I have one array like this one:
array1=[{value:1, label:'value1'},{value:2, label:'value2'}, {value:3, label:'value3'}]
I have a second array of integer :
array2=[1,3]
I would like to obtain this array without a loop for :
arrayResult = ['value1', 'value3']
Does someone know how to do it with javascript ?
Thanks in advance
Map the elements in array2
to the label
property of the element in array1
with the corresponding value
:
array2 // Take array2 and
.map( // map
function(n) { // each element n in it to
return array1 // the result of taking array1
.find( // and finding
function(e) { // elements
return // for which
e.value // the value property
=== // is the same as
n; // the element from array2
}
)
.label // and taking the label property of that elt
;
}
)
;
Without comments, and in ES6:
array.map(n => array1.find(e => e.value === n).label);
You can use .filter
and .map
, like this
var array1 = [
{value:1, label:'value1'},{value:2, label:'value2'}, {value:3, label:'value3'}
];
var array2 = [1, 3];
var arrayResult = array1.filter(function (el) {
return array2.indexOf(el.value) >= 0;
}).map(function (el) {
return el.label;
});
console.log(arrayResult);
A simple for-loop should suffice for this. In the future you should seriously post some code to show what you have tried.
var array1=[{value:1, label:'value1'},{value:2, label:'value2'}, {value:3, label:'value3'}];
var array2=[1,3];
var result = [];
for (var i = 0; i < array2.length; i++){
result.push(array1[array2[i]-1].label);
}
console.log(result); //["value1", "value3"]

Good answers all. If I may suggest one more alternative using Map
as this seems to be suited to a key:value pair solution.
var arr1 = [ {value:1, label:'value1'}, {value:2, label:'value2'}, {value:3, label:'value3'} ];
var arr2 = [1, 3];
// create a Map of the first array making value the key.
var map = new Map( arr1.map ( a => [a.value, a.label] ) );
// map second array with the values of the matching keys
var result = arr2.map( n => map.get ( n ) );
Of course this supposes that the key:value structure of the first array will not become more complex, and could be written in the simpler form of.
var arr1 = [[1,'value1'], [2,'value2'], [3,'value3']]; // no need for names
var arr2 = [1, 3];
var map = new Map( arr1 ); // no need to arr1.map ;
var result = arr2.map( n => map.get ( n ) );
Just index the first array using the _.indexBy function:
var indexedArray1 = _.indexBy(array1, "value");
_.map(array2, function(x) { return indexedArray1[x].label; });
