如何通过JSON文件中的属性在Vue.js中生成唯一ID？

Question

I am using Vue.js to generate divs and I would like to use data from a JSON file to do so.

It doesn't necessarily have to be from the JSON but that would be preferable, I just need to create a unique id for each instance of the div in the html below.

What is the best way to create unique ID's for each of the divs?

HTML

 <ul>
    <li v-for="(member, index) in cyclists" :key="index" class="col-md-4 inview fromBottomIn" data-in="fromBottomIn" data-out="fromBottomOut">
        <div class="cycling__card">
            <div class="cycling__rider-container">
                <span class="cyclist__name">{{member.name}}</span>
            </div>

            <!-- Need to add id's to the div below -->
            <div id={{member.name}}>
            </div>

        </div>                                      
    </li>
</ul>

JSON

  "cyclists": [
    {
      "name": "Jason",
      "position": "CEO",
    },
    {
      "name": "Mike",
      "position": "Digital Strategist",
    },
    {
      "name": "Tom",
      "position": "Vice President, Product Management",
    },
    {
      "name": "Jeff",
      "position": "Senior Director, Creative",
    },
}

I'm in this case using uuid , you will need to merge json data to another object wit new id, so the example:

<script>
  import { uuid } from 'vue-uuid'; 

  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        uuid: uuid.v1(),
        id: null 
      }
    },
    computed: {
      newCyclists: function () {
       const id = this.id;
       const newID = this.$uuid.v4();
       return {
          ...cyclists,
          id: newID,
        }
      }
    }
  };
</script>

in computed using spread operator to merge new ID with current JSON data with a new ID, vue-uuid come from uuid library and v4 is related to generate ID's

Answer 2

If you didn't want to load in an additional module like vue-uuid you could use this function to generate a hash of the result of stringifying each array object on the assumption that each name/position will be unique.

I've used this Stackoverflow answer as the basis of this one.

 const data = [{"name":"Jason","position":"CEO"},{"name":"Mike","position":"Digital Strategist"},{"name":"Tom","position":"Vice President, Product Management"},{"name":"Jeff","position":"Senior Director, Creative"}]; function genHash(str) { var hash = 0, i, chr; if (str.length === 0) return hash; for (i = 0; i < str.length; i++) { chr = str.charCodeAt(i); hash = ((hash << 5) - hash) + chr; hash |= 0; } return hash; }; // For each object in the array create // a stringyfied version of it and create // a hash data.forEach(obj => { obj.id = genHash(JSON.stringify(obj)); }); console.log(data); 

Then you can loop over the data as you would normally.

There are different approaches.

1. Use an index. You have an array, so just use the index they come from, prepended with something unique to the object. cyclist_1, cyclist_2...
2. Put the ids on the JSON as part of the data.
3. Derive it from the data you have. With a hash, or simply concatenating name + position. Use some function to sanitise it (remove spaces, invalid html characters, etc.)

4. Generate a uuid for each one on the fly. You can use this amazing function for uuid version 4 developed by the community to be the shortest possible:

    function b(a){return a?(a^Math.random()*16>>a/4).toString(16):([1e7]+-1e3+-4e3+-8e3+-1e11).replace(/[018]/g,b)}
