I want to convert data object from:
let data = {
"data.name" : "michael",
"data.email" : "michael@xsx.com",
"person.gender" : "male"
}
into
{
"data" : {
"name": "michael",
"email": "michael@xsx.com"
},
"person" : {
"gender": "male"
}
}
I tried a loop and trying to split key:
let newdata = new Object()
for (const property in datas) {
let key = `${property.split(".")[0]}`
let subkey = `${property.split(".")[1]}`
newdata['key'] = key;
newdata['value'] = {subkey: `${datas[property]}`};
console.log(newdata);
}
The result looks like this:
"data" : {
"name" : {
"michael"
}
},
"data" : {
"email" : {
"michael@xsxx.com"
}
},
"person" : {
"gender" : {
"male"
}
}
What's next?
You can use Object.entries to get the key/value pairs from your existing data, then use reduce to convert that into a new object with the split keys forming a nested object:
const data = {
"data.name" : "michael",
"data.email" : "michael@xsx.com",
"person.gender" : "male"
}
const result = Object.entries(data).reduce((acc, [key, value]) => {
[key, subkey] = key.split('.')
acc[key] = acc[key] || {}
acc[key][subkey] = value
return acc
}, {})
console.log(result)
