' in the 'QaQCPoints' table.
I'd also rather search for the 'Code' values in the table based on something like the '#text' key value, instead of just using it's position in the object.
To achieve this you first find a record using _.find, and then extract Code values from it using the method above:
var table = JSONData.surveyGDB.table.tablename;
// find an item that has `#text` property equal to `QaQcPoints`
var item = _.find(table, function(r) {
return r['#text'] === 'QaQcPoints';
});
// extract codes from the found item's record property
var code = extract(item.record, 'Code');
// output ["tp", "tb", "to", "bl", "bf"]
Running sample:
var JSONData = {
"surveyGDB": {
"filename": "..\\Topo\\SurveyGeoDatabase.gdb",
"table": {
"tablename": [{
"#text": "SurveyInfo",
"record": {
"OBJECTID": "1",

}]
}]
}
}
}
function extract(record, prop) {
if (Array.isArray(record)) {
return _.pluck(record, prop);
} else {
return record[prop];
}
}
var table = JSONData.surveyGDB.table.tablename;
var item = _.find(table, function(r) {
return r['#text'] === 'QaQcPoints';
});
console.dir(item);
var code = extract(item.record, 'Code');
console.log(code);

You have a two stage problem. Stage one is figuring out which table is QaQcPoints. If that's always JSONData.surveyGDB.table.tablename[1], you're good.
The next stage is getting your data out. You can use native array manipulation most of the time (unless you're on really old browsers). So:
var table = JSONData.surveyGDB.table.tablename[1].record;
var codeArray = table.map(function(val) { return val.Code; });
Will do the trick.
I am bit new to JSON world. And I have to use JavaScript to create following type of JSON structure. Not sure how to achieve this. Tried with following code, but unable to add second element("12101") as well as people to JSON Structure is where I am struggling.
var chat = {};
chat = {"101":{}};
chat["101"].people= {};
chat["101"].people = {"L0b12leL-Ar9GYKoAAAC":{}};
chat["101"].people.L0b12leL-Ar9GYKoAAAC = {"name":"vikram#qech.com"};
chat["101"].room= {};

This is invalid because the property name contains dashes.
chat["101"].people.L0b12leL-Ar9GYKoAAAC = {"name":"vikram#qech.com"};
To access it correctly, put it in quotes
chat["101"].people["L0b12leL-Ar9GYKoAAAC"] = {"name":"vikram#qech.com"};
Use bracket notation as a property accessor like this:
chat["12101"].people = {};
chat["101"].people["L0b12leL-Ar9GYKoAAAC"] = {"name":"vikram#qech.com"};
With it, it’s just a routine piece of work. It probably didn’t work right away since dot notation property access requires a valid identifier name. With bracket notation, you can use any string like "L0b12leL-Ar9GYKoAAAC".
Also note that in JSON, anything works as a property name too, as long as it is put in quotes. {"L0b12leL-Ar9GYKoAC":true} is as valid as {"💖":true}.
I asked this question here:
Working With Dynamic Multidimensional key-value pairs in JSON
But it's become a bit more involved and I can't get where I'm going from that answer. If I have a data object that looks like this:
{
"email": "user#someco.com",
"firstname": "Bob",
"lastname": "Smith",
"company": "ACME",
"custom": {
"services": [
{
"name": "svc1",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "true",
"status": "None"
},
{
"name": "svc2",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "true",
"status": "None"
},
{
"name": "svc3",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "false",
"status": "None"
},
{
"name": "svc4",
"desc": "abcdefg",
"selected": "false",
"status": "None"
}
],
"fields": [
{
"name": "Products",
"desc": "abcdef",
"type": "multi",
"values": [
{
"name": "Product1",
"desc": "abcdef"
},
{
"name": "Product2",
"desc": "abcdef"
}
],
"services": [
"svc1",
"svc2",
"svc3"
]
},
{
"name": "Wines",
"desc": "abcdef",
"type": "multi",
"values": [
{
"name": "Wine 1",
"desc": "abcdef"
}
],
"services": [
"svc4"
]
},
{
"name": "Fruits",
"desc": "abcdef",
"type": "multi",
"values": [
{
"name": "Fruit 1",
"desc": "abcdef"
},
{
"name": "Fruit 2",
"desc": "abcdef"
}
],
"services": [
"svc4"
]
}
]
}
};
How can I convert that into an Angular menu? The menu would need to list all of the services, and then if the service has an associated item in "fields" that item should be listed underneath it. So for instance "svc1" and its description should be listed on a line (got that working) but then "Product1" and "Product2" with their descriptions should appear on the next two lines because you can see that "svc1" is listed in the "services" field for "Products." Similarly, "svc4" should appear on a line, and then "Wines" and its description on the next line because "svc4" appears in the "services" field of "Wines."
I think the best way is to unpack and re-pack this JSON object in sequential order in the Angular controller and then push this data out to the Angular view but there might be a solution using only the logic available from the view. I've tried a bunch of nested fors and ifs along these lines (very much not working):
var i, j;
var listArray = [];
for (i = 0; i < $scope.svcs.length; i++) {
var littleArray = [$scope.svcs[i].status, $scope.svcs[i].name, $scope.svcs.desc];
listArray.push[littleArray1];
for (j=0; j < $scope.jFA.length; j++) {
if ($scope.jFA[j] == $scope.svcs[i].name) {
if ($scope.jFA[j] == $scope.svcs[i].fields)
littleArray = [$scope.jFA[j].fields] //...etc
}
}
...but that logic just keeps getting more and more dense and isn't working no matter now I try to use it. I liked the simplicity in the answer to the other question but have not had success in replicating it.
So if someone can help me figure out how to get the data into the right sequence using JS I can handle the Angular part. Or if you're an Angular whiz and have an answer along those lines, even better.
So it was a little hard understanding your question, but I gave it my best shot. Does this fiddle show what you are trying to achieve? http://jsfiddle.net/arknr6qz/1/
JS:
var app = angular.module('TestApp',[]);
app.controller('TestController', function($scope)
{
$scope.checkService = function(service, fieldServices)
{
if (fieldServices.indexOf(service) != -1) return true;
return false;
};
$scope.data = {

I had this working the other day, I don't know what I did differently but I can't fetch the data to add into my collection. From tutorials and the docs this code should work right?
var Player = Backbone.Model.extend({});
var PlayersCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
url: "data/players.json",
model: Player
});
var playersCollection = new PlayersCollection();
playersCollection.fetch({
success: function(players) {
alert('success')
},
error: function() {
alert('fail')
}
});
I get the error with that, I am thinking I am missing something VERY easy. Maybe it is my JSON, here is a look at it.

Inside the network tab (chrome dev tools) it does make a successful get on the json.
Request URL:http://localhost/FRESH/data/players.json
Request Method:GET
Status Code:200 OK (from cache)
I have to be missing something here lol. I had some large code that was getting data from hard coded collection then when I switched to the url method it wasn't working so I stripped it to the bare basics, so it's obviously something ticky-tack I am missing.
WOOOOOOW I saw that I added an extra comma to the end of the first json model "JELLY Bryant" and that solved it, I didnt think that was such a big deal, I just noticed it now.
Your server sends an invalid JSON : you have a dangling comma in the first object. Check http://json.org/ for what constitutes a valid JSON format and some online tools like http://jsonlint.com/ can give you a quick check.
Try
[
{
"name": "JELLY Bryant",
"team": "Ballaz",
"team_id": "1",
"number": "24"
}
]
