I would like to have multiple arrays of objects like this.
E.g:
const pets = [
{
name: "cat",
age: 4
},
{
name: "dog",
age: 6
}
]
But I want to create it using a map. So I was trying something like this.
let pets = [];
pets.map((item) => {
return (
item.push({
name: "cat",
age: 4
}, {
name: "dog",
age: 6
})
)
})
By this method, I'm getting an empty array.
So assuming this is incorrect, how would I go on and make this through a map.
Please any help would be appreciated.
first of all map works by looping through an array but you have empty array let pets = []; so the loop doesn't even start ! that's why you are getting empty array
Secondly map essentially is a method through which we can create a new array with the help of an existing array so you have chosen a wrong way!
example of map
const fruits = ["Mango", "Apple", "Banana", "Pineapple", "Orange"];
console.log(fruits);
const uppercaseFruits = fruits.map((fruit)=>{
return fruit.toUpperCase(); // this thing will be added to new array in every iteration
});
console.log(uppercaseFruits);but still ....
let pets = [""]; // an item so that loop can start
const myPets = pets.map((item) => {
return (
([{
name: "cat",
age: 4
},{
name: "dog",
age: 6
}])
)
})
console.log(myPets)//Usage of map: for example
let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let newArray = array.map((item) => {
return item * item;
})
console.log(newArray) // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]map will not change the original array, if you don't assign a value to it, the original array will never be affected
And if you want to get what you want you use RANDOM like this
//random String
function randomString(e) {
e = e || 32;
var t = "ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRSTWXYZabcdefhijkmnprstwxyz2345678",
a = t.length,
n = "";
for (i = 0; i < e; i++) n += t.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * a));
return n
}//random Number
function GetRandomNum(Min,Max)
{
var Range = Max - Min;
var Rand = Math.random();
return(Min + Math.round(Rand * Range));
}
var num = GetRandomNum(10000,999999);
alert(num);Then you can combine random strings and random numbers into a new Object through a function
