I have a form and I want to send it to an ajax endpoint, for this I have this helper method:
$.fn.serializeFormToObject = function() {
//serialize to array
var data = $(this).serializeArray();
//add also disabled items
$(':disabled[name]', this)
.each(function() {
data.push({ name: this.name, value: $(this).val() });
});
//map to object
var obj = {};
data.map(function(x) { obj[x.name] = x.value; });
return obj;
};
The problem is that I have dot notation in some of the names of my form (using MVC strong typed model) So I have this object as result:
Task.Addresses.Box:""
Task.Addresses.City:"Limal"
Task.Addresses.Country:"Belgique"
Task.Deadline:"1/10/2017 12:18:18 PM"
Task.TaskSourceId:"1"
And the result expected would be:
{ Task : { Addresses: { Box: "", City: "Limal", Country: "Belgique"}, Deadline: "1/10/2017 12:18:18 PM", TaskSourceId:"1" } }
I use the lodash library but after some hours I cannot find a way to do this expected result.
Can someone provide me a working javascript helper to give the expected nested object?
Edit: For duplicated question, the other question does not ask about combined nested object together
After the answer of @ori-drori, This code is working as expected:
$.fn.serializeFormToObject = function() {
//serialize to array
var data = $(this).serializeArray();
//add also disabled items
$(':disabled[name]', this)
.each(function() {
data.push({ name: this.name, value: $(this).val() });
});
//map to object
var obj = {};
data.map(function (x) { obj[x.name] = x.value; });
var objNested = {};
_.forEach(obj, function (value, key) { _.set(objNested, key, value) });
return objNested;
};
Iterate the data using Array#forEach
, and assign the value to the path (name) using _.set()
:
data.forEach(function(x) { _.set(obj, x.name, x.value) });
I don't have you're original data, so here is a demo using the key-values you provided.
var fields = { "Task.Addresses.Box": "", "Task.Addresses.City": "Limal", "Task.Addresses.Country": "Belgique", "Task.Deadline": "1/10/2017 12:18:18 PM", "Task.TaskSourceId": "1" }; var obj = {}; _.forEach(fields, function(value, key) { _.set(obj, key, value); }); console.log(obj);
