How to create an array of object literals in a loop?
I need to create an array of object literals like this:
var myColumnDefs = [
{key:"label", sortable:true, resizeable:true},
{key:"notes", sortable:true,resizeable:true},......
In a loop like this:
for (var i = 0; i < oFullResponse.results.length; i++) {
console.log(oFullResponse.results[i].label);
}
The value of key
should be results[i].label
in each element of the array.
Solution 1:
var arr = [];
var len = oFullResponse.results.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
arr.push({
key: oFullResponse.results[i].label,
sortable: true,
resizeable: true
});
}
Solution 2:
RaYell's answer is good - it answers your question.
It seems to me though that you should really be creating an object keyed by labels with sub-objects as values:
var columns = {};
for (var i = 0; i < oFullResponse.results.length; i++) {
var key = oFullResponse.results[i].label;
columns[key] = {
sortable: true,
resizeable: true
};
}
// Now you can access column info like this.
columns['notes'].resizeable;
The above approach should be much faster and idiomatic than searching the entire object array for a key for each access.
Solution 3:
You can do something like that in ES6.
new Array(10).fill().map((e,i) => {
return {idx: i}
});
