Get key and value of a JavaScript array into variable
check this snippet
var obj = [{
"1": "one"
}, {
"2": "two"
}]
obj.forEach(function(item) {
Object.keys(item).forEach(function(key) {
console.log("key:" + key + "value:" + item[key]);
});
});
Hope it helps
Use
for-loop
instead offor-in
to iterate array.Use
Object.keys
to get keys ofobject
var arr = [{
one: 'one'
}, {
two: 'two'
}];
for (var i = 0, l = arr.length; i < l; i++) {
var keys = Object.keys(arr[i]);
for (var j = 0, k = keys.length; j < k; j++) {
console.log("Key:" + keys[j] + " Value:" + arr[i][keys[j]]);
}
}
I think you have two main options to get keys of an object using Object.keys
these are: forEach
; or a simple for
.
1. Use forEach
If you're using an environment that supports the Array
features of ES5 (directly or using a shim), you can use the new forEach
:
var myarray = [{one: 'one'}, {two: 'two'}];
myarray.forEach(function(item) {
var items = Object.keys(item);
items.forEach(function(key) {
console.log('this is a key-> ' + key + ' & this is its value-> ' + item[key]);
});
});
forEach
accepts an iterator function and, optionally, a value to use as this
when calling that iterator function (not used above). The iterator function is called for each entry in the array, in order, skipping non-existent entries in sparse arrays. Although
forEach
has the benefit that you don't have to declare indexing and value variables in the containing scope, as they're supplied as arguments to the iteration function, and so nicely scoped to just that iteration.
If you're worried about the runtime cost of making a function call for each array entry, don't be; technical details.
2. Use a simple for
Sometimes the old ways are the best:
var myarray = [{one: 'one'}, {two: 'two'}];
for (var i = 0, l = myarray.length; i < l; i++) {
var items = myarray[i];
var keys = Object.keys(items);
for (var j = 0, k = keys.length; j < k; j++) {
console.log('this is a key-> ' + keys[j] + ' & this is its value-> ' + items[keys[j]]);
}
}
