Add property to all objects in array [duplicate]

Question

I have the following array of objects:

var array = [ {'a': '12', 'b':'10'}, {'a': '20', 'b':'22'} ]; 

How can I add a new property c = b - a to all objects of the array?

Answer 1

you can use array.map,

and you should use Number() to convert props to numbers for adding:

var array = [ {'a': '12', 'b':'10'}, {'a': '20', 'b':'22'} ];    var r = array.map( x => {    x.c = Number(x.b) - Number(x.a);    return x    })    console.log(r)

And, with the support of the spread operator, a more functional approach would be:

array.map(x => ({     ...x,     c: Number(x.a) - Number(x.b) })) 

Answer 2

Use forEach function:

var array = [{ 'a': '12', 'b': '10' }, { 'a': '20', 'b': '22' }];  array.forEach(e => e.c = +e.b - +e.a);     console.log(JSON.stringify(array));
