Question

Does anyone know how to modify the labels in a JSON Array?

Lets say my array is:

[{"Device_ID":"43","Image":"Amazon-Kindle-Fire.png","Manufacturer":"Amazon","Model":"Kindle Fire","Type":"Tablet"},{"Device_ID":"43","Image":"Apple-iPad.png","Manufacturer":"Apple","Model":"iPad","Type":"Tablet"}]

How can I manipulate it so that Device_ID becomes label and the combination of Manufacturer and Model becomes values?

This is required for the jquery autocomplete and I am unable to modify the current JSON Array at source

UPDATE:

Currently attempting this way with no success:

$(function() {
    var availableTags = <?php echo json_encode($results); ?>;
    var john = availableTags.forEach(function(v){v.Device_ID = v.Manufacturer + v.Model});
    $("#search_input").autocomplete({
        source: john;
    }); 
});

Answer 1

try that:

o = [{"Device_ID":"43","Image":"Amazon-Kindle-Fire.png","Manufacturer":"Amazon","Model":"Kindle Fire","Type":"Tablet"},{"Device_ID":"43","Image":"Apple iPad.png","Manufacturer":"Apple","Model":"iPad","Type":"Tablet"}]
o.forEach(function(v){v.Device_ID = v.Manufacturer + " " + v.Model})

it will loop for every object in the array and assign the id to the combination you need.
