Get nested object values and put it on a table header












1














In the following stackblitz sample. I have the following data:



My table is displaying what I want, As you can see inside the timeline object the "start" values are exactly the same as the ones inside the aval array



Therefore, is there anyway I can display those table headers without the timeline object? (using filter, reduce or Array.from) Maybe I can loop to that very nested aval array and get them as an individual array kinda like



"aval" = ["11-19", "11-20", "11-21", "11-22"]


I'm using filter but getting nowhere so far.



DATA:



{
"timeline": {
"timeline_values": [{
"tag": 0,
"start": "11-19"
},
{
"tag": 1,
"start": "11-20"
},
{
"tag": 2,
"start": "11-21"
},
{
"tag": 3,
"start": "11-22"
}
]
},
"employees": [{
"EmployeeID": "56250f",

Assuming you wanted the aval list from employee list, you can try a combination of map and reduce




  • Map to create arrays of array which will have all start aval values for a particular employee employee -> aval -> start


  • Reduce to flatten the array of arrays


  • Finally use ES6 Set to pick unique values.






const employees = [{
"EmployeeID": "56250f",
"FirstName": "Downs",
"aval": [{
"start": "11-19",
"end": "2",
"ava": "30",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-20",
"end": "2",
"ava": "40",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-21",
"end": "2",
"ava": "50",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-22",
"end": "2",
"ava": "60",
"health": "4"
}
]
},
{
"EmployeeID": "56250f",
"FirstName": "Mckenzie",
"aval": [{
"start": "11-19",
"end": "2",
"ava": "1",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-20",
"end": "2",
"ava": "2",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-21",
"end": "2",
"ava": "3",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-22",
"end": "2",
"ava": "4",
"health": "4"
}
]
}, {
"EmployeeID": "56250f",
"FirstName": "Charles",
"aval": [{
"start": "11-19",
"end": "2",
"ava": "100",
"health": "4"

{
"start": "11-20",
"end": "2",
"ava": "200",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-21",
"end": "2",
"ava": "300",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-22",
"end": "2",
"ava": "400",
"health": "4"
}
]
}
]

const mappedAvals = employees.map(emp => emp.aval.map(av => av.start));
console.log("************* MAPPED AVALS **************");
console.log(mappedAvals);
console.log("************* MAPPED AVALS **************");

const flattenedAvals = mappedAvals.reduce((acc, aval) => [...acc, ...aval], );

console.log("************* FLATTENED AVALS **************");
console.log(flattenedAvals);
console.log("************* FLATTENED AVALS **************");

const distinctAvals = [...(new Set(flattenedAvals))];

console.log("************* DISTINCT AVALS **************");
console.log(distinctAvals);
console.log("************* DISTINCT AVALS **************");

  • Trying out multiple examples like adding a list of numbers, counting the occurrences of characters, merging lists etc will definitely get you started but sorry, I am not aware of any particular good sources. The way you use the accumulator argument is the key to reduce method IMHO.

You can also use flatMap (if it's supported) and a Set:



const aval = [...new Set(employees.flatMap(e => e.aval.map(a => a.start)))];





const employees = [{
"EmployeeID": "56250f",
"FirstName": "Downs",
"aval": [{
"start": "11-19",
"end": "2",
"ava": "30",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-20",
"end": "2",
"ava": "40",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-21",
"end": "2",
"ava": "50",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-22",
"end": "2",
"ava": "60",
"health": "4"
}
]
},
{
"EmployeeID": "56250f",
"FirstName": "Mckenzie",
"aval": [{
"start": "11-19",
"end": "2",
"ava": "1",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-20",
"end": "2",
"ava": "2",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-21",
"end": "2",
"ava": "3",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-22",
"end": "2",
"ava": "4",
"health": "4"
}
]
}, {
"EmployeeID": "56250f",
"FirstName": "Charles",
"aval": [{
"start": "11-19",
"end": "2",
"ava": "100",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-20",
"end": "2",
"ava": "200",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-21",
"end": "2",
"ava": "300",
"health": "4"
},
{
"start": "11-22",
"end": "2",
"ava": "400",
"health": "4"
}
]
}
]

const aval = [...new Set(employees.flatMap(e => e.aval.map(a => a.start)))];
console.log(aval);

    This solution is much cleaner and it works , however there is a couple of things to consider. First, in Angular/ typescript, I have to change the data type of employees from any to any, which sometimes cannot be ideal. Also according to mdn IE and EDGE don't support it. they provide an alternative with reduce and concat tho.
    – brohymn
    Nov 23 at 15:41












  • @brohymn as for your second point about IE and Edge, the Typescript you write in your angular app is transpiled to Javascript that should work in all browsers: angular.io/guide/typescript-configuration

Assuming you wanted the aval list from employee list, you can try a combination of map and reduce




  • Map to create arrays of array which will have all start aval values for a particular employee employee -> aval -> start


  • Reduce to flatten the array of arrays


  • Finally use ES6 Set to pick unique values.






const employees = [{

  • Trying out multiple examples like adding a list of numbers, counting the occurrences of characters, merging lists etc will definitely get you started but sorry, I am not aware of any particular good sources. The way you use the accumulator argument is the key to reduce method IMHO.

You can also use flatMap (if it's supported) and a Set:



const aval = [...new Set(employees.flatMap(e => e.aval.map(a => a.start)))];





const employees = [{

"aval": [{
"start": "11-19",

"ava": "30",

    This solution is much cleaner and it works , however there is a couple of things to consider. First, in Angular/ typescript, I have to change the data type of employees from any to any, which sometimes cannot be ideal. Also according to mdn IE and EDGE don't support it. they provide an alternative with reduce and concat tho.

  • @brohymn as for your second point about IE and Edge, the Typescript you write in your angular app is transpiled to Javascript that should work in all browsers: angular.io/guide/typescript-configuration

  • @brohymn as for your second point about IE and Edge, the Typescript you write in your angular app is transpiled to Javascript that should work in all browsers: angular.io/guide/typescript-configuration

    This solution is much cleaner and it works , however there is a couple of things to consider. First, in Angular/ typescript, I have to change the data type of employees from any to any, which sometimes cannot be ideal. Also according to mdn IE and EDGE don't support it. they provide an alternative with reduce and concat tho.
