I am using the jquery .each function utilizing 2 selectors. When pushing the values to an array it adds them as each selector value as its own entry into the array.
in example array(100,casement,200,glider)
what I am trying to do is add them in key value pair in an array such as
array(100=>casement, 200=>glider)
What do I need to change to make this happen?
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList">
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList">
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList">
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList">
<script>
function getFields(){
$("input[name='windowNum'], input[name='windowList']").each(function() {
var winList = $(this).val();
windowList.push(winList);
//I want an array output like this from the 2 fields
//windowList.push(input[name='windowNum'] : input[name='windowList'])
});
}
</script>
It is working on my end. Try to test it into this code snippet. Or I probably did not understand your expected output.
var windowList = {};
function getFields(){
$("input[name='windowNum']").each(function() {
var key = $(this).val();
windowList[key] = $(this).next().val();
});
console.log(windowList);
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList"><br>
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList"><br>
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList"><br>
<input name="windowNum"><input name="windowList">
<button type="button" onclick="getFields()">Test</button>Use map instead of each
let arr = [100, casement, 200, glider];
arr = arr.map((v, i) = > {
if (i % 2 === 1 || !arr[i + 1]) return null;
return `${v}=>${arr[i + 1]}`;
}).filter(Boolean);
I solved it. Here is what I did.
$("input[name='windowNum'], input[name='windowList']").each(function() {
var winList = $(this).val();
windowList_x.push(winList);
});
for (let i = 0; i < windowList_x.length; i+=2) {
var wNum = windowList_x[i];
var wName = windowList_x[i + 1];
windowList.push({number: wNum, window: wName});
}
It outputs
Array
0: Object { number: "101", window: "test a" }
1: Object { number: "102", window: "test b" }
2: Object { number: "103", window: "test c" }
3: Object { number: "104", window: "test d" }
length: 4
