I wonder if there is a more elegant way of doing this. Suppose i have an array of objects like this:
a = [
{
"id": "kpi02",
"value": 10
},
{
"id": "kpi02",
"value": 30
},
{
"id": "kpi02",
"value": 11
},
{
"id": "kpi02",
"value": 33
},
{
"id": "kpi03",
"value": 1
},
{
"id": "kpi03",
"value": 0.5
},
{
"id": "kpi04",
"value": 0.5
}
]
Now i want to filter on the id
property, to return all objects with a match in another array
var kpis = ["kpi03", "kpi02"];
I came up with this solution:
var b = [];
for (j in kpis) {
for (i in a) {
if (a[i].id == kpis[j]) {
b.push(a[i]);
}
}
}
Coming from R, this seems a bit complicated, is there any way to do that with the filter
prototype? Like this but with an array of strings to compare with instead of a single string:
var b = a.filter( function(item){return (item.id == "kpi03");} );
Thanks a lot!
