Matching multiple values from array to object array

Question

I am trying to create a booking app and mark out the slots unavailable. The slots unavailable are in an array for example:

const unavailable = [ "11:00am a 12:00pm", "17:00pm a 18:00pm"]

and the total slots are

 let slots = [ {
    slot: "9:00am a 10:00am",
    isReserved: false,
  },
  {
    slot: "10:00am a 11:00am",
    isReserved: false,
  },
  { slot: "11:00am a 12:00pm", isReserved: false },
  {
    slot: "15:00pm a 16:00pm",
    isReserved: false,
  },
  {
    slot: "17:00pm a 18:00pm",
    isReserved: false,
  },
  {
    slot: "18:00pm a 19:00pm",
    isReserved: false,
  },
  { slot: "19:00pm a 20:00pm", isReserved: false },
];

my goal is to use the unavailable array and each value inside and find how to change that field to

isReserved: true

I've tried to filter like so

    const matches = slots.filter((same) => same.slot === unavailable);

but does not work. What did kind of work was

    const matches = slots.filter((same) => same.slot === unavailable[0]);

but that only matches the first value, and I still do not know how to change the isReserved field.

You could iterate and update if a slot is found.

 const unavailable = ["11:00am a 12:00pm", "17:00pm a 18:00pm"], slots = [{ slot: "9:00am a 10:00am", isReserved: false }, { slot: "10:00am a 11:00am", isReserved: false }, { slot: "11:00am a 12:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "15:00pm a 16:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "17:00pm a 18:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "18:00pm a 19:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "19:00pm a 20:00pm", isReserved: false }]; slots.forEach(o => { if (unavailable.some(slot => slot === o.slot)) o.isReserved = true; }); console.log(slots);

 .as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100%;important: top; 0; }

If you like not to mutate the original array, you could map the objects with a new property.

 const unavailable = ["11:00am a 12:00pm", "17:00pm a 18:00pm"], slots = [{ slot: "9:00am a 10:00am", isReserved: false }, { slot: "10:00am a 11:00am", isReserved: false }, { slot: "11:00am a 12:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "15:00pm a 16:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "17:00pm a 18:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "18:00pm a 19:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "19:00pm a 20:00pm", isReserved: false }], result = slots.map(o => ({...o, isReserved: o.isReserved || unavailable.some(slot => slot === o.slot) })); console.log(result);

 .as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100%;important: top; 0; }

Answer 2

you can use the map operator and can achieve this.

 const unavailable = [ "11:00am a 12:00pm", "17:00pm a 18:00pm"] let slots = [ { slot: "9:00am a 10:00am", isReserved: false, }, { slot: "10:00am a 11:00am", isReserved: false, }, { slot: "11:00am a 12:00pm", isReserved: false }, { slot: "15:00pm a 16:00pm", isReserved: false, }, { slot: "17:00pm a 18:00pm", isReserved: false, }, { slot: "18:00pm a 19:00pm", isReserved: false, }, { slot: "19:00pm a 20:00pm", isReserved: false }, ]; const slots = slots.map(slotobj=>{ if(unavailable.includes(slotobj.slot)){ slotobj.isReserved =true } return slotobj; })
