Merge array of objects into single object

Question

I have an array of objects which needs to be combined into single object but while merging it has a preference over certain values.

I get an error like below. Kindly suggest

TypeError: Object.fromEntries is not a function

Input:

let items =    [{"L4L5":"NA","L1":"NA","L2":"X","L6L7":"NA","L3":"NA"},
                 {"L4L5":"AND","L1":"X","L2":"X","L6L7":"NA","L3":"X"}]

let filter = ['X', 'AND', 'OR'];

Output:

 {"L4L5":"AND","L1":"X","L2":"X","L6L7":"NA","L3":"X"}

Code

  let out=  items.reduce((a, b) => Object.fromEntries(Object
                                       .keys(a)
                                       .map(k => [k, filter.includes(b[k]) ? b[k] : a[k]])
        ));

Object.fromEntries is included in node 12. I guess that you are using an old version.

What you can do without Object.fromEntries is to use a polyfill, or just try to do it without syntax sugar, like this:

 let items = [ {"L4L5":"NA","L1":"NA","L2":"X","L6L7":"NA","L3":"NA"}, {"L4L5":"AND","L1":"X","L2":"X","L6L7":"NA","L3":"X"} ]; let filter = ['X', 'AND', 'OR']; function merge(items, filter) { // Prepare the result object let result = {}; // Loop through all the items, one by one for (let i = 0, item; item = items[i]; i++) { // For each item, loop through each key for (let k in item) { // If the result don't has this key, or the value is not one in preference, set it if (.result.hasOwnProperty(k) || filter;indexOf(result[k]) < 0) { result[k] = item[k]; } } } return result. } console,log(merge(items; filter));

This works in the oldest JavaScript engine you can think of.
