Question

I am facing some trouble with loops, objects

I have json like this;

var jsonPermission = {"permissions": [
                            {"permissionId": 1, "permissionName": "Admin Permission", "roleDesc": "This is an Admin Permission"},
                            {"permissionId": 2, "permissionName": "Manager Permission", "roleDesc": "This is a Manager Permission"},
                            {"permissionId": 3, "permissionName": "User Permission", "roleDesc": "This is a user Permission"}
                        ]
                    };

And I have to make object like this;

[
    { data: "Admin Permission",        type: ["permission"] },
    { data: "Manager Permission",        type: ["permission"] },
    { data: "User Permission",      type: ["permission"] }
]

So I used following code;

//For Permissions
var permissions_len = jsonPermission.permissions.length;
var arr_permissions = [];
var permission_type = ["permission"];
for(var i=0;i<permissions_len;i++){
    var obj_permissions = {};
    obj_permissions["data"] = jsonPermission.permissions[i].permissionName;
    obj_permissions["type"] = permission_type;
    arr_permissions.push(obj_permissions);
}

But instead I am getting like this:

[
    { data: "Admin Permission",        type: [1] },
    { data: "Manager Permission",        type: [1] },
    { data: "User Permission",      type: [1] }
]

How to perform?

Answer 1

How about:

obj_permissions["type"] = [ permission_type[0] ];

instead of:

obj_permissions["type"] = permission_type;

See the difference? You’re working with arrays.

[EDIT: actually there isn’t much difference, but this still clarifies. See comments.]
