I am new to QT, QML and JSON. I am trying to write a simple program that saves data into a JSON file. The programs has 3 files:
main.qml has 2 text input fields and 1 button that calls a function in script.js
storage.json {"sets":[{object Object},{object Object}]}
script.js holds this function:
function insertNewSet (name, description){
var newSet = {
setName: "name",
setDescription: "description",
setInput: []
}
var newJson = JSON.stringify(newSet);
}
name and description come from the input fields in main.qml
How can the variable newSet be inserted as a third object in newSet?
example: {"sets":[{object Object},{object Object},{object Object}]}
You need to use ' ' symbols to specify the properties.
These can be called up this way:
var newSet = {
'setName': 'name',
'setDescription': 'description',
'setInput': []
}
var newJson = JSON.stringify(newSet['setName']+newSet['setDescription']+newSet['setInput']);

I am new to both JSON and Postman(as of yesterday).
I'm trying to do something very simple, I've created a GET request which pulls in a list of forms in a JSON response. I want to take this response and get the first "id" token and place it in a variable.
I am using a global variable but would like to use a collection variable if possible. Either way here is what I am doing.
I've tried several things, most recently this:
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setGlobalVariable("id", jsonData.args.id);
As well as this:
pm.test("GetId", function () {
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.globals.set("id", jsonData.id);
});
Response code looks like this:
{
"forms":[
{
"id":"3197239",
"created":"2018-09-18 11:37:39",
"db":"1",
"deleted":"0",
"folder":"151801",
"language":"en",
"name":"Contact Us",
"num_columns":"2",
"submissions":"0",
"submissions_unread":"0",
"updated":"2018-09-18 12:02:13",
"viewkey":"xxxxxx",
"views":"1",
"submissions_today":0,
"url":"https://xxx",
"data_url":"",
"summary_url":"",
"rss_url":"",
"encrypted":false,
"thumbnail_url":null,
"submit_button_title":"Submit Form",
"inactive":false,
"timezone":"US/Eastern",
"permissions":150
},
{
"id":"3197245",
"created":"2018-09-18 11:42:02",
"db":"1",
"deleted":"0",
"folder":"151801",
"language":"en",
"name":"Football Draft",
"num_columns":"1",
"submissions":"0",
"submissions_unread":"0",
"updated":"2018-09-18 12:11:54",
"viewkey":"xxxxxx",
"views":"1",
"submissions_today":0,
"url":"https://xxxxxxxxx",
"data_url":"",
"summary_url":"",
"rss_url":"",
"encrypted":false,
"thumbnail_url":null,
"submit_button_title":"Submit Form",
"inactive":false,
"timezone":"US/Eastern",
"permissions":150
}
]
}
This would get the first id:
pm.globals.set('firstId', _.first(pm.response.json().forms).id)
That would get the first in the array each time so it would set a different variable it that response changed.
The test that you created was nearly there but the reference needed to go down a level into the forms array:
pm.test("GetId", function () {
var jsonData = pm.response.json()
pm.expect(jsonData.forms[0].id).to.equal("3197239")
pm.globals.set("id", jsonData.forms[0].id)
})
The [0]is referencing the first id in the first object within the array. For example [1] would get the second one and so on.
You currently cannot set a collection level variable using the pm.* API - These can only be added manually and referenced using the pm.variables.get('var_name') syntax.
Edit:
In the new versions of the desktop app you can set variables at the Collection level using pm.collectionVariables.set().
Based on the name or any other attribute if you want to set the id as a global variable then this is the way.
for(var i=0; i<jsonData.forms.length; i++)
{
if (jsonData.forms[i].name==="Contact Us")
{
pm.environment.set("id", jsonData.forms[i].id);
}
}
I've a JSON object as below:
let data = [{"grade":"A","batch":"night", "rating":5}, {"grade":"B", "batch":"morning", "rating":6},
{"grade":"C", "batch":"night", "rating":7},
{"grade":"A", "batch":"morning", "rating":8}]
I want to filter json on two properties of object named "grade" and "batch"
How can I do this in javascript?
Here is sample code. you can add the filters object whichever data you want to filter and run the code. The result will be displayed in the console of the window.
