how can i compare two arrays from my data json?

Question

hello how can i compare two arrays one from my data json and the second from a array?

i need to know if the ids of "cm:taggable" exist in my secondArray

JSON

{
    "entry": {
        "isFile": true,
        "createdByUser": {
            "id": "admin",
            "displayName": "Administrator"
        },
        "modifiedAt": "2022-03-09T15:57:45.470+0000",
        "nodeType": "cm:content",
        "content": {

            "encoding": "UTF-8"
        },
        "parentId": "10o39gc76-8765-9f6b-8766904j55",

            ],
            "cm:description": "Book One"
        }
    }
}

second array

const scondArray = [
"6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8",
"343434-9c56-428f-a4ac-193494f12948",
"61231-9c56-428f-a4ac-i18838223344",
]

Answer 1

You need to select the array which is nested in the JSON variable and write a function to do the comparison.

 const jsonData = { "entry": { "isFile": true, "createdByUser": { "id": "admin", "displayName": "Administrator" }, "modifiedAt": "2022-03-09T15:57:45.470+0000", "nodeType": "cm:content", "content": { "mimeType": "application/zip", "mimeTypeName": "ZIP", "sizeInBytes": 509390, "encoding": "UTF-8" }, "parentId": "10o39gc76-8765-9f6b-8766904j55", "createdAt": "2022-03-04T19:44:47.009+0000", "isFolder": false, "modifiedByUser": { "id": "Prov1", "displayName": "Prov1" }, "name": "bookOne.zip", "id": "ct73849o983-i383ui-6tre-w9e0-2h2f2k3i846738", "properties": { "cm:title": "bookOne", "cm:taggable": [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "964d2c90-62e5-448d-a062-5e5297e518d9", "b87f6b9e-edbe-49d1-8a7c-05a35fe0eb78" ], "cm:description": "Book One" } } } const firstArr = [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "343434-9c56-428f-a4ac-193494f12948", "61231-9c56-428f-a4ac-i18838223344", ] const secondArr = [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "964d2c90-62e5-448d-a062-5e5297e518d9", "b87f6b9e-edbe-49d1-8a7c-05a35fe0eb78" ] const compare = (arr1, arr2) => arr1.length == arr2.length && arr1.reduce((a, b) => a && arr2.includes(b), true) const toCompare = jsonData["entry"]["properties"]["cm:taggable"] console.log('firstArr', compare(firstArr, toCompare)) console.log('secondArr', compare(secondArr, toCompare))

Answer 2

You just need to iterate trough the cm:tagable array values, and compare them against the secondArray value, like this:

 const Myjson = { "entry": { "isFile": true, "createdByUser": { "id": "admin", "displayName": "Administrator" }, "modifiedAt": "2022-03-09T15:57:45.470+0000", "nodeType": "cm:content", "content": { "mimeType": "application/zip", "mimeTypeName": "ZIP", "sizeInBytes": 509390, "encoding": "UTF-8" }, "parentId": "10o39gc76-8765-9f6b-8766904j55", "createdAt": "2022-03-04T19:44:47.009+0000", "isFolder": false, "modifiedByUser": { "id": "Prov1", "displayName": "Prov1" }, "name": "bookOne.zip", "id": "ct73849o983-i383ui-6tre-w9e0-2h2f2k3i846738", "properties": { "cm:title": "bookOne", "cm:taggable": [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "964d2c90-62e5-448d-a062-5e5297e518d9", "b87f6b9e-edbe-49d1-8a7c-05a35fe0eb78" ], "cm:description": "Book One" } } } const ids = Myjson.entry.properties['cm:taggable']; const scondArray = [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "343434-9c56-428f-a4ac-193494f12948", "61231-9c56-428f-a4ac-i18838223344", ]; ids.forEach((id, index) => { id === scondArray[index]? console.log(`the id ${id} exists in second array`): console.log(`the id ${id} doesnt exist in second array`) })

Answer 3

You can use Array#filter to get only those ids in firstArray that are also in secondArray ; otherwise the test ( boolean ) for each of first array id is:

secondArray.includes( id )

 const obj = { "entry": { "isFile": true, "createdByUser": { "id": "admin", "displayName": "Administrator" }, "modifiedAt": "2022-03-09T15:57:45.470+0000", "nodeType": "cm:content", "content": { "mimeType": "application/zip", "mimeTypeName": "ZIP", "sizeInBytes": 509390, "encoding": "UTF-8" }, "parentId": "10o39gc76-8765-9f6b-8766904j55", "createdAt": "2022-03-04T19:44:47.009+0000", "isFolder": false, "modifiedByUser": { "id": "Prov1", "displayName": "Prov1" }, "name": "bookOne.zip", "id": "ct73849o983-i383ui-6tre-w9e0-2h2f2k3i846738", "properties": { "cm:title": "bookOne", "cm:taggable": [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "964d2c90-62e5-448d-a062-5e5297e518d9", "b87f6b9e-edbe-49d1-8a7c-05a35fe0eb78" ], "cm:description": "Book One" } } }, firstArray = obj.entry.properties["cm:taggable"], secondArray = [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "343434-9c56-428f-a4ac-193494f12948", "61231-9c56-428f-a4ac-i18838223344", ], output = firstArray.filter(id => secondArray.includes( id )); console.log( output ); //OUTPUT: ["6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8"] //The only id in firstArray that's also in secondArray

Answer 4

You can achieve that with a single line of code by just using Array.some() method. It returns true if, in the array, it finds an element for which the provided function returns true; otherwise it returns false.

Live Demo :

 const jsonObj = { "entry": { "isFile": true, "createdByUser": { "id": "admin", "displayName": "Administrator" }, "modifiedAt": "2022-03-09T15:57:45.470+0000", "nodeType": "cm:content", "content": { "mimeType": "application/zip", "mimeTypeName": "ZIP", "sizeInBytes": 509390, "encoding": "UTF-8" }, "parentId": "10o39gc76-8765-9f6b-8766904j55", "createdAt": "2022-03-04T19:44:47.009+0000", "isFolder": false, "modifiedByUser": { "id": "Prov1", "displayName": "Prov1" }, "name": "bookOne.zip", "id": "ct73849o983-i383ui-6tre-w9e0-2h2f2k3i846738", "properties": { "cm:title": "bookOne", "cm:taggable": [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "964d2c90-62e5-448d-a062-5e5297e518d9", "b87f6b9e-edbe-49d1-8a7c-05a35fe0eb78" ], "cm:description": "Book One" } } }; const secondArray = [ "6814d5c5-9c56-428f-a4ac-aa13ef6b1ef8", "343434-9c56-428f-a4ac-193494f12948", "61231-9c56-428f-a4ac-i18838223344", ] const isIDExist = jsonObj.entry.properties['cm:taggable'].some(item => secondArray.includes(item)); console.log(isIDExist);
