I am trying to teach myself some AppScript/Javascript. As an exercise, I am want to generate the following JSON object
[
{
"config_type": "City Details",
"config_data": [
{
"city_type": "MAJOR_CITY",
"city_data": [
{
"city_name": "BIGFOOLA",
"monetary_data": [
{
"currency_data": [
{
"dollars": 1000
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
I want to be able to enter only few details like "City Details", "MAJOR_CITY", and the dollar value - 1000 in a Google Sheet. The script should be able to generate the above JSON.
So I started by creating the names of all the Arrays and Objects in one row. In front of the the arrays, there was a blank cell and in front of the object the value. The Sheet looks like this
A B
config_type City Details
config_data
city_type MAJOR_CITY
city_data
city_name BIGFOOLA
monetary_data
currency_data
dollars 1000
I am able to get all of the details in a single object, but struggling to nest them under each other. How do I go about this?
Edit :Here is what I have for now
function doGet(){
var result={}
var rewardSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("CITY")
var reward_data = rewardSheet.getRange("A1:B13").getValues();
result = getJsonArrayFromData(reward_data);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(result))
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON)
}
function getJsonArrayFromData(data)
{
var column_headers = data[0];
var col_len = column_headers.length;
var row = [];
var reward_obj = [];
var config_obj = {};
var config_type = {};
var config_data = [];
var reward_type = {};
var reward_data = [];
var reward_name = {};
var reward_data_2 = [];
var currency_data = [];
var curreny_obj = {};
var rewardSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("CITY")
var row_items = rewardSheet.getRange(1,1,data.length,1).getValues();
//Logger.log(row_items);
for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++){
row = data [i];
config_type ={};
reward_type[config_type]={};
reward_name[reward_type]={};
//Logger.log(row);
for(var r=0;r<row.length;r++)
{
config_type[row[r]] = row[r+1];
reward_type[row[r]] = row[r+1];
reward_name[row[r]] = row[r+1];
}
config_data.push(config_type,reward_type,reward_name);
//reward_data.push(reward_name);
reward_obj = config_data;
}
Logger.log(reward_obj);
return reward_obj;
}
Ps: I know the JSON is messy, but its just to understand and teach myself.
You hard-coded a bunch of property names as variables; this is not a good approach.
Here is how one can do this. The variable output holds the object we'll return at the end, while currentObject points to the object that is due to be filled next. When it comes to filling it, we either have a scalar value data[i][1] to put in, or we don't, in which case a new object is created and becomes the new currentObject.
function formJSON() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("CITY");
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var currentObject = {};
var output = [currentObject]; // or just currentObject
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
if (data[i][1]) {
currentObject[data[i][0]] = data[i][1];
}
else {
var newObject = {};
currentObject[data[i][0]] = [newObject]; // or just newObject
currentObject = newObject;
}
}
Logger.log(JSON.stringify(output));
}
The output is
[{"config_type":"City Details","config_data":[{"city_type":"MAJOR_CITY","city_data":[{"city_name":"BIGFOOLA","monetary_data":[{"currency_data":[{"dollars":1000}]}]}]}]}]
or, in beautified form,
[{
"config_type": "City Details",
"config_data": [{
"city_type": "MAJOR_CITY",
"city_data": [{
"city_name": "BIGFOOLA",
"monetary_data": [{
"currency_data": [{
"dollars": 1000
}]
}]
}]
}]
}]
Incidentally, I don't see why you wanted to put every object in an array. A property can be another object. Removing square brackets on the commented lines we would get
{
"config_type": "City Details",
"config_data": {
"city_type": "MAJOR_CITY",
"city_data": {
"city_name": "BIGFOOLA",
"monetary_data": {
"currency_data": {
"dollars": 1000
}
}
}
}
}
I want to iterate over my 'areasarray' in the array 'areas' dataprovider array,
I have no idea how to loop over an array in an array, I've tried several tries with for-loops but none of it succeeded.
this is amCharts Maps framework.
var areasarray = {};
//get JSON File
$(function getData() {
var url = "../assets/document.json";
$.ajax({
url: url,
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
for (var i = 0; i < data.fact.length; i++) {
if (inverseCountryCodes[data.fact[i].dims.COUNTRY] != null) {
areasarray[i] = {
"id": inverseCountryCodes[data.fact[i].dims.COUNTRY],
"value": data.fact[i].Value,
"info": "Verkeersdoden per 100 000 inwoners: " + data.fact[i].Value
}
}
}
//console.log(areasarray);
//Map initialiseren
var map;
map = new AmCharts.AmMap();
map.colorSteps = 20;
var dataProvider =
{
mapVar: AmCharts.maps.worldLow
areas: [
{
id: "BE",
value: 10,
info: "Verkeersdoden ..."
