My scenario is where i will upload a text file contain data like this
a1,b1,,c1,d1,
a2,b2,,c2,d2,
From the data, i able read and split it with ("\n") and result is
array=[array[0]:[a1,b1,,c1,d1]
array[1]:[a2,b2,,c2,d2]]
How can i populate the array above into my array object?
sample output:
newarray=[[name="a1",age:"b2",address="",contact="c1",gender="d1"],
[name="a2",age:"b2",address="",contact="c2",gender="d2"]]
As the position of each attribute in the array seems to be fixed, i would just create a function with a fixed assignment. Like this:
var str = "a1,b1,,c1,d1,\na2,b2,,c2,d2,";
var objects = parseString(str);
console.log(objects);
function parseString(strIn){
var objectList = [];
var splitResult = strIn.split("\n");
for(var i=0;i<splitResult.length;i++){
var valueArray = splitResult[0].split(",");
objectList.push(mapToObject(valueArray));
}
return objectList;
}
function mapToObject(array){
return {
name: array[0],
age:array[1],
address: array[2],
contact: array[3],
gender:array[4]
};
}
function arrToObj(arr){
var newArr = [];
arr.forEach(function(value,index){
obj = {};
obj.name = value[0];
obj.age = value[1];
obj.contact = value[2];
newArr.push(obj);
});
return newArr;
}
