arrays and objects in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript array

//create an array like so:
var colors = ["red","blue","green"];

//you can loop through an array like this:
for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) {
    console.log(colors[i]);
}

Example 2: array of objects javascript

var widgetTemplats = [
    {
        name: 'compass',
        LocX: 35,
        LocY: 312
    },
    {
        name: 'another',
        LocX: 52,
        LocY: 32
    }
]

Example 3: create array of objects javascript

let products = [
  {
    name: "chair",
    inventory: 5,
    unit_price: 45.99
  },
  {
    name: "table",
    inventory: 10,
    unit_price: 123.75
  },
  {
    name: "sofa",
    inventory: 2,
    unit_price: 399.50
  }
];
function listProducts(prods) {
  let product_names = [];
  for (let i=0; i<prods.length; i+=1) {
   product_names.push(prods[i].name);
  }
  return product_names;
}
console.log(listProducts(products));
function totalValue(prods) {
  let inventory_value = 0;
  for (let i=0; i<prods.length; i+=1) {
    inventory_value += prods[i].inventory * prods[i].unit_price;
  }
  return inventory_value;
}
console.log(totalValue(products));

Example 4: javascript array read object value in array

var events = [
  {
    userId: 1,
    place: "Wormholes Allow Information to Escape Black Holes",
    name: "Check out this recent discovery about workholes",
    date: "2020-06-26T17:58:57.776Z",
    id: 1
  },
  {
    userId: 1,
    place: "Wormholes Allow Information to Escape Black Holes",
    name: "Check out this recent discovery about workholes",
    date: "2020-06-26T17:58:57.776Z",
    id: 2
  },
  {
    userId: 1,
    place: "Wormholes Allow Information to Escape Black Holes",
    name: "Check out this recent discovery about workholes",
    date: "2020-06-26T17:58:57.776Z",
    id: 3
  }
];
console.log(events[0].place);

Example 5: js arrays

// Making an array:
const colors = ["red", "orange", "yellow"];

// Arrays are indexed like strings:
colors[0]; // "red"

// They have a length:
colors.length; //3

// Important array methods:
//push(value) - adds value to the END of an array
//pop() - removes and returns last value in array

//unshift(val) - adds value to START of an array
//shift() - removes and returns first element in an array

Example 6: javascript get array value

var array = []
array[0] = "hi"
array[1] = "dude"
var done = false
while (done == false){
var valueToFind = "hi";
  var rounds = array.length;
  if (rounds < 0){
  return false
  }
  if (array[rounds] == valueToFind){
  done = true
    return rounds
  }
  rounds = rounds - 1
}
