Let's say I have an array called data and it contains the following:
data: [
{
id: 100,
name: "something",
code_block: "x\ny\nz\na\nresult:touchdown\nasd\n"
},
{
id: 200,
name: "somethingElse",
code_block: "a\nb\nc\nd\nresult:touchdown\nasd\n"
}
]What I'm trying to do is iterate through the code_block property to extract out a string (result:touchdown) and replace the original value of code_block with that string. The problem is I'm not sure how I can perform the array methods like .map and such and still carry over the id and name properties.
Would you guys recommend that I make a shallow copy of the data object, iterate through code_block, and then replace that property on the original data object with the new array? Is there even a way to do this, or is there a better approach to what I'm doing here?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
How to change value of object which is inside an array using JavaScript or jQuery? - Stack Overflow
javascript - How to replace item in array? - Stack Overflow
Find and replace value inside an array of objects javascript - Stack Overflow
javascript - Replacing objects in array - Stack Overflow
It is quite simple
- Find the index of the object using
findIndexmethod. - Store the index in variable.
- Do a simple update like this:
yourArray[indexThatyouFind]
//Initailize array of objects.
let myArray = [
{id: 0, name: "Jhon"},
{id: 1, name: "Sara"},
{id: 2, name: "Domnic"},
{id: 3, name: "Bravo"}
],
//Find index of specific object using findIndex method.
objIndex = myArray.findIndex(obj => obj.id == 1);
//Log object to Console.
console.log("Before update: ", myArray[objIndex])
//Update object's name property.
myArray[objIndex].name = "Laila"
//Log object to console again.
console.log("After update: ", myArray[objIndex])
You have to search in the array like:
function changeDesc( value, desc ) {
for (var i in projects) {
if (projects[i].value == value) {
projects[i].desc = desc;
break; //Stop this loop, we found it!
}
}
}
and use it like
var projects = [ ... ];
changeDesc ( 'jquery-ui', 'new description' );
UPDATE:
To get it faster:
var projects = {
jqueryUi : {
value: 'lol1',
desc: 'lol2'
}
};
projects.jqueryUi.desc = 'new string';
(In according to Frรฉdรฉric's comment you shouldn't use hyphen in the object key, or you should use "jquery-ui" and projects["jquery-ui"] notation.)
var index = items.indexOf(3452);
if (index !== -1) {
items[index] = 1010;
}
Also it is recommend you not use the constructor method to initialize your arrays. Instead, use the literal syntax:
var items = [523, 3452, 334, 31, 5346];
You can also use the ~ operator if you are into terse JavaScript and want to shorten the -1 comparison:
var index = items.indexOf(3452);
if (~index) {
items[index] = 1010;
}
Sometimes I even like to write a contains function to abstract this check and make it easier to understand what's going on. What's awesome is this works on arrays and strings both:
var contains = function (haystack, needle) {
return !!~haystack.indexOf(needle);
};
// can be used like so now:
if (contains(items, 3452)) {
// do something else...
}
Starting with ES6/ES2015 for strings, and proposed for ES2016 for arrays, you can more easily determine if a source contains another value:
if (haystack.includes(needle)) {
// do your thing
}
The Array.indexOf() method will replace the first instance. To get every instance use Array.map():
a = a.map(item => item == 3452 ? 1010 : item);
Of course, that creates a new array. If you want to do it in place, use Array.forEach():
a.forEach((item, i) => { if (item == 3452) a[i] = 1010; });
You can use Array#find.
let arr = [
{
"enabled": true,
"deviceID": "eI2K-6iUvVw:APA",
},
{
"enabled": true,
"deviceID": "e_Fhn7sWzXE:APA",
},
{
"enabled": true,
"deviceID": "e65K-6RRvVw:APA",
},
];
const id = 'eI2K-6iUvVw:APA';
arr.find(v => v.deviceID === id).enabled = false;
console.log(arr);
You could use Array.reduce to copy the array with the new devices disabled:
const devices = [ /* ... */ ];
const newDevices = devices.reduce((ds, d) => {
let newD = d;
if (d.deviceID === 'eI2K-6iUvVw:APA') {
newD = Object.assign({}, d, { enabled: false });
}
return ds.concat(newD);
}, []);
You can use Array#map with Array#find.
arr1.map(obj => arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) || obj);

Here, arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) will return the element i.e. object from arr2 if the id is found in the arr2. If not, then the same element in arr1 i.e. obj is returned.
There is always going to be a good debate on time vs space, however these days I've found using space is better for the long run.. Mathematics aside let look at a one practical approach to the problem using hashmaps, dictionaries, or associative array's whatever you feel like labeling the simple data structure..
var marr2 = new Map(arr2.map(e => [e.id, e]));
arr1.map(obj => marr2.has(obj.id) ? marr2.get(obj.id) : obj);
I like this approach because though you could argue with an array with low numbers you are wasting space because an inline approach like @Tushar approach performs indistinguishably close to this method. However I ran some tests and the graph shows how performant in ms both methods perform from n 0 - 1000. You can decide which method works best for you, for your situation but in my experience users don't care to much about small space but they do care about small speed.

Here is my performance test I ran for source of data
var n = 1000;
var graph = new Array();
for( var x = 0; x < n; x++){
var arr1s = [...Array(x).keys()];
var arr2s = arr1s.filter( e => Math.random() > .5);
var arr1 = arr1s.map(e => {return {id: e, name: 'bill'}});
var arr2 = arr2s.map(e => {return {id: e, name: 'larry'}});
// Map 1
performance.mark('p1s');
var marr2 = new Map(arr2.map(e => [e.id, e]));
arr1.map(obj => marr2.has(obj.id) ? marr2.get(obj.id) : obj);
performance.mark('p1e');
// Map 2
performance.mark('p2s');
arr1.map(obj => arr2.find(o => o.id === obj.id) || obj);
performance.mark('p2e');
graph.push({ x: x, r1: performance.measure('HashMap Method', 'p1s', 'p1e').duration, r2: performance.measure('Inner Find', 'p2s','p2e').duration});
}
Don't make D a copy of A. Loop over A and make copies of each object with the x property replaced.
const D = A.map((el, i) => ({...el, x: B[i]}));
You can do it with .map() method
const A = [{
x: 'a',
y: 10
}, {
x: 'b',
y: 5
}, {
x: 'c',
y: 50
}];
const B = ['2022-06-15', '2022-06-16', '2022-06-17'];
x represents each element inside your A array and i the index, that you will use to loop thru your second array B
const C = A.map((x, i) => ({
x: B[i],
y: x.y
}));
console.log(C);
Just try with map:
const result = test.map(item => ({
...item,
displayName: item.displayName.replace('{scoreType}', 'goals'),
}))
You can use spread and Array#map to do something like this perhaps:
const test = [
{
marketType: 90,
displayName: "FT Total Match {scoreType} Over / Under 0.75 Remove",
},
{
marketType: 90,
displayName: "FT Total Match {scoreType} Over / Under 1 Remove",
},
]
newTest = test.map(obj => ({...obj, displayName: obj.displayName.replace('{scoreType}', 'goals')}))
console.log(newTest);
