I am trying to extract id from the below array of objects and so far I am able to give it a go with the below code but it is showing undefined and cannot get id , would you please check the code and adjust to get id out?
const array = [{
contact: {
id: 1,
email: 'roar@gmail.com',
},
date: '2/4/22'
},
{
contact: {
id: 2,
email: 'grr@gmail.com',
},
date: '2/4/22'
}
]
function extractValue(arr, prop) {
let extractedValue = [];
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
// extract value from property
extractedValue.push(arr[i][prop]);
}
return extractedValue;
}
const result = extractValue(array, 'contact.id');
console.log(result);const extractValue = (array, path) => {
const [first, second] = path.split('.')
if (second) return array.map(obj => obj[first][second])
return array.map(obj => obj[first])
}
const res = extractValue(array, 'contact.id')
console.log(res)
// => [ 1, 2 ]
this will support single and double level nested results
A good way to do this is the Array Map method
This will get all the id's from your array
const result = array.map((val) => val.contact.id)
function find(val, arr) {
for (let x of arr)
val = val[x];
return val;
}
function extractValue(arr, prop) {
return array.map(x => find(x, prop.split(".")))
}
