I have two arrays, Array 1 containing the sections, and Array 2 containing the objects, the goal is to insert the objects from Array 2 inside the objects into Array1 depending on the type (Sides or Sauces), for example: Each object from Array 2 containing the element type:Sauces should be set in an array inside the object of Array 1 with type:Sauces and so on. I tried by using the forEach function but since I’m relatively new to JavaScript I don’t know how to proceed
Array 1 (Sections)
Array [
Object {
"required": false,
"type": "Sides",
},
Object {
"required": true,
"type": "Sauces",
},
]
Array 2 (List of Objects)
Array [
Object {
"id": 2.01,
"price": "1",
"title": "Hot Sauce",
"type": "Sauces",
},
Object {
"id": 2.02,
"price": 1,
"title": "Medium Sauce",
"type": "Sauces",
},
Object {
"id": 1.01,
"price": 1,
"title": "Ranch",
"type": "Sides",
},
Object {
"id": 1.02,
"price": 1,
"title": "Blue Cheese",
"type": "Sides",
},
]
this is what I’m trying to achieve:
Array [
Object {
"required": false,
"type": "Sides",
"data": [
Object {
"id": 1.01,
"price": 1,
"title": "Ranch",
"type": "Sides",
},
Object {
"id": 1.02,
"price": 1,
"title": "Blue Cheese",
"type": "Sides",
},
]
},
Object {
"required": true,
"type": "Sauces",
"data":[
Object {
"id": 2.01,
"price": "1",
"title": "Hot Sauce",
"type": "Sauces",
},
Object {
"id": 2.02,
"price": 1,
"title": "Medium Sauce",
"type": "Sauces",
},
]
},
]
>Solution :
this should work for you:
arr1.forEach((a,i) => {
a["data"] = arr2.filter(b => b.type == a.type);
})
