jQuery: Looping through object properly?

Tags:

I am trying to loop through the below shown JS object with the following code snippet, while needing to fetch both the index key as well as the inner object.

How on earth should I do this, as the following doesn't work?

The object:

({ prop_1:["1", "2"],
 prop_2:["3", "4"]})

My code:

$.each(myObject, function(key,valueObj){
    alert(key + "/" + valueObj.toSource() );
});

Expected output:

prop_1 / (["1", "2"])

The inner object you're fetching fine, valueObj is the array, it just has no method .toSource() (at least not cross-browser anyway), if you remove that you'll get an alert:

$.each(myObject, function(key,valueObj){
    alert(key + "/" + valueObj );
});

You can test it out here, don't be thrown that the output is just:

prop_1/1,2
prop_2/3,4

...the default .toString() on an Array is a comma delimited list, so that's what you see with an alert(). For example, if you instead did alert(key + "/" + valueObj[0] );, you'd see:

prop_1/1
prop_2/3

...so you can see you do have the Array you want, you can test that here.

You could use a for in loop:

    var myObject = ({ prop_1:["1", "2"], prop_2:["3", "4"]})
    for (var key in myObject) {
       if (myObject.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
           alert(key + "/" + myObject[key]);
        }
     }
