got this json file:

Which I successfully fetch in a factory:
factory('getJson', ['$resource', function($resource) {
return $resource('json/vegs.json', {}, {
query: {method:'GET', isArray:true}
});
}]);
in my Controller I can get the json's file content:
var vegs = getJson.query();
$scope.vegs = vegs;
console.log(vegs)
console.log(typeof vegs)
The weird part is the first console.log produces an array of objects, as expected.
The second console says it's an "object", and not an array.
I can get the .json content to my view using {{vegs}}, and I can use ng-repeat as well, tho in the controller I can't do vegs[0] or vegs.length. It comes out empty.
I'm breaking my head on this for over 3 hours now :)
This isn't an 'answer'. Just an observation on one part of your issue. (Sorry, can't comment yet...new to stackoverflow).
Just a note on your comment that "The second console says it's an "object", and not an array." Using typeof on an array will always return "object".
There are various (and debated, it seems) ways to test if it's an array--Array.isArray(obj) for example.

While parsing JSON in Azure Logic App in my array I can get single or multiple values/objects (Box as shown in below example)
Both type of inputs are correct but when only single object is coming then it is throwing an error "Invalid type. Expected Array but got Object "
Input 1 (Throwing error) : -
{
"MyBoxCollection":
{
"Box":{
"BoxName": "Box 1"
}
}
}
Input 2 (Working Fine) : -
{
"MyBoxCollection":
[
{
"Box":{
"BoxName": "Box 1"
},
"Box":{
"BoxName": "Box 2"
}
}]
}
JSON Schema :

I used to use the trick of injecting a couple of dummy rows in the resultset as suggested by the other posts, but I recently found a better way. Kudos to Thomas Prokov for providing the inspiration in his NETWORG blog post.
The JSON parse schema accepts multiple choices as type, so simply replace
"type": "array"
with
"type": ["array","object"]
and your parse step will happily parse either an array or a single value (or no value at all).
You may then need to identify which scenario you're in: 0, 1 or multiple records in the resultset? I'm pasting below how you can create a variable (ResultsetSize) which takes one of 3 values (rs_0, rs_1 or rs_n) for your switch:
"Initialize_ResultsetSize": {
"inputs": {
"variables": [
{
"name": "ResultsetSize",
"type": "string",
"value": "rs_n"
}
]
},

