How to retrieve specific elements from an object into different arrays-CodePudding

I have this allData array with objects in it. I need to store the 'data' object into either the customers, addresses or stores array based on the type of key each element is inside allData. This is what I have so far. But when I run it, it still states that the arrays have no values.

var allData = [
        {type:"store", data:{store_id: 297, name: "Scotiabank - Main Branch", address_id: 1023}},
        {type:"store", data:{store_id: 614, name: "Scotiabank - Hamilton", address_id: 1984}},
        {type:"store", data:{store_id: 193, name: "Scotiabank - Mississauga", address_id: 1757}},
        {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 26, store_id:297, first_name: "Dave", last_name: "Bennett", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 4536, add_date: null}},
        {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 59, store_id:193, first_name: "John", last_name: "Stevens", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 2473, add_date: null}},
        {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 29, store_id:614, first_name: "Sarah", last_name: "Pym", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 1611, add_date: null}},
        {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 63, store_id:297, first_name: "Steven", last_name: "Edwards", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 1836, add_date: null}},
        {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 71, store_id:614, first_name: "Martin", last_name: "Scott", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 2727, add_date: null}},
        {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 24, store_id:614, first_name: "Jonathan", last_name: "Pym", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 1611, add_date: null}},

Just change allData.type[i] to allData[i].type within your loop. Since allData.type[i] will check if the object in the current iteration has a property named type, which also has the current iteration as a property. Basically, this is what you're evaluating:

allData.type['{type:"store", data:{store_id: 297, name: "Scotiabank - Main Branch", address_id: 1023}}'] == 'theValue'

Solution:

var allData = [
    {type:"store", data:{store_id: 297, name: "Scotiabank - Main Branch", address_id: 1023}},
    {type:"store", data:{store_id: 614, name: "Scotiabank - Hamilton", address_id: 1984}},

    {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 59, store_id:193, first_name: "John", last_name: "Stevens", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 2473, add_date: null}},
    {type:"customer", data:{customer_id: 29, store_id:614, first_name: "Sarah", last_name: "Pym", email: "[email protected]", address_id: 1611, add_date: null}},
