I have a simple html code as below
<input type="text" id="key" name="key">
<input type="text" id="value" name="value">
<button id="check">Check</button>and I have related jQuery code as well
var keyArray = [];
var valueArray = [];
$("#check").click(function() {
var keyVal = $("#key").val();
var valueVal = $("#value").val();
keyArray.push(keyVal);
valueArray.push(valueVal);
console.log(keyArray);
console.log(valueArray);
for ($i = 0; $i < keyVal.length; $i++) {
//Need to add some code here to check
}
});What I want is, whenever if someone click the Check button, it has to check if there is a similar item added before into the respective index of keyArray and valueArray. Eg: First I add 1 into the id key and 2 into the id value. If I add 1 and 2 into key and value fields a second time, it should prompt me such a pair already added.
How can I achieve this with JavaScript or jQuery?
var keyArray = [];
var valueArray = [];
$("#check").click(function() {
var keyVal = $("#key").val();
var valueVal = $("#value").val();
var exist=false;
if(keyArray.length>0){
for (i = 0; i < keyArray.length; i++) {
if(keyArray[i]==keyVal && valueArray[i]==valueVal)
{
console.log("pair exist");
exist=true;
break;
}
}
}
if(!exist)
{
keyArray.push(keyVal);
valueArray.push(valueVal);
}
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" id="key" name="key">
<input type="text" id="value" name="value">
<button id="check">Check</button>If you want, you can introduce a third array and store data in it, and compare it with your value.
var keyArray = [];
var valueArray = [];
var newArray = [];
$("#check").click(function() {
var keyVal = $("#key").val();
var valueVal = $("#value").val();
var isExist = false;
for (i = 0; i < newArray.length; i++) {
if(newArray[i].key == keyVal && newArray[i].value == valueVal ){
isExist = true;
break;
}
else{
isExist = false;
}
}
if (isExist){
alert("such a pair already added");
}
else{
keyArray.push(keyVal);
valueArray.push(valueVal);
newArray.push({ key : keyVal, value : valueVal });
}
console.log(keyVal);
console.log(valueVal);
console.log(newArray);
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" id="key" name="key">