For this problem, I met another stack overflow post which is similar to this problem. While there is one "Box", it will be shown as {key/value pair} but not [array] when we convert it to json format. I think it is caused by design, so maybe we can just add a record "Box" at the source of your xml data such as:
<Box>specific_test</Box>
And do some operation to escape the "specific_test" in the next steps.
Another workaround for your reference:
If your json data has only one array, we can use it to do a judgment. We can judge the json data if it contains "[" character. If it contains "[", the return value is the index of the "[" character. If not contains, the return value is -1.
The expression shows as below:
indexOf('{"MyBoxCollection":{"Box":[aaa,bbb]}}', '[')
The screenshot above is the situation when it doesn't contain "[", it return -1.
Then we can add a "If" condition. If >0, do "Parse JSON" with one of the schema. If =-1, do "Parse JSON" with the other schema.
Hope it would be helpful to your problem~
We faced a similar issue. The only solution we find is by manipulating the XML before conversion. We updated XML nodes which needs to be an array even when we have single element using this. We used a Azure function to update the required XML attributes and then returned the XML for conversion in Logic Apps. Hope this helps someone.
I want to validate a Nested JSON Schema in Postman.
Here is the code.
const testSchema = {
"name": [
{
"first_name": "Alpha",
"last_name": "Bravo"
},
{
"first_name": "Charlie",
"last_name": "Delta"
},
],
"age": "23",
"color": "black"
};
const showData = {
"required": ["name", "age"],
"properties": {
"name": [
{
"required": ["first_name"]
}
],
},
};
pm.test("Nested Schema Test", function () {
pm.expect(tv4.validate(testSchema, showData)).to.be.true;
});
Currently, this code returns test as true.
I am unable to test the "name" array objects' keys.
Even upon passing this:
"required": ["fst_nae"] //wrong key name
it returns true.
I would just check in easy way via:
pm.test("your name", function () {
pm.expect(testSchema.name[0].first_name && testSchema.name[1].first_name
).to.eql('Alpha' && 'Charlie')
});
and you successfully validated these fields
or use this expect to organize your code of your choice
tiny validator i.e. tv4.validate is having issues in their library. Another option is to use AJV (you can search it on github).
I am using mongoose as JSON Schema and node.js with it. Need not say, I am new to both. I have been struggling through the day to get this thing work for me but couldn't. Finally, the only solution was to get help from some real nice people out here.
Here is my schema definition -
UserName = {
"properties": {
userURL: {
"description": "URL of this resource",
"type": "string"
},
userName : {
"description": "UserName",
"type": "string",
"required": true
},
}
}
When I make a get call to it, it returns the response in following format -
[
{
"_id": "54c5ede55c82c4bd6abee50a",
"__v": 0,
"properties": {
"userURL": "http://localhost:3000/54c1d6ae441ae900151a6520",
"userName ": "testUser"
}
}
]
Now my requirement is to return the response in following format -
[
{
"_id": "54c5ede55c82c4bd6abee50a",
"userURL": "http://localhost:3000/54c1d6ae441ae900151a6520",
"userName ": "testUser"
}
]
i.e without version and properties tags. I am able to get away with version using following code but properties seems to be tricky thing -
.get(function(request, response) {
UserSchemaModel.find().select('properties.userURL properties.userName').exec (function (err, resObj) {
if (err)
response.send(err);
else{
response.json(resObj);
}
});
});
But it still has properties field :( -
[
{
"_id": "54c5ede55c82c4bd6abee50a",
"properties": {
"userURL": "http://localhost:3000/54c1d6ae441ae900151a6520",
"userName ": "testUser"
}
}
]
I did some google around select as, alias name in select,population in mongoose but no luck.
Kindly suggest. With best Regards.
Just make a new object
response.json(
{
"_id": resObj["_id"],
"userURL": resObj["properties"]["userUrl"],
"userName": resObj["properties"]["userName"]
}
);
Update: Since resObj is an array (as per your comment), you can use Array.prototype.map() to transform them into the right format like so:
response.json( resObj.map(function(o){
return {
"_id": o["_id"],
"userURL": o["properties"]["userUrl"],
"userName": o["properties"]["userName"]
};
})
);
This will return a list of transformed objects that then get passed into the response.json() method.
I am using loopjs tokeninput in a View. In this scenario I need to prePopulate the control with AdminNames for a given Distributor.
Code Follows :
$.getJSON("#Url.Action("SearchCMSAdmins")", function (data) {
var json=eval("("+data+")"); //doesnt work
var json = {
"users": [
eval("("+data+")") //need help in this part
]
}
});
$("#DistributorCMSAdmin").tokenInput("#Url.Action("SearchWithName")", {
theme: "facebook",
preventDuplicates: true,
prePopulate: json.users
});
There is successful return of json values to the below function. I need the json in the below format:
var json = {
"users":
[
{ "id": "1", "name": "USER1" },
{ "id": "2", "name": "USER2" },
{ "id": "3", "name": "USER3" }
]
}
I have been trying to access/parse the “message” object found in the JSON results hereafter, issued by the Facebook Graph API, using the Javascript JQuery $.each(function()) Function but without success. I am able to access the “name” object, but not the objects found in the statuses=>data array. I have tried a multitude of syntaxes, but without success. I was wondering if one could provide a syntactical example using the Javascript JQuery $.each(function()) Function of how I could access the “message” object. As you will notice, the “message” objects are found under the following structure: results=>friends=>data array=>statuses=>data array=>message.
{
"id": "idValue",
"friends": {
"data": [
{
"name": "NameValue",
"id": "idValue",
"statuses": {
"data": [
{
"message": "Msg1",
"updated_time": "Date",
},
{
"message": "Msg2",
"updated_time": "Date",
},
],
}
},
{
"name": "NameValue",
"id": "idValue",
"statuses": {
"data": [
{
"message": "Msg1",
"updated_time": "Date",
},
{
"message": "Msg2",
"updated_time": "Date",
},
],
}
}
],
}
}
Assuming that that block is stored in response:
console.log(response);
$.each(response.friends.data, function(i, friend){
console.log(friend);
$.each(friend.statuses, function(i, status){
console.log(status);
});
});
Un-tested, but it should work. It helps to console.log along the way to be sure what you're looking at. See the log in the inspector in Chrome or Firefox
