How to simplify nested JavaScript loops

Question

I have written three for loops for displaying data on the screen using JavaScript. How can I simplify the following code?

My Json Format:

 {
 "result": {
 "type": "SUCCESS",
 "data": [{ 
 "monthName": "July",
 "monthId": 7,
 "weeks": [{ 
 "days": [{ 
 "day": "Sunday",
 "date": "07/31/2016"
 }], 
 }],
 }],
 }
 }

var monthObj = response.result.data;
for (var i = 0; i < monthObj.length; i++) { 
 for (var t = 0; t < monthObj[i].weeks.length; t++) {
 for (var s = 0; s < monthObj[i].weeks[t].days.length; s++) {
 }
 } 
}

This is my loop, here I have written 3 loops.
Is there any easy way to simplify these loops?

• Christian Zosel: Can you also add the code that displays the data?
• user663031: Why do you imagine it might be simplifiable? How do you want to simplify it? Is there some reason you did not add the for-loop tag to this question?
• sathish kumar: i have written 3 for loops, My doubt is this possible to write everything in one for loop.
• user663031: @AhmadIbrahim Please do not remove the jQuery tag. It expresses the OP's willingness to entertain a jQuery solution.
• Shilly: Since years/months/days are more or less static data, the only dynamic data you need is the date, so your data might as well be "data" : ["07/31/2016"], which can give you all the other info when converted to a Date object. It would reduce everything down to one loop. (depending on what you're doing with those dates...)

Answer 1

It depends how your data looks like and what you want to do inside the loop. If you expect to have more than one entry for month, week and day and you want to perform some action on all of them, you will need three loops.

I'd recommend using forEach instead of for though:

const data = {
 "result": {
 "type": "SUCCESS",
 "data": [{
 "monthName": "July",
 "monthId": 7,
 "weeks": [{
 "days": [{
 "day": "Sunday",
 "date": "07/31/2016"
 }],
 }],
 }],
 }
}
data.result.data.forEach(month => {
 month.weeks.forEach(week => {
 week.days.forEach(day => console.log(day))
 })
})
