I have value "b" with me and I want to get the item "3648" using that how can I do that using JavaScript?
{
"someID": "16385421",
"items": {
"9836": {
"id": "a"
},
"3648": {
"id": "b"
},
"7738": {
"id": "c"
}
}
}
o/p
"3648": {
"id": "b"
}
Edited after your comment:
getByItemId = ( val ) => {
let result;
for( let elem in data.items ){
const check = data.items[ elem ];
if( check.id == val ) result = check;
}
console.log( result )
return result;
}
getByItemId( "b" )
You could do it with some code that resembled the following.
First we get all of the object keys in the obj.items object.
Next we iterate through them.
At each step, we check to see if the desired ID is contained within the sub-object indexed by the current key in the array. If it's found, we update the result object.
We then return an empty object if the key isn't present, and something like the following if it was found: {key: '3648', id: 'b'}.
"use strict";
function byId(id){return document.getElementById(id)}
function qs(sel,parent=document){return parent.querySelector(sel)}
function qsa(sel,parent=document){return parent.querySelectorAll(sel)}
window.addEventListener('load', onLoaded, false);
var rawData = {
"someID": "16385421",
"items": {
"9836": {
"id": "a"
},
"3648": {
"id": "b"
},
"7738": {
"id": "c"
}
}
};
function getIDs(data, searchItemId)
{
let keys = Object.keys(data.items);
let result = {};
keys.forEach( keyFunc );
return result;
function keyFunc(elem, index, collection)
{
if (data.items[elem].id == searchItemId)
{
result.key = elem;
result.id = searchItemId;
}
}
}
function onLoaded(evt)
{
console.log( getIDs(rawData, "b") );
}You can do:
const obj = {
someID: '16385421',
items: {
9836: {
id: 'a',
},
3648: {
id: 'b',
},
7738: {
id: 'c',
},
},
}
const getParentObjectByValue = (obj, value) => {
const key = Object.keys(obj.items).find((k) => obj.items[k].id === value)
return key ? { [key]: obj.items[key].id } : undefined
}
console.log(getParentObjectByValue(obj, 'b'))
console.log(getParentObjectByValue(obj, 'zz'))
