Trying to match each element of an array to a set of coordinates in a multidimensions array in the following manner:
array1= [0, 5, 4]
array2 = [
{x: 1, y: 4, name: 'A', w: 0},
{x: 2, y: 8, name: 'E', w: 4},
{x: 3, y: 1, name: 'F', w: 5}];
I am hoping to match each element of array 1 to the value of w in array 2
0 -> {x: 1, y: 4, name: 'A', w: 0}
5 -> {x: 3, y: 1, name: 'F', w: 5}
4 -> {x: 2, y: 8, name: 'E', w: 4}
I want to return :
[
{x:1, y,4}, {x:3, y:1},
{x:3, y:1}, {x:2, y:8},
...
];
You can chain array filter and map to do something like this
Array.prototype.filter() to filter all elements based on the index from first array and
Array.prototype.map() to modify the object so as to only show the x and y co-ordinates
const array1 = [0, 5, 4];
const array2 = [
{ x: 1, y: 4, name: "A", index: 0 },
{ x: 2, y: 8, name: "E", index: 4 },
{ x: 3, y: 1, name: "F", index: 5 },
];
const newArr = array2.filter(x => array1.includes(x.index)).map(x => ({ x: x.x, y: x.y }));
console.log(newArr)You should return the required x and y coordinates as an array.
Please find a working fiddle for that.
const array1 = [0, 5, 4]
const array2 = [
{ x: 1, y: 4, name: 'A', w: 0 },
{ x: 2, y: 8, name: 'E', w: 4 },
{ x: 3, y: 1, name: 'F', w: 5 },
];
const tempArray = array1.map((item) => array2.find((node) => node.w === item));
// console.log(tempArray);
const finalArray = tempArray.map((currentNode, index, actualArray) => {
const nextIndex = index === actualArray.length - 1 ? 0 : index + 1;
return [
{ x: currentNode.x, y: currentNode.y },
{ x: actualArray[nextIndex].x, y: actualArray[nextIndex].y },
];
});
console.log(finalArray);
