How do I update the value of a custom attribute (enum-of-strings) in SFCC via code?

Requirement: I want to update the value of a custom attribute (name: badges) (type: enum-of-strings) for a Product via code. I want to set the value "bestSeller" as selected. How should I do that update because the code below is not working?
Screenshot of the Custom Attribute in Business Manager
Code snippet:
function updateBestSeller() {
var ProductMgr = require('dw/catalog/ProductMgr');
var Site = require('dw/system/Site');
var UUIDUtils = require('dw/util/UUIDUtils');
var CustomObjectMgr = require('dw/object/CustomObjectMgr');
var currentSite = Site.getCurrent();
var bestSellerOrderUnits = Object.hasOwnProperty.call(currentSite.preferences.custom, 'bestSellerOrderUnits') ? currentSite.getCustomPreferenceValue('bestSellerOrderUnits') : 0;
try {
Transaction.wrap(function () {
var count = 1;
var products = ProductMgr.queryAllSiteProducts();sni
var HashSet = require('dw/util/HashSet');
var badges = new HashSet();
if (products.count > 0) {
while (products.hasNext() && count < 5) {
var product = products.next();
var badges = [];
badges.push('bestSeller');
if (Object.hasOwnProperty.call(product.custom, 'badges')) {
product.custom.badges = badges
}
count++;
Logger.debug('{0}',product.ID);
}
}
products.close();
});
} catch (ex) {
Logger.error(ex.toString());
return new Status(Status.ERROR, 'ERROR', 'UPDATE failed');
}
return new Status(Status.OK, 'OK', 'UPDATE successful');
}

I think what is probably happening here is that your attempt to validate that a product has a badges key in the product.custom attribute collection is failing. This prevents the update from occurring.
I suggest removing the condition around the following line:
product.custom.badges = badges;
If that line were to not execute, then the update to the database would never occur.
The way custom attributes work is that they will never exist until a value is set for that attribute for a given persistent object. (eg: Product) So checking to see if it exists via something like: 'badges' in product.custom (which is the recommended way) will often be false even when the custom attribute definition exists because many products have never had a badge value set. Once an object has had a value set to a particular custom attribute even if it is now set to null then it will exist.
Additionally, there are some other issues with the code that may be causing problems. One example is defining the badges variable twice within the same scope. Another example is sni that is placed at the end of the line where you define the products variable. This is likely causing an error in your code. Finally, it is a good practice to avoid the use of the queryAllSiteProducts method if you can. An alternative may be to use the ProductSearchModel instead; This may not always meet your need, but it is a good idea to rule it out before resorting to queryAllSiteProducts for performance reasons.
Something else to consider is that if badges currently has any selected values, you'll be overwriting those values with the code you have today. Consider setting badges initially to [] then check to see if there is a value for that product by doing:
if ('badges' in product.custom && !empty(product.custom.badges) {
badges = product.custom.badges;
}

How do I set a JavaScript object's value to null

I have created this JS object from an array.
var rv = {};
$( ".part-name:visible" ).each(function( index ) {
//rv[$(this).text()] = arrayPartsName[$(this).text()];
rv[$(this).text()] = arrayPartsName[$(this).text()];
console.log(rv);
})
4GN: "4GN"
4GNTS: "4GNTS"
042645-00: "042645-00"
503711-03: "503711-03"
573699-05: "573699-05"
I have to use this object with Materialize Autocomplete and I have to edit it. The correct object must be, for example, like this
4GN: null
4GNTS: null
042645-00: null
503711-03: null
573699-05: null
How can do this?

