How to get all properties values of a Javascript Object (without knowing the keys)?
20 answers
How can I iterate over a Object using TypeScript and being able to access key and value?
My json object looks something like this:
{
"clients": {
"123abc": {
"Forename": "Simon",
"Surname": "Sample"
},
"456def": {
"Forename": "Charlie",
"Surname": "Brown"
}
}
}
The clients object to be filled is made of client models looking like:
export class ClientModel {
id:string;
forename:string;
surname:string;
constructor(
private id:string,
private forename:string,
private surname:string
) {
this.id = id;
this.forename = forename;
this.surname = surname;
}
}
Given:
var a = {
"clients": {
"123abc": {
"Forename": "Simon",
"Surname": "Sample"
},
"456def": {
"Forename": "Charlie",
"Surname": "Brown"
}
}
};
class ClientModel {
constructor(
private id:string,
private forename:string,
private surname:string
) {}
}
Here is how to get an array of ClientModel
objects:
var clientList: ClientModel[] = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(a.clients)
.map((key: string) => new ClientModel(key, a.clients[key].Forename, a.clients[key].Surname));
...and here how to get a map from string
(id) to ClientModel
:
var clientMap: { [key: string]: ClientModel } = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(a.clients)
.reduce((map: any, key: string) => {
map[key] = new ClientModel(key, a.clients[key].Forename, a.clients[key].Surname);
return map;
}, {});
After the comment from basarat and taking a closer look at Object.keys()
, Object.keys
is more appropriate for use here than Object.getOwnPropertyNames()
. The difference is that the latter returns non-enumerable properties too. It has no practical difference in this particular case, but should make the intent of the code more explicit. Everything else remains the same.