}
]
};
console.log(dataProvider);
map.areasSettings = {
autoZoom: true,
selectedColor: "#338DAB"
};
map.dataProvider = dataProvider;
var valueLegend = new AmCharts.ValueLegend();
valueLegend.right = 10;
valueLegend.minValue = "little";
valueLegend.maxValue = "a lot!";
map.valueLegend = valueLegend;
map.addListener("clickMapObject", function (event) {
document.getElementById("info").innerHTML = '<p><b>' + event.mapObject.title + '</b></p><p>' + event.mapObject.info + '</p>';
});
map.mouseWheelZoomEnabled = true;
map.write("mapdiv");
}
});
});
If you want to iterate over areasarray which is actually an object and not an array you should look into using a for...in loop
For iterating over arrays within arrays, one approach would be to nest for loops
for(var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
for(var j = 0; j < array2.length; j++) {
// do something
}
}
It's not clear to me what you mean by "array in an array" in this context and it would help if you provided more information about what exactly you are trying to accomplish
I would try a nested loop. Here is an example of creating an array of arrays and then looping through each.
var matrix = []
matrix[1] = []
matrix[1][1] = "foo"
matrix.forEach(function(column){
column.forEach(function(cell){
console.log(cell);
});
});
var areasarray = {}; means it's an object, not an array.
To iterate through each items in this object, try this.
var keys = Object.keys(areasarray);
keys.forEach(function(k) {
// you can access your item using
// k is the property key
console.log(areasarray[k]);
console.log(areasarray[k].id);
console.log(areasarray[k].value);
console.log(areasarray[k].info);
});
Not sure why you chose to create areasarray as an object.
If you wanted to, you could have defined it as:
var areasarray = [];
Then when adding to the array you use:
areasarray.push({
"id": inverseCountryCodes[data.fact[i].dims.COUNTRY],
"value": data.fact[i].Value,
"info": "Verkeersdoden per 100 000 inwoners: " + data.fact[i].Value
});
So later on, you can simply do:
for (var i = 0; i < areasarray.length; i++) {
console.log(areasarray[i]);
console.log(areasarray[i].id);
console.log(areasarray[i].value);
console.log(areasarray[i].info);
}
Note: in the above code, i is an index, where in the object block code, k is a key to the object.
Use nested loops.
Example:
var a1=["1","2","3","4","5","6","7"];
var a2=["a","b","c","d","e"];
for(var i=0;i<a1.length;i++) //loop1
{
console.log(a1[i]);
for(var j=0;j<a2.length;j++) //loop2
{
console.log(a2[j]);
}
}
Sample Output:
1st iteration of loop1:
1abcde
2nd iteration of loop1:
2abcde
and so on...
For every iteration of loop1,loop2 iterates 4 times(j<5).
Hoping I got your question right...This could be an answer.!
var actual = [
{"country":"UK","month":"JAN","SR":"John P","AC":"24","PR":"2","TR":1240},

var expect = [
{month:"JAN",val: {"UK":"24","AUSTRIA":"64","ITALY":"21"}},

{month:"MAR",val: {"UK":"56","AUSTRIA":"24","ITALY":"51"}}

I have array of objects which i need to reshape for one other work. need some manipulation which will convert by one function. I have created plunker https://jsbin.com/himawakaju/edit?html,js,console,output
Main factors are Month, Country and its "AC" value.