Picking up from my comment. You can just set it to null ;) JavaScript is quite a cool language... you can pretty much set any object's properties to anything you want, null, a specific value, or even a function... see some more on the topic
But to focus on your specific question:
Change this line
rv[$(this).text()] = arrayPartsName[$(this).text()];
to
rv[$(this).text()] = null;
Something to be aware of
If you have property or key values in the JSON object with a dash in the name, you have to wrap it in quotes ", otherwise it wont be seen as valid. Although this might not be as evident, or an issue in your example as your keys are being added via the following function $(this).text().
var fruit = {
"pear": null, // something null
"talk": function() { console.log('WOOHOO!'); } // function
}
var apple = "app-le";
fruit[apple.toString()] = 'with a dash';
fruit["bana-na"] = 'with a dash';
// below is not allowed, the values will be evaluated as
// properties that dont exist, and then your js will fail
// fruit[pe-ar] = 'with a dash';
fruit.talk();
console.log(fruit);

I'm trying to use jquery to create a div containing columns but I can't get my array to format correctly

I have an array that contains dates. and for some reason I can't get it to show on my screen I've been debugging for a few days now and I've tracked it down to a single line, but the line has worked before and I can't figure out what the issue might be.
The array looks like this:
var selectItems =
[ "05-26-2017", "06-02-2017", "06-09-2017",
"06-16-2017", "06-23-2017", "06-30-2017", "07-07-2017", "07-14-2017",
"07-21-2017", "07-28-2017"...];
It's passed as an argument from another function, but that's how it's showing in console.log().
I might be going about this the wrong way, maybe even a lot further around then I need to but this is what I've come up with:
1. function setTHead(selectItems) {
2 var formatString;
3. for (var x = 0; x < 12; x++) {
4. formatString = selectItems[x].replace(/[^0-9/-]/g, "").toString();
5. console.log(selectItems);
6. $('#datTab').append("<div id='col" + x + "' class='column'>'" + formatString + "'</div>");
7. }
8. }
the array up top is what's showing from the console.log 5 lines down.
the sixth line is what is seeming to give me issues. Nothing is put on the page at all.
I'm getting a console error saying:
jQuery.Deferred exception: selectItems is undefined setTHead#http://localhost/mySite/script.js:136:9

followed by:
TypeError: selectItems is undefined
and thats pointing to line 6.
if anyone has any advice I would be very much appreciative. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: A little more code:
function startTblView(defSel) {
if (defSel === true) {
setCookie('defSel', true, 7);
} else{
setCookie('defSel', false, 7);
}
saveSelected();
window.open('table.php', '_self');
defSel = getCookie('defSel');
if (defSel) {
selectItems = getDefDates();
}else {
selectItems = reGetSelected();
}
setTHead(selectItems);
}
defSel, is a boolean passed from my last page stating whether I'm doing a default view or a custom view, the custom view is passed from saveSelected();
saveSelected is a function for just saving the selected global value as a cookie so I can pull it out on the next page.
getDefDates pulls the default values for the array
reGetSelected, gets the selected array from the cookie.
I apologize for wonky naming conventions. I'm the only one working on this site and I'm just making sure the names don't overlap.

You can do this :
HTML code
<div id="datTab"></div>
JS code
var selectItems =
[ "05-26-2017", "06-02-2017", "06-09-2017",
"06-16-2017", "06-23-2017", "06-30-2017", "07-07-2017", "07-14-2017",
"07-21-2017", "07-28-2017"];
function setTHead(selectItems) {
var formatString;
$.each( selectItems, function( index, value ){
formatString = value.replace(/[^0-9/-]/g, "").toString();
$('#datTab').append("<div id='col" + index + "' class='column'>'" + value + "'</div>");
});
};
You can use $.each, its better than 'for' with javascript.
The .each() method is designed to make DOM looping constructs concise
and less error-prone. When called it iterates over the DOM elements
that are part of the jQuery object. Each time the callback runs, it is
passed the current loop iteration, beginning from 0. More importantly,
the callback is fired in the context of the current DOM element, so
the keyword this refers to the element.

How can I compare a string to an object key and get that key's value?

