I want the checked checkbox values to store in food javascript object like below:
food: {
{id: 1, name: egg }
{id: 2, name: meat}
}
Here's my code:
var exclude_foods = {};
jQuery('input[name=exclude_food]:checked').each(function(){
exclude_foods = Object.assign(exclude_foods, {
id: 1,
name: jQuery(this).val(),
});
});
Any suggestion or help?
You can use jQuery's map() method to do what you require.
Note that it's not clear where the id value is intended to come from, so I set it to the index of the checkbox for this example. This can easily be amended to suit your use case.
$('button').on('click', e => {
var exclude_foods = {
foods: $('input[name="exclude_food"]:checked').map((i, el) => ({
id: i,
name: el.value
})).get()
};
console.log(exclude_foods);
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