Loop through, make an object and than loop through to make your array
var actual = [
{"country":"UK","month":"JAN","SR":"John P","AC":"24","PR":"2","TR":1240},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"JAN","SR":"Brad P","AC":"64","PR":"12","TR":1700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"JAN","SR":"Gim P","AC":"21","PR":"5","TR":900},
{"country":"UK","month":"FEB","SR":"John P","AC":"14","PR":"4","TR":540},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"FEB","SR":"Brad P","AC":"24","PR":"12","TR":1700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"FEB","SR":"Gim P","AC":"22","PR":"3","TR":600},
{"country":"UK","month":"MAR","SR":"John P","AC":"56","PR":"2","TR":1440},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"MAR","SR":"Brad P","AC":"24","PR":"12","TR":700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"MAR","SR":"Gim P","AC":"51","PR":"5","TR":200}
];
var outTemp = {};
actual.forEach(function(obj){ //loop through array
//see if we saw the month already, if not create it
if(!outTemp[obj.month]) outTemp[obj.month] = { month : obj.month, val: {} };
outTemp[obj.month].val[obj.country] = obj.AC; //add the country with value
});
var expected = []; //convert the object to the array format that was expected
for (var p in outTemp) {
expected.push(outTemp[p]);
}
console.log(expected);
Iterate through array and create new list
var actual = [
{"country":"UK","month":"JAN","SR":"John P","AC":"24","PR":"2","TR":1240},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"JAN","SR":"Brad P","AC":"64","PR":"12","TR":1700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"JAN","SR":"Gim P","AC":"21","PR":"5","TR":900},
{"country":"UK","month":"FEB","SR":"John P","AC":"14","PR":"4","TR":540},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"FEB","SR":"Brad P","AC":"24","PR":"12","TR":1700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"FEB","SR":"Gim P","AC":"22","PR":"3","TR":600},
{"country":"UK","month":"MAR","SR":"John P","AC":"56","PR":"2","TR":1440},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"MAR","SR":"Brad P","AC":"24","PR":"12","TR":700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"MAR","SR":"Gim P","AC":"51","PR":"5","TR":200}
];
var newList =[], val;
for(var i=0; i < actual.length; i+=3){
val = {};
val[actual[i].country] = actual[i]["AC"];
val[actual[i+1].country] = actual[i+1]["AC"];
val[actual[i+2].country] = actual[i+2]["AC"];
newList.push({month: actual[i].month, val:val})
}
document.body.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(newList);
This is the correct code... as above solution will help you if there are 3 rows and these will be in same sequnece.
Here is perfect solution :
var actual = [
{"country":"UK","month":"JAN","SR":"John P","AC":"24","PR":"2","TR":1240},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"JAN","SR":"Brad P","AC":"64","PR":"12","TR":1700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"JAN","SR":"Gim P","AC":"21","PR":"5","TR":900},
{"country":"UK","month":"FEB","SR":"John P","AC":"14","PR":"4","TR":540},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"FEB","SR":"Brad P","AC":"24","PR":"12","TR":1700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"FEB","SR":"Gim P","AC":"22","PR":"3","TR":600},
{"country":"UK","month":"MAR","SR":"John P","AC":"56","PR":"2","TR":1440},
{"country":"AUSTRIA","month":"MAR","SR":"Brad P","AC":"24","PR":"12","TR":700},
{"country":"ITALY","month":"MAR","SR":"Gim P","AC":"51","PR":"5","TR":200}
];
var tmpArray = [];
var obj =[];
for(var k=0; k<actual.length; k++){
var position = tmpArray.indexOf(actual[k].month);
if(position == -1){
tmpArray.push(actual[k].month);
val = {};
for(var i=0; i<actual.length; i++){
if(actual[i].month == actual[k].month){
val[actual[i].country] = actual[i]["AC"];
}
}
obj.push({month: actual[k].month, val:val});
}
}
I have a returned object list: data.d[15]
and one sample of it:
data.d[3] = {
CityId: 2,
CityName: "Ankara"}
I want to convert it to one object as
cities{
1: "Istanbul",
2: "Ankara",
3: "New York"
}
And it should be generic, so I dont know the "CityId" and "CityName" field names.
what is the best method for it?
thank you all... i have send fieldnames by field object -no dependencies important for this code-, it has been resolved.
var url = this.options.url + "/" + field.values,
id = field.fieldId,
title = field.fieldTitle;
this.getJSON(url, {}, function (rData) {
var obj = {};
for (i = 0; i < rData.d.length; i++)
obj[rData.d[i][id]] = rData.d[i][title];
$("#" + parentId).html(self.getHtmlOfFormData(type, obj));
});
Maybe you need to detect which property contains the name of the city. Maybe something like this can work?
var idprop, nameprop;
for (var prop in data.d[0]) {
if (typeof data.d[0][prop] === "string") nameprop = prop;
if (typeof data.d[0][prop] === "number") idprop = prop;
}
var cities = {};
for (var i = 0; i < data.d.length; i++)
cities[data.d[i][idprop]] = data.d[i][nameprop];
Keep in mind that this works if:
data.d isn't an empty array;
there's just one string property that contains the city name;
there's just one numeric property that contains the city id.
if i understood your question, you are trying to convert some ajax return that looks like this:
data.d = [
{
cityId: someNumber1,
cityName: someName1
},
{
cityId: someNumber2,
cityName: someName2
}
];
into an object that looks like this:
cities = {
someNumber1: someName1,
someNumber2: someName2
};
a snippet like this would do the trick:
var cities = {};
for (var i = 0; i < data.d.length; i++) {
cities[data.d[i].cityId] = data.d[i].cityName;
}