I want to do something relatively simple, I think anyways.
I need to compare the pathname of page with an object's kv pairs. For example:
if("pathname" === "key"){return value;}
That's pretty much it. I'm not sure how to do it in either regular Javascript or jQuery. Either are acceptable.
You can see my fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/lz430/2rhds1x3/
JavaScript:
var pageID = "/electrical-electronic-tape/c/864";
var pageList = [{
"/electrical-electronic-tape/c/864": "ElectronicTape",
"/industrial-tape/c/889": "IndustrialTape",
"/sandblasting-tape/c/900": "SandblastingTape",
"/Foam-Tape/c/875": "FoamTape",
"/double-coated-d-c-dhesive-tape/c/872": "DCTape",
"/Adhesive-Transfer-Tape/c/919": "ATTape",
"/Reflective-Tape/c/884": "ReflectiveTape",
"/custom-moulding": "CustomMoulding",
"/request-a-quote": "RequestQuote"
}];
var label = pageID in pageList;
$('.el').html(label);

First, your "pageList" should just be a plain object, not an object in an array:
var pageList = {
"/electrical-electronic-tape/c/864": "ElectronicTape",
"/industrial-tape/c/889": "IndustrialTape",
"/sandblasting-tape/c/900": "SandblastingTape",
"/Foam-Tape/c/875": "FoamTape",
"/double-coated-d-c-dhesive-tape/c/872": "DCTape",
"/Adhesive-Transfer-Tape/c/919": "ATTape",
"/Reflective-Tape/c/884": "ReflectiveTape",
"/custom-moulding": "CustomMoulding",
"/request-a-quote": "RequestQuote"
};
Then you can set "label" to the value from the mapping:
var label = pageList[pageID] || "(not found)";
That last bit of the statement above will set the label to "(not found)" if the lookup fails, which may or may not be applicable to your situation.

It depends kinda on the logic you want to implement. If you want to say "if object has the key, then do X, and if not, then do Y", then you handle that differently than "set label to the object's key's value if the key is there, or else set it to undefined or something else".
For the first case you do:
if (pageList.hasOwnProperty(pageID) ) {
label = pageList[pageID];
}
else {
// do whatever, maybe some error?
}
For the second case, you can just say
var label = pageList[pageID] || 'notFound';
As indicated by #Pointy, either get rid of the array or subsiture pageList[0] for pageList and pageList[0][pageID] for pageList[pageID] above, if you need to keep the array.

How to filter out usercreated events in fullcalendar

I have a fullcalendar where I display non-editable events which are collected from a google calendar, or from a database. Then I want to register customer requests for events from the calendar. This works, but I am not able to list only the events that are added by the user.
Any hint on how to do this?
I tried this:
function retrieve_events() {
var rdv=$('#calendar').fullCalendar( 'clientEvents', undefined);
for (i=0; i<=rdv.length-1; i++) {
/*alert(rdv.toSource());*/
alert(rdv[i].title+" id: "+rdv[i].id+" start: "+rdv[i].start+" end:"+rdv[i].end+" heldag:"+rdv[i].allDay);
}
}
The the "undefined" as id, means that I have given all the non-editable events an id, while the new ones haven't got one. But this way I get all events listed, even those without an id. The same happens with null and ''. But using hardcoded id-numbers returns that specific event.
I see from the documentation that there seems to be other ways to get hold of the events I need, by using other criteria like classes. However I cannot figure out how to specify this filter.

I haven't worked with FullCalendar yet nor do I intend to extensively test this, so I cannot guarantee that this will work.
However, why don't you simple test whether rdv[i].id evaluates to false?
Try:
function retrieve_events( ) {
var rdv = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('clientEvents'),
results = [];
for( var i = 0; i < rdv.length; ++i ) {
if( !rdv[i].id ) {
results.push(rdv[i]);
}
}
return results;
}
P.S.: Passing undefined to .fullCalendar() probably is redundant. It would be equivalent to passing only a single variable. I'd guess the second parameter is a type of events that you can filter for, but passing only a single parameter would cause the plugin to return all events. Also, note that !!'' === false.
The internal check whether the second parameter is set is probably similar to this:
$.fn.fullCalendar = function( command ) {
switch( command ) {
// ... some case's
case 'clientEvents':
var filter = arguments[1];
if( !filter ) {
// Retrieve ALL client events
}
else {
// Filter client events
}
break;
// ... some more case's
}
};
This does not compare types. Testing filter === false would only return true, if filter would evaluate to false and is a boolean.
Following are examples of values that evaluate to false. There may be more, but I believe those are all.
undefined
null
0
false
''
