This is a nice evening project, but actually i'm stuck with some headache.
All I need is a function like this example:
result = set("itemCategories[0].items[0].name", "Test")
which should return:
{ itemCategories: [
{
items: [ {name: "Test"} ]
}
}]
...and in case of the given attribute "itemCategories[1].items[2].name" this result:
{ itemCategories: [
null,
{
items: [
null,
null,
{name: "Test"}
]
}
}]
Use lodash#set:
result = lodash.set({}, "itemCategories[0].items[0].name", "Test")
If you are asking about the vanilla JavaScript Set method then you could do this.
/* this is what you are trying to get.
{ itemCategories: [
{
items: [ {name: "Test"} ]
}
}]
*/
var mySet = new Set(); // your set object.
Create your data (number, text, string, object, array, null).
ver data1 = 365;
ver data2 = 'Dragonfly';
ver data3 = {name: 'Bobby', age: 20000, job: 'dj'};
Then you just add to that set using its add method.
mySet.add(data1);
mySet.add(data2);
mySet.add(data3);
So to get what you are looking for you would write this.
var itms = {items: [{name: 'test'}]};
mySet.add(itms);
The good thing about set is that is like an array. So you can use forEach.
mySet.forEach( function(val){
console.log(val); // gets all your data.
});
You can even check if a value is in your data using the has method.
mySet.has(365); // true
mySet.has(36500000); as false
