Iterate Object and replace values-CodePudding

I have this Object:

{
  "data": {
    "success": true,
    "historical": true,
    "date": "2022-01-01",
    "base": "MXN",
    "rates": {
      "COFFEE": 0.02158734144632395,
      "CORN": 0.008232645172711363,
      "COTTON": 0.04320921676820366,
      "SOYBEAN": 0.0036714622235960175,
      "SUGAR": 0.25680398615582695,
      "WHEAT": 0.00017592643558262669
    },
    "unit": "per bushel"
  }
}

And I want to iterate over "rates" to replace the values of each key with 1 / value
I tried with: (prueba is the Object name)

Object.values(this.prueba.data.rates).forEach((val) => {
      console.log(val)
      val = 1 / val;
      console.log(val)
    })

But how to replace those values or how can I saved them in another array or Object

CodePudding user response：

Your code doesn't work because the change you made to val is only reflected within the scope of the callback.

You should instead loop through each property and set its value.

const obj={data:{success:!0,historical:!0,date:"2022-01-01",base:"MXN",rates:{COFFEE:.02158734144632395,CORN:.008232645172711363,COTTON:.04320921676820366,SOYBEAN:.0036714622235960175,SUGAR:.25680398615582695,WHEAT:.00017592643558262669},unit:"per bushel"}};

let r = obj.data.rates;
Object.keys(r).forEach(e => r[e] = 1 / r[e])
console.log(obj)

If you're using Typescript it's necessary to declare the object like so:

const obj: {[key: string]: any} = ...

CodePudding user response：

You can iterate over Object.entries (or Object.keys) and replace the value for each key.

let obj={data:{success:!0,historical:!0,date:"2022-01-01",base:"MXN",rates:{COFFEE:.02158734144632395,CORN:.008232645172711363,COTTON:.04320921676820366,SOYBEAN:.0036714622235960175,SUGAR:.25680398615582695,WHEAT:.00017592643558262669},unit:"per bushel"}};
Object.entries(obj.data.rates).forEach(([k, v]) => obj.data.rates[k] = 1 / v);
console.log(obj);

I think it will be cleaner to write it explicitly using for loops:

let obj = {} //original object stated in question
let obj2 = Object.create(null);//DON'T just use {}, see below
for(let productName in obj.data.rates){
   let inverse = 1/obj.data.rates[productName];
   //to edit the object directly
   obj.data.rates[productName] = inverse;
   //to add to another object
   obj2[productName] = inverse;
}
