flattening nested arrays/objects in underscore.js

Question

I have an array of objects as shown below (although the example below has just one element in the array)

[
    {
        "uptime":0,
        "load":{"x":0.11,"y":0.22,"z":0.33},
        "cpu":[
            {"u":111,"n":112,"s":113,"i":114,"q":115}, 
            {"u":211,"n":212,"s":213,"i":214,"q":215}
        ]
    }
]

Im trying to flatten out each element using underscore.js, so the overall array looks like this:

[
    {
        "uptime":0,

        "load_x": 0.11
        "load_y": 0.03
        "load_z": 0.01,

        "cpu1_u": 111,
        "cpu1_n": 112,
        "cpu1_s": 113,
        "cpu1_i": 114,
        "cpu1_q": 115,

        "cpu2_u": 211,
        "cpu2_n": 212,
        "cpu2_s": 213,
        "cpu2_i": 214,
        "cpu2_q": 215,
    }
]

I've got the 'load' element sorted (albeit not generically), since thats just a known 3 field object.

Flattening the cpu array alludes me though. My code is below, along with the output my code is generating

I know I could just write a js loop and be done with it, but Ive seen some very elegant underscore solutions like this, and Im sure its possible. Any advice please?

My Code

var profiles = [
    {
        "uptime":0,
        "load":{"x":0.11,"y":0.22,"z":0.33},
        "cpu":[
            {"u":111,"n":112,"s":113,"i":114,"q":115}, 
            {"u":211,"n":212,"s":213,"i":214,"q":215}
        ]
    }
];

var flat = _.map(profiles, function(profile) {
        var p = _.extend(_.omit(profile, 'load'), {
            load_1: Math.round(100*profile.load.x)/100, 
            load_5: Math.round(100*profile.load.y)/100, 
            load_15: Math.round(100*profile.load.z)/100
        });

        var cpuid = 0;
        var cpuobject =
            _.map(p.cpu, function(cpu) {
                cpuid++;
                return _.object(
                    _.map(cpu, function(val, key) {
                        var arr = ['cpu'+cpuid+'_'+key, val];
                        return arr;
                    })
                );
            });
        return _.extend(_.omit(p, 'cpu'), cpuobject);
    });

console.log(JSON.stringify(flat));

My (Wrong) Output

[
    {
        0: {
            cpu1_u: 233264700,
            cpu1_n: 0,
            cpu1_s: 64485200,
            cpu1_i: 1228073616,
            cpu1_q: 86100
        },
        1: {
            cpu2_u: 233264700,
            cpu2_n: 0,
            cpu2_s: 64485200,
            cpu2_i: 1228073616,
            cpu2_q: 86100
        },
        uptime: 0,
        load_1: 0.11,
        load_5: 0.03,
        load_15: 0.01
    }
]

Answer 1

For example:

flatten = function(x, result, prefix) {
    if(_.isObject(x)) {
        _.each(x, function(v, k) {
            flatten(v, result, prefix ? prefix + '_' + k : k)
        })
    } else {
        result[prefix] = x
    }
    return result
}


a =
{
    "uptime":0,
    "load":{"x":0.11,"y":0.22,"z":0.33},
    "cpu":[
        {"u":111,"n":112,"s":113,"i":114,"q":115},
        {"u":211,"n":212,"s":213,"i":214,"q":215}
    ]
}


result = flatten(a, {})
