Is there a way to connect queued_Dr to upcoming_appointments by using all_appointments
What would be the best approach to this problem?
var queued_Dr = ["Dr.Salazar",["Dr.Connors","Dr.Johnson"],"Dr.Pearson"]
upcoming_appointments =
[{"DOB":"01-27-2002","name":"Judy, W." ,"PCD":"Dr-S"}
,{"DOB":"08-15-1995","name":"John, V." ,"PCD":"Dr-C"}
,{"DOB":"07-05-1992","name":"David, C.","PCD":"Dr-S"}
,{"DOB":"01-15-2002","name":"Anna, S." ,"PCD":"Dr-J"}
,{"DOB":"01-15-2002","name":"Jeff, D." ,"PCD":"Dr-P"}]
all_appointments =
{"0": ["Dr-S","New York","Dr.Salazar"],
"1": ["Dr-C","Austin","Dr.Connors"],
"2": ["Dr-J","Austin","Dr.Johnson"],
"3": ["Dr-S","New York","Dr.Salazar"],
"4": ["Dr-P","San Juan","Dr.Pearson"],
"5": ["Dr-J","Austin","Dr.Johnson"]}
Goal Output
"Dr.Salazar" -> "Dr-S"
["Dr.Connors","Dr.Johnson"] -> "Dr-C" or "Dr-J"
"Dr.Pearson"] -> "Dr-P"
inputs are queued_Dr and upcoming_appointments.PCD
//Tried to see if the values where in the same dictionary
function find_by_exception_name(dr_name) {
return all_appointments.find((row) => row.upcoming_appointments == dr_name || row.upcoming_appointments.includes(dr_name));
}
//would return true or false if a Doctors name from queued_Dr and upcoming appointments existed in all_appointments
From the information you have given to us you don't need upcoming_appointments at all. The code below will return to you the desired result.
const mapTo = (arrayWithNames) => {
return arrayWithNames.map(name => {
if (Array.isArray(name)) {
return mapTo(name);
}
const appointment = Object.values(all_appointments)
.find(appointment => appointment[2] === name);
const upcommingAppointment = upcoming_appointments
.find(currentAppointment => currentAppointment.PCD === appointment[0])
console.log(`This is the upcomming appointment for your doctor ${JSON.stringify(upcommingAppointment)}`)
return `${name} -> ${appointment[0]}`
})
}
const result = mapTo(queued_Dr)
Also, please format your code properly. In JavaScript it is not a good practice to put opening braces on a new line as this might cause an unexpected result in some scenarios.
Edit: I've added the console.log so you can see the proper appointment for your doctor but you haven't explained how you want to use it.
