getTrimmedValues(values)
I want to create a shallow object from the original object and edit the string to remove the multiple spaces by using shallow object and for loop, I think I implemented it in a wrong way.
All advices and comments are appreciated.
Here we can take advantage of JSON.stringify function has a second parameter as a replacer function is internally iterating on every key of object. Please check the below code.
//Original Object
const values = {
otherObject: {},
otherArray: [],
primaryInformation: {
email: "dave.external@testdata.com",
externalEmployeeId: "DSB-External test ",
firstName: "Dave External test test",
isActive: true,
isExternal: false,
lastName: "Bacay External",
userId: 656555,
}
};
function getTrimmedValues(obj) {
let str = JSON.stringify(obj, (key, value) => {
if(typeof value === 'string') {
return value.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim()
}
return value;
});
return JSON.parse(str);
}
console.log(getTrimmedValues(values));
