I want my Javascript to use this JSON file:
{
"Campgrounds": [
{
"Name": "Coyote lake",
"Address": "123 lake dr, gilroy ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Nice lake, cows, screaming hogs"
},
{
"Name": "Uvas reservoir",
"Address": "123 lake dr, San jose ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Nice waterfalls, trails, tall trees"
},
{
"Name": "Mount Madonna",
"Address": "123 lake dr, Santa cruz ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Nice views, trails, tall trees"
},
{
"Name": "Santa Cruz Beach",
"Address": "1230 lake dr, Santa cruz ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Ocean views, trails, tall trees"
}
]
}
and then create a new object variable in the js which will look like this:
{
"Campgrounds": {
"Coyote lake" : {
"Name": "Coyote lake",
"Address": "123 lake dr, gilroy ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Nice lake, cows, screaming hogs"
},
"Uvas reservoir" : {
"Name": "Uvas reservoir",
"Address": "123 lake dr, San jose ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Nice waterfalls, trails, tall trees"
},
"Mount Madonna" : {
"Name": "Mount Madonna",
"Address": "123 lake dr, Santa cruz ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Nice views, trails, tall trees"
},
"Santa Cruz Beach" : {
"Name": "Santa Cruz Beach",
"Address": "1230 lake dr, Santa cruz ca 95111",
"SiteCount": 50,
"Funfact": "Ocean views, trails, tall trees"
}
}
}
Essentially, I want to take the contents of the array and turn them into name-value format. Is this possible? I haven't found a way to do this.
CodePudding user response:
Assuming your object is in the data
variable, you could use Array.prototype.reduce
to convert it to your desired format:
const formattedData = {
...data,
Campgrounds: data.Campgrounds.reduce(
(carry, item) => ({
...carry,
[item.Name]: item,
}),
{}
),
};
Does it make sense though? It doesn't look like the most elegant of the formats.
