Question

I have a javascript json result list – self.data.allOrganizationsList

self.data.allOrganizationsList contains list of organization whose properties are

customentityaccess, id, isLabsAccessAllowed, memberCount, organizationname, organizationwebsite

i want to access an organization object which has
id = 402881702121fec10121520080930001

I am trying to get this from the below statement, but since each item in the list is an object, i am unable to get the desired result.

self.data.allOrganizationsList.id['402881702121fec10121520080930001']`
//(or)
self.data.allOrganizationsList["id"]['402881702121fec10121520080930001']

Other alternative is to use the $.each(self.data.allOrganizationList, function(index, item)).

But can i achieve the above result without iterating the – self.data.allOrganizationList

From the $.grept()

var myvar = $.grep(response.permissionedOrganizations, function(v) {
            return v.id === '40288170227c142201227eb56c5c000a';
        })[0];
console.log(myvar);

displays undefined in console. Am i missing something.

Answer 1

With your structure, you want $.grep to filter out the correct element:

var arr = [
  {id: 1, value: 2},
  {id: 3, value: 4}
];

$.grep(arr, function(v) { return v.id === 3; })[0];  // second element

Note that this does iterating behind the scenes – there’s not a way to get the correct element by using [key] notation as that’s not how your structure is defined.
