How to append additional field in the existing REST API JSON in typescript

Time:04-24

I want to add additional column which is not exist in my original response. I'm calling multiple REST endpoints one by one, and combining all the results into single JSON and showing in the Angular Mat table. I want to display these columns - ['postId', 'id', 'name', 'email', 'body', 'environment'];

I'm getting value for all columns except environment, this is something I want to add once I get the response from REST API.

For example, when I call onGetPost('post-1'), I want to add this field "environment": "dev" in the existing response. This is the original response I get when I call this api - https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1/comments

[
{
    "postId": 1,
    "id": 1,
    "name": "id labore ex et quam laborum",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "body": "laudantium enim quasi"
  },
{
    "postId": 1,
    "id": 2,
    "name": "id labore ex et quam laborum",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "body": "laudantium enim quasi"
  }
]

I want to modify the response like below:

[
{
    "postId": 1,
    "id": 1,
    "name": "id labore ex et quam laborum",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "body": "laudantium enim quasi",
     "environment": "dev"
  },
{
    "postId": 1,
    "id": 2,
    "name": "id labore ex et quam laborum",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "body": "laudantium enim quasi",
     "environment": "dev"
  }
]

Likewise, when it calls onGetPost('post-2'), this field should get appended "environment": "qa" in all the items, onGetPost('post-3') should be "environment": "uat" and onGetPost('post-4') should be "environment": "prod".

I tried below code but this is not working as expected:

        if (postId == 'post-1') {
            response.forEach(obj => {
                Object.entries(obj).forEach(([key, value]) => {
                    //console.log(`${key} ${value}`);
                    this.item[key] = value;
                    this.item['environment'] = 'dev';
                });
                this.my_array.push(this.item)
            }); 
        }

Could you please help me to resolve this issue. Appreciated your support on this. Thanks!

Hello All you need to use the javascript map function to modify the array of objects

const ob = [
{
   "postId": 1,
   "id": 1,
   "name": "id labore ex et quam laborum",
   "email": "[email protected]",
   "body": "laudantium enim quasi"
},
{
   "postId": 1,
   "id": 2,
   "name": "id labore ex et quam laborum",
   "email": "[email protected]",
   "body": "laudantium enim quasi"
}
]
const mapped = ob.map((i)=> {
    i['environment'] = "dev" // add your condition for qa/dev etc (post == 1) ? dev : qa etc
    return i;
});
console.log(mapped)
