I have an object looking like this
const item = {
id: 123,
type: 'book',
sections: [{
type: 'section',
id: '456',
index: 1,
lessons: [{
type: 'lesson',
id: 789,
index: 1
},
{
type: 'lesson',
id: 999,
index: 2
}
]
}, {
type: 'section',
index: 2,
id: 321,
lessons: [{
type: 'lesson',
id: 444,
index: 1
},
{
type: 'lesson',
id: 555,
index: 2
}
]
}]
}
It should be assumed that there are more objects in sections and lessons array. I want to create a new object like this
result = [{
section: 456,
lessons: [789, 999]
}, {
section: 321,
lessons: [444, 555]
}]
I tried this loop but this just pushes indexes and not lesson's ids
let obj = {};
let sectionWithLessons = [];
let lessons = []
for (const i in item.sections) {
obj = {
sectionId: item.sections[i].id,
lessonIds: item.sections[i].lessons.map((lesson) => {
return lessons.push(lesson.id)
}),
};
sectionWithLessons.push(obj);
}
console.log(sectionWithLessons);
How can i do this correctly and preferably with good performance in consideration?
I believe the best/shortest thing is to use the map function, like:
const result2 = item.sections.map(({id, lessons}) => ({
id,
lessons: lessons.map(({id: lessionId}) => lessionId)
}))
I would suggest using Array.map() to convert the item sections to the desired result.
We'd convert each section into an object with a section value and lessons array.
To create the lessons array, we again use Array.map() to map each lesson to a lesson id.
const item = { id: 123, type: 'book', sections: [{ type: 'section', id: '456', index: 1, lessons: [{ type: 'lesson', id: 789, index: 1 }, { type: 'lesson', id: 999, index: 2 } ] }, { type: 'section', index: 2, id: 321, lessons: [{ type: 'lesson', id: 444, index: 1 }, { type: 'lesson', id: 555, index: 2 } ] }] }
const result = item.sections.map(({ id, lessons }) => {
return ({ section: +id, lessons: lessons.map(({ id }) => id) })
});
console.log('Result:', result);