You can try running the code snippet for output
function multiFilter(array, filters){
const filterKeys = Object.keys(filters);
// filters all elements passing the criteria
return array.filter((item) => {
// dynamically validate all filter criteria
return filterKeys.every(key => !!~filters[key].indexOf(item[key]));
});
}
let data = [{"grade":"A","batch":"night", "rating":5}, {"grade":"B", "batch":"morning", "rating":6},
{"grade":"C", "batch":"night", "rating":7},
{"grade":"A", "batch":"morning", "rating":8}]
let filters = {
"grade" : ["A", "B"],
"batch" : ["morning"]
};
let filtered = multiFilter(data, filters);
console.log(filtered);
I am using the npm flat package, and arrays/objects are flattened, but object/array keys are surrounded by '' , like in 'task_status.0.data' using the object below.
These specific fields do not get stored into AzureTables - other fields go through, but these are silently ignored. How would I fix this?
var obj1 = {
"studentId": "abc",
"task_status": [
{
"status":"Current",
"date":516760078
},
{
"status":"Late",
"date":1516414446
}
],
"student_plan": "n"
}
Here is how I am using it - simplified code example: Again, it successfully gets written to the table, but does not write the properties that were flattened (see further below):
var flatten = require('flat')
newObj1 = flatten(obj1);
var entGen = azure.TableUtilities.entityGenerator;
newObj1.PartitionKey = entGen.String(uniqueIDFromMyDB);
newObj1.RowKey = entGen.String(uniqueStudentId);
tableService.insertEntity(myTableName, newObj1, myCallbackFunc);
In the above example, the flattened object would look like:
var obj1 = {
studentId: "abc",
'task_status.0.status': 'Current',
'task_status.0.date': 516760078,
'task_status.1.status': 'Late',
'task_status.1.date': 516760078,
student_plan: "n"
}
Then I would add PartitionKey and RowKey.
all the task_status fields would silently fail to be inserted.
EDIT: This does not have anything to do with the actual flattening process - I just checked a perfectly good JSON object, with keys that had 'x.y.z' in it, i.e. AzureTables doesn't seem to accept these column names....which almost completely destroys the value proposition of storing schema-less data, without significant rework.
. in column name is not supported. You can use a custom delimiter to flatten your objects instead.
For example:
newObj1 = flatten(obj1, {delimiter: '__'});
lets say there is customer object, i need to add new element address to this json object customer. how can I achieve this?
Both of these are not altering the customer JSON object
customer['address'] = addressObj
customer.address = addressObj
and I can not use push() as this is not adding a new item in list of objects.
Thanks,
Naren
Maybe your addressObj is not properly formed.
This works for me:
var customer = {"name": "Naren"};
customer.address1 = "stackoverflow";
customer.address2 = {"fulladdress":"stackoverflow"};
JSON.stringify(customer)
Output:
"{"name":"Naren","address1":"stackoverflow","address2":{"fulladdress":"stackoverflow"}}"
Maybe I am not clear on what exactly you want to do but it sounds to me as if you want have a JSON and want to merge it with another JSON, creating just a JSON file.
let Json1 = {'Superman': 'Favorite' };
let Json2 = {'Supergirl': 'Greatest'};
let Json3 = {'IronFist': 'Top 10' };
You now want to add Supergirl (the new element) to Superman (the old element) I assume. Take a look here # merge-json a simple package which does its job well. You would code as follows:
use strict;
var mergeJSON = require("merge-json");
let Json1 = {'Superman': 'Favorite' };
let Json2 = {'Supergirl': 'Greatest'};
let Json3 = {'IronFist': 'Top 10' };
let Json6 = mergeJSON(Json1,Json2);
Json6=mergeJSON(Json6,Json3);
You would end up with as follows:
Json6 = {'Superman': 'Favorite', 'Supergirl': 'Greatest', 'IronFist': 'Top 10'}
This is how I make use of combining JSON information or text information into a JSON file. You can get much more sophisticated with the module mentioned above. (Just do not confuse merge-json with json-merge and other modules.)
If this is not what you are looking for my apologies, then I did not understand the question correctly.
I have the following object structure and for each record I need to display the attribute name and its value. for the following example, I need to display "Name " = xxx. The attribute name can be different for each json response. These are field names of a table so I cann't use hard coded names.
How do I read the attribute value?
I tried var propname = DataInObj.DataSet[0].Record[0].properties[1] but it didn't work. Pls help

Code goes like this:
var dict = { "foo": "a", "bar": "b" };
function showProperties(){
var keys = [];
for(var k in dict) keys.push(k+':'+dict[k]);
Logger.log("total " + keys.length + "\n" + keys.join('\n'));
