Combining JavaScript Arrays

Question

I would like to take a JavaScript object that is formatted like:

results = {
 names: [
 "id",
 "first_name"
 ],
 values: [
 [
 1234,
 "Fred"
 ],
 [
 4321,
 "Joe"
 ],
 [
 1123,
 "Mary"
 ]
 ]
}

and turn into this:

 results = {
 [id: 1234, name: "Fred"],
 [id: 4321, name: "Joe"],
 [id: 1123, name: "Mary"]
 }

I tried doing something like this, but I can't get the structure correct:

var data = []
for (i=0; i < results['values'].length; i++ ){
 var innerData = []
 for (b=0; b < results['names'].length; b++ ){
 innerData.push([name:results['names'][b], value: results['values'][i][b]])
 }
 data.push(innerData)
}
console.log(data)

Answer 1

Problem 1:

results = {
 [id: 1234, name: "Fred"],
 [id: 4321, name: "Joe"],
 [id: 1123, name: "Mary"]
}

and

var data = []

and

[name:results['names'][b]...

An array [] consists a set of values in order.

An object {} consists of a set of key:value pairs.

You are using the wrong one each time. Use {} where you have [] and vice versa

Problem 2:

You say you want objects with id and name keys, but you are trying to create name and value keys. Use the property names you actually want.

Answer 2

Try this:

var data = [];
for (i in results['values']){
 var innerData = {}
 var value = results['values'][i];
 for (b in value){
 var key = results['names'][b];
 innerData[key] = value[b]; 
 }
 data.push(innerData);
}
console.log(data);
