Question

In the object below, I’d like to change the property name, thumb, to thumbnail. I’d also like to change the values of the title to include <span> tags.

Here’s my object:

var data = [{
    thumb: '/images/01.png',
    title: 'My title',
},{
    thumb: '/images/02.png',
    title: 'My title',
},{
    thumb: '/images/03.png',
    title: 'My title',
}];

here’s how I’d like it to look:

var data = [{
    thumbnail: '/images/01.png',
    title: '<span class="red">title 1</span>',
},{
    thumbnail: '/images/02.png',
    title: '<span class="red">title 2</span>',
},{
    thumbnail: '/images/03.png',
    title: '<span class="red">title 3</span>',
}];

Here’s what I’ve tried which doesn’t work:

 var i=0, count=data.length;
   for (i=0;i<=count;i++){
    data[i].thumbnail=data[i].thumb;
    data[i].title="<span class='red'>"+data[i].title+"<span>";
   }

Answer 1

This seems to do the trick:

function changeData(data){
    var title;
    for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
        if(data[i].hasOwnProperty("thumb")){
            data[i]["thumbnail"] = data[i]["thumb"];
            delete data[i]["thumb"];
        }

        if(data[i].hasOwnProperty("title")){ //added missing closing parenthesis
            title = data[i].title;
            data[i].title = '<span class="red">' + title + '</span>';
        }
    }
}

changeData(data);

EDIT:

I tried to make the function generic, but since you updated your answer to do very specific things, I’ve added the business logic to the function.
