Create an array of JavaScript objects from an exis

Question

my first time posting a question here, so please let me know if I'm missing any information that is needed. Updated to include desired output.

I'm working on a google app script (basically javascript) and am trying to pull objects from an array of objects and create a new array of objects. I'm using the google base functions for getRowData (these can be found at : https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/sheets) to create my initial array of objects. This gives me a row of data similar (A JIRA export if anyone is wondering, with information cut):

{summary=Internal - Fix PuppetFile Jenkins Jobs, progress=1.0, issueType=Story, resolution=Done, timeSpent=3600.0, key=XXXXX-646, watchers=0.0, remainingEstimate=0.0, numberOfComments=1.0, status=Resolved, assignee=XXXXXXXX}

When I run my function:

for (var i = 0; i < issueList.length; i++){

rankList[i] = [issueList[i].summary,issueList[i].storyPoints,issueList[i].epicLink,issueList[i].fixVersions];
}

I get:

[Internal - Fix PuppetFile Jenkins Jobs, 3.0, null, null]

But what I want is:

{summary=Internal - Fix PuppetFile Jenkins Jobs, storyPoints=1.0, epicLink=StoryName, fixVersions=Done}

I'm not getting the key for the value, and I don't understand how the objects are constructed quite well enough to get it to transfer over. I looked at some examples of manipulating the key/value pairs but when I tried it on my own I just got a bunch of undefined. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Answer 1

What you want is probably something like this:

rankList = [];
for (var i = 0; i < issueList.length; i++) {
    issue = issueList[i];
    rankList.push({
        summary: issue.summary,
        storyPoints: issue.progress,
        epicLink: issue.IDONTKNOW,
        fixVersions: issue.resolution
    });
}

I don't know what field goes in epicLink, since it wasn't obvious from your example. And I was just guessing about the other fields. But this is the general structure, you just need to make all the correct correspondences.

Use jquery each instead it's much easier to get the keys and value at the same time:

var myarray = [];

$.each(issueList,function(key,value){
  console.log(key);
  console.log(value);

  value.key = key;

  myarray.push(value);
});

console.log(myarray);
