can someone help me with this?
I need a function that given a fieldID, searchs within objects and returns the objectID that fieldID is in.
const objects = [
{
objectID: 11,
fields: [
{ id: 12, name: 'Source ID' },
{ id: 12, name: 'Source ID' },
],
},
{objectID: 14,
fields: [
{ id: 15, name: 'Creator' },
],},
{objectID: 16,
fields: [
{ id: 17, name: 'Type' },
{ id: 18, name: 'Name' },
{ id: 19, name: 'Description' },
],},
];
SOLVED: Got it working like this:
const getObjectID = fieldId => {
for (const object of objects) {
if (object.fields.find(field => field.id === fieldId)) {
return object.objectID;
}
}
};
This will work:
const getObjectId = (fieldID) => {
const object = objects.find(object => object.fields.find(field => field.id === fieldID )!== undefined)
if(object) return object.objectID;
return null
}
Using the find array method:
const objects = [
{ objectId: 1, fields: ["aaa"] },
{ objectId: 2, fields: ["bbb"] },
{ objectId: 3, fields: ["ccc"] },
];
const getObjectId = (id) => objects.find(object.objectId === id);
console.log(getObjectId(2));
// { objectId: 2, fields: ["bbb"] }
