I have an array of objects:
this.array = [{name: null}, {name: null}, {name: null}]
and array of reservend names:
this.reserved = ["name2", "name3"]
I loop through array and try to set uniques name (not included inside reserved array)
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
this.setDefaultName(array[i], 1);
}
private setDefaultName(obj, index){
if (!this.reserved.includes(`name${index}`)) {
obj.name = `name${index}`;
this.reserved.push(`name${index}`);
} else {
return this.setDefaultName(obj, index + 1);
}
}
After that all objects from array have name "name3". The expected result is to have sequence unique name: "name1", "name4", "name5". Could anyone help me?
I created a StackBliz demo which is as close as possible to your code and it is actually working fine! You may compare this demo with yours: StackBliz Demo
I adjust some of your code to make it runnable on snippet. It looks like it works though. Can you recheck?
let nameArray = [{name: null}, {name: null}, {name: null}]
let reserved = ["name2", "name3"]
for (let i = 0; i < nameArray.length; i++) {
setDefaultName(nameArray[i], 1);
}
function setDefaultName(obj, index){
if (!reserved.includes(`name${index}`)) {
obj.name = `name${index}`;
reserved.push(`name${index}`);
} else {
return this.setDefaultName(obj, index + 1);
}
}
console.log(nameArray)
