My question is related to this question. I have a javascript array and I select four random items from it:
function getRandomObjects(array,selected,needed){
/*
*@param array array The array to pull from
*@param selected array The array of results pulled so far
*@param needed int The number of results we want
*/
var length = array.length;
var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * length) 1; // get random number in bounds of array
var exists=false; // make sure we didnt already pick this object
$.each(selected,function(i,obj){
if(obj.index==num)exists=true;
})
if(exists) getRandomObjects(array,selected,needed); // get a new one if this was a duplicate
else selected.push(array[num]);
if(selected.length!=needed) return getRandomObjects(array,selected,needed); // get another object if we need more
else return selected; // return the final result set
}
var testData = [

var randomObjects=getRandomObjects(testData,[],4);
console.log(randomObjects);
But I do not want to show the raw code to the console. I want to show each item with its values as clean HTML. I thought I could do this by making a variation to the last line of the above code like so:
<p id="test></p>
Then:
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = randomObjects;
But that doesn't work,I don't get my items in HTML rather I get this:
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Help please and thank you.
CodePudding user response:
You can't render objects, i.e., arrays, in the DOM, you need to turn it into a string first.
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(randomObjects);
CodePudding user response:
Yes, you can use pre tag to show better output in browser HTML.

Try to this code with your own code.
var lengthOfArray = array.length;
var randomNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * lengthOfArray);
var keys = Object.keys(array[randomNum]); // Get the objects in the ARRAY
return array[randomNum][keys[(keys.length * Math.random()) << 0]]; // Get the random item in the object
