Hi I have the following object:
{
"position": {
"json": {
"left": "57px",
"top": "79px"
}
},
}
It contains several other keys like size etc...
How can I get rid of the "json" without deleting the inner content so that my result looks like
{
"position": {
"left": "57px",
"top": "79px"
},
}
I need a way to remove every key that has a string "json" as content without removing the containing objects.
Here's a possible fix, update the object with contents of json as a direct value pair using Object.assign(object,thingToUpdate) and then delete the json key:
let objects = {
"position": {
"json": {
"left": "57px",
"top": "79px"
}
},
"size": {
"json": {
"left": "57px",
"top": "79px"
}
}
}
function removeJSONString(obj) {
// store all keys of this object for later use
let keys = Object.keys(obj);
// for each key update the "json" key
keys.map(key => {
// updates only if it has "json"
if (obj[key].hasOwnProperty("json")) {
// assign the current obj a new field with "json" value pair
Object.assign(obj[key], obj[key]["json"]);
// delete "json" key from this object
delete obj[key]["json"];
}
})
// updated all fields of obj
return obj;
}
console.log(removeJSONString(objects));
