I know that this is close to a duplicate but I can't get the code to work. I have an object that I need to filter and I'm currently trying to emulate the accepted as an answer the code at Javascript filtering nested arrays
My data object is:
[{
"project_num": "5R01DA012513-23",
"principal_investigators": [{
"profile_id": 2076451,
"full_name": "PK",
"title": ""
}]
},
{
"project_num": "5R01DK118529-03",
"principal_investigators": [{
"profile_id": 8590844,
"full_name": "HW",
"title": "PROFESSOR, SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR"
}]
},
{
"project_num": "3R01AA025365-05S1",
"principal_investigators": [{
"profile_id": 8730036,
"full_name": "JJ",
"title": "ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRY"
}]
},
{
"project_num": "1R01HL163963-01",
"principal_investigators": [{
"profile_id": 2084037,
"full_name": "KH",
"title": "ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR"
},
{
"profile_id": 11309656,
"full_name": "AM",
"title": "RESEARCH ASSISTANT PROFESSOR"
}
]
},
{
"project_num": "5R25HL092611-15",
"principal_investigators": [{
"profile_id": 1886512,
"full_name": "CW",
"title": "P"
}]
}
]
and my JavaScript code is:
let payLoad = 1886512
const result = this.reporterData.map(t => {
const principal_investigators = t.principal_investigators.filter(d =>
d.profile_id === payLoad);
return { ...t,
principal_investigators
};
})
I need to pass in a profile_id as a payload and return the objects that will fill a data table.
The data can be 1000's of items and the principla_investigators can be multiple entries. When I use the code that I have it return all of the objects. Can someone point out my error? Thanks
You can try doing like this:
const result = this.reporterData.filter((t) => {
const principal_investigators = t.principal_investigators.filter((d) => d.profile_id === payLoad)
return (principal_investigators.length > 0)
})
I understand that you want an array with all the investigators matching that ID, right?
Try this:
const result = this.reporterData.reduce((previous, current) => {
if (current.principal_investigators) {
current.principal_investigators.forEach(pi => {
if (pi.profile_id === payLoad) {
previous.push(current)
}
});
}
return previous
}, [])
You can also do for loops with the same result:
const result = [];
for (project of this.reporterData) {
if (project.principal_investigators) {
for (pi of project.principal_investigators) {
if (pi.profile_id == payLoad) {
result.push(pi);
}
}
}
}
