I'm writing a code to parse a JSON file. I was wondering if there is a shortcut to check if any of the objects is null and return "No Information" to each of them so that I don't have to repeat '+(item.xxx || 'No Information')+'
. Is there such a shortcut?
For example, I'm doing this to check if the object is null:
$(data.items).each(function (index, item) {
item_html +='<h3>'+item.title+'</h3><p>'+(item.description || 'No Information')+'<p>'+(item.date || 'No Information')+'<p>'+(item.source || 'No Information')+'<p>'+(item.month|| 'No Information')+';
}
Is there any better alternative?
jQuery has a jQuery.isEmptyObject function.
$(data.items).each(function (index, item) {
if (!jQuery.isEmptyObject(item)) {
item_html +='<h3>'+item.title+'</h3<p>'+item.description+'<p>'+item.date+'<p>'+item.source+'<p>'+item.month+';
}
}
It's still not the worst idea to check each property to see if it's undefined. Try taking the logic out of the html building, like var itemDate = item.date || "No Information";
var itemDate = item.date || "No Information";
You also have some HTML and Javascript syntax errors. Close your <p>
tags, and close your string at the end of the line.
write a simple function
function s(item){
if (item==null){
return "No Inofrmation";
}else{
return item;
}
}
USAGE
$(data.items).each(function (index, item) {
item_html +='<h3>'+item.title+'</h3><p>'+s(item.description)+'<p>'+s(item.date)+'<p>'+s(item.source)+'<p>'+s(item.month)'</p>';
}
This could be a first version:
var na = function(message, def){
def || (def = 'No Information');
return message || def;
};
$(data.items).each(function (index, item) {
item_html +='<h3>'+item.title+'</h3><p>'+
na(item.description)+'<p>'+
na(item.date)+'<p>'+
na(item.source)+'<p>'+
na(item.month)+'<p>'
}
Although it would be better if you do this logic in your data source, from where you get data.items
?
you can also use the map command to preprocess your array.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map
var fields = ['title', 'field1', 'flield2'];
items.map(function(item){
for(var f in fields){
fn = fields[f];
if(item[fn] == undefined || item[fn] == null){
item[fn] = 'No Information';
}
}
});
This is sort of a "hack" but you could print as is then replace all ocurrences of undefined:
$(data.items).each(function (index, item) {
item_html +='<h3>'+item.title+'</h3><p>'+item.description+'<p>'+item.date+'<p>'+item.source+'<p>'+item.month;
}
item_html.split(">undefined<").join(">No Information<");
