Im trying to build in Javascript a Table of Nutritional Values, Quantity and Daily Percentage.
I’ve saved JSON data in this way:
data : [
{
"recipe": {
"totalNutrients": {
"ENERC_KCAL": {
"label": "Energy",
"quantity": 122.67497750000001,
"unit": "kcal"
},
"K": {
"label": "Potassium",
"quantity": 255.9084202548212,
"unit": "mg"
},
"FAT": {
"label": "Fat",
"quantity": 11.89368915,
"unit": "g"
},
"ZN": {
"label": "Zinc",
"quantity": 0.328366321935265,
"unit": "mg"
},
"FIBTG": {
"label": "Fiber",
"quantity": 3.609618250000001,
"unit": "g"
},
"SUGAR": {
"label": "Sugars",
"quantity": 0.5078356,
"unit": "g"
}
}
}
}]
I want to get ENERC_KCAL, FAT and the others values in the array "KEYS" from JSON data.
keys = ['ENERC_KCAL', 'FAT', 'CHOCDF', 'FITBG', 'SUGAR', 'PROCNT', 'CHOLE', 'NA'];
valNut = data[0].recipe.totalNutrients;
Is there a way to accomplish the following instruction:
energyValue = valNut.ENERC_KCAL.quantity + ' ' + valNut.ENERC_KCAL.unit
using instead the values of the array in a loop?
for(h=0; h<keys.length; h++){
energyValue = valNut.keys[h].quantity + ' ' + valNut.keys[h].unit
}
P.S. Sorry for the bad english.
>Solution :
To do what you require you could loop through the keys using map() to build a new array of the matching totalNutrients key objects. Something like this:
let data = [{recipe:{totalNutrients:{ENERC_KCAL:{label:"Energy",quantity:122.67497750000001,unit:"kcal"},K:{label:"Potassium",quantity:255.9084202548212,unit:"mg"},FAT:{label:"Fat",quantity:11.89368915,unit:"g"},ZN:{label:"Zinc",quantity:.328366321935265,unit:"mg"},FIBTG:{label:"Fiber",quantity:3.609618250000001,unit:"g"},SUGAR:{label:"Sugars",quantity:.5078356,unit:"g"}}}}];
let keys = ['ENERC_KCAL', 'FAT', 'CHOCDF', 'FITBG', 'SUGAR', 'PROCNT', 'CHOLE', 'NA'];
let filteredNutrientData = keys.map(key => data[0].recipe.totalNutrients[key]).filter(v => v);
console.log(filteredNutrientData);
Note that the final .filter(v => v) is to remove the undefined values resulting from searching for a non-existent key in the totalNutrients object.
