I am looking for a solution, to push/convert array items into a object back, without using keys?
function pleaseBuy(){
var args = arguments;
for(var i = 0; i < arguments[0].length; ++i) {
args += args[i];
};
};
function getList(){
return ["pepsi","cola","7up"];
}
var list = ({ favorite: "drpepper"}, getList())
pleaseBuy(list)
Expected result:
args = ({ favorite: "drpepper"}, "pepsi", "cola", "7up")
No need for the pleaseBuy function, I'd say:
function getList(){
return ["pepsi","cola","7up"];
}
var list = getList().concat( { favorite: "drpepper" } );
// ^ NB should be :
// or favorite first
var list = [{ favorite: "drpepper" }].concat(getList());
/*
list now contains:
['pepsi, 'cola','7up',{ favorite: "drpepper" }]
*/
An object allways contains key-value pairs. If you want to convert an array to an object, you'll thus have to assign keys and values. For example:
var arr = [1,2,3,4,'some'], arr2Obj = {};
for (var i=0;i<arr.length;i=i+1){
arr2Obj[arr[i]] = i;
}
/*
arr2Obj now contains:
{
1: 0,
2: 1,
3: 2,
4: 3,
some: 4
}
*/
Other example:
var arr = [1,2,3,4,'some'], arr2Numbers = {};
for (var i=0;i<arr.length;i=i+1){
arr2Numbers[arr[i]] = !isNaN(Number(arr[i]));
}
/*
arr2Numbers now contains:
{
1: true,
2: true,
3: true,
4: true,
some: false
}
*/
Use .unshift() docs to prepend to an array.
var list = getList();
list.unshift( { favorite="drpepper"});
// [{ favorite="drpepper"}, "pepsi", "cola", "7up"]
Demo at http://jsfiddle.net/Ds9y5/
Try this:
var array = ["pepsi","cola","7up"];
array.push({ favorite: "drpepper"});
Or
var array2 = ["pepsi","cola","7up"];
var array = [{favorite: "drpepper"}];
for(var ctr = 0 ; ctr < array2.length ; ctr++){
array.push(array2[ctr]);
}
var s = getList();
s.unshift({ favorite : "drpepper"}); // at the first place in array
s.push({ favorite : "drpepper"}); // at the last place in array
alert(s);
