I have a javascript array that contains objects which have a few properties of which there are some booleans. I want to take the user's account type and filter out the ones that don't apply to them. I've included the filter code I have tried however it isn't working because it is filtering out if only one of the if statements come true. I understand this but am unsure how to resolve it.
Filter code
if(acc_type != 'Admin') {
this.items = this.items.filter((item) => {
return item.admin != true
})
}
if(acc_type != 'Manager') {
this.items = this.items.filter((item) => {
return item.manager != true
})
}
Some objects from array this filter are acting on
{ header: "Management", admin: true, manage: true },
{
title: 'Creation Form',
to: '/management/creation-form',
admin: true,
manage: true,
},
{
title: 'Management',
to: '/management',
admin: true,
manage: true,
},
{ header: "Settings" },
{
title: 'Account',
to: '/settings/account',
admin: true
},
{
title: 'Billing',
to: '/billing',
admin: true
},
From how I understand:
this.items = this.items.filter(function(item){
if(acc_type == 'Admin')
return item.admin || !item.manager
else if(acc_type == 'Manager')
return item.manager || !item.admin
else // any other acct
return !item.admin && !item.manager
})
this.items = this.items.filter((item) => {
return acc_type != 'Admin' && item.admin != true &&
acc_type != 'Manager' && item.manager != true
})
Simply turn around your logic to make it work.
If it is an 'Admin' account, every item having admin: true should be in the resulting list. If the account is is 'Manager', everything having manage: true should be in the resulting list.
if (acc_type === 'Admin') {
this.items = this.items.filter(item => !!item.admin);
}
else if (acc_type === 'Manager') {
this.items = this.items.filter(item => !!item.manager);
}
According to this, for 'Admin' accounts all entries will be in the resulting list, for 'Manager' accounts there will be only the first two entries.
Don't be confused by the !! - it's only a boolean conversion. For this example it can be omitted.
