I want to found the ids connection with the help of name connection
this are my container elements
const TotalNodes = [
{id : 1, name : "apple"},
{id : 2 , name : "banana"},
{id : 3 , name : "orange"},
{id : 4 , name : "lamon"},
{id : 5 , name : "suger"},
{id : 6 , name : "salt"}
]
this is my reference array
const NodesConnection = [
{source : "suger" , target : "salt"},
{source : "apple" , target : "orange"}
]
this is final output
const NodesConnectionWithIds = [
{source : 5 , target : 6},
{source : 1 , target : 3}
]
any help is so appreciatable
Here is a function that does the trick:
/**
*
* @param {{id: number, name: string}[]} nodes
* @param {{source: string, target: string}[]} connections
* @returns {{source: number, target: number}[]}
*/
function matchNodes(nodes, connections) {
return connections.map((connection) => {
const source = nodes.find((node) => node.name === connection.source);
const target = nodes.find((node) => node.name === connection.target);
return {
source: source.id,
target: target.id,
};
});
}
console.log(matchNodes(TotalNodes, NodesConnection));
