Updating a JSON object using Javascript
A plain JavaScript solution, assuming jsonObj
already contains JSON:
Loop over it looking for the matching Id, set the corresponding Username, and break
from the loop after the matched item has been modified:
for (var i = 0; i < jsonObj.length; i++) {
if (jsonObj[i].Id === 3) {
jsonObj[i].Username = "Thomas";
break;
}
}
Here it is on jsFiddle.
Here's the same thing wrapped in a function:
function setUsername(id, newUsername) {
for (var i = 0; i < jsonObj.length; i++) {
if (jsonObj[i].Id === id) {
jsonObj[i].Username = newUsername;
return;
}
}
}
// Call as
setUsername(3, "Thomas");
simply iterate over the list then check the properties of each object.
for (var i = 0; i < jsonObj.length; ++i) {
if (jsonObj[i]['Id'] === '3') {
jsonObj[i]['Username'] = 'Thomas';
}
}
$(document).ready(function(){
var jsonObj = [{'Id':'1','Username':'Ray','FatherName':'Thompson'},
{'Id':'2','Username':'Steve','FatherName':'Johnson'},
{'Id':'3','Username':'Albert','FatherName':'Einstein'}];
$.each(jsonObj,function(i,v){
if (v.Id == 3) {
v.Username = "Thomas";
return false;
}
});
alert("New Username: " + jsonObj[2].Username);
});
