I have a complicated data structure that I need to convert to JSON. The problem is that my field names and values are in an array.
For instance, I have the following (simplified from my code base):
let SampleData = [
{ Field: 'Key', Value: '7'},
{ Field: 'City', Value: 'Some City'},
{ Field: 'Description', Value: 'Some Description'}
];
Basically my data is an array where the first element is the database column name, and the second element is the data in the column. I am trying to get a JSON object that is:
{ Key: 7, City: 'Some City', Description: 'Some Description' }
My real code has the fields and data is structures within the object, so I cannot simply use an Object.create() or Object.assign() as far as I can get working.
I have tried looping through to build a simple string and then use the JSON.parse to break it apart, but this seems like a lot of overhead for something I would have thought would be simpler.
As you asked, here's how to do it:
let array = [{
Field: 'Key',
Value: '7'
},
{
Field: 'City',
Value: 'Some City'
},
{
Field: 'Description',
Value: 'Some Description'
}
];
// #1 Mapping the array to an object...
let obj = {};
array.forEach(item => obj[item.Field] = item.Value);
// #2 Converting the object to JSON...
let json = JSON.stringify(obj);
console.log(json);
Bonus (ES6 + reduce):
const obj = array.reduce((acc, { Field, Value }) => ({ ...acc, [Field]: Value }), {});
you can try the below approach . I have used spread operator(ES6) and Object.assign to create the object ,then converted it into json string.
let SampleData = [
{ Field: 'Key', Value: '7'},
{ Field: 'City', Value: 'Some City'},
{ Field: 'Description', Value: 'Some Description'}
];
let obj = Object.assign(...SampleData.map( x => Object.values(x)).map(y => ({[y[0]]: y[1]})));
console.log(obj);
//{ Key: "7", City: "Some City", Description: "Some Description" }
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
I had a similar requirement and here is how I achieved it.
var ranges: segmentRange[] = new Array(2);
ranges[0] = { minimumPercentage: 50, maximumPercentage: 60 };
ranges[1] = { minimumPercentage: 30, maximumPercentage: 40 };
const segmentRanges = { segmentRanges: ranges };
return JSON.stringify(segmentRanges);
Output:
{"segmentRanges":[{"minimumPercentage":50,"maximumPercentage":60},{"minimumPercentage":30,"maximumPercentage":40}]}
