How to merge two arrays of objects in ReactJS?

Question

I have two arrays of objects that I need to merge together to only get one array of object. There is a lot of objects, both have more than 500+ objects

This is an exemple of the structure of the two array of objects :

let API = [
  {
    actif: true,
    id: 8,
    creation_user: "David",
    date_creation: "févr  4 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r1"
  },
  {
    actif: true,
    id: 10,
    creation_user: "Julien",
    date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r2"
  },
  {
    actif: false,
    id: 20,
    creation_user: "Tom",
    date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r2"
  }
]

let Parameters = [
  {
    id: 10,
    name: "codeRR",
    type: "string"
  },
  {
    id: 20,
    name: "codeAA",
    type: "string"
  },
  {
    id: 20,
    name: "codeCC",
    type: "string"
  }
]

As we can see, they both have an ID, this ID is the same in both arrays. But not everytime, API can have no parameter.

What i'm trying to achieve is to get in the second array, the "name" and "type", and to add it to the first array (or in a new array).

I've tried with .map on the first array (also tried with the second one) :

let Ressource = api.map(item => Object.assign({}, item, parametre.find(target => target.id === item.id)));
 
 // Result of Ressource
 
 [
  {
    actif: true,
    id: 8,
    creation_user: "David",
    date_creation: "févr  4 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r1";
    name: "codeRR",
    type: "string
  }
 ]
 
 // Want I want :
 [
  {
    actif: true,
    id: 8,
    creation_user: "David",
    date_creation: "févr  4 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r1",
    parameter: [
      {
        name: "codeRR",
        type: "string
      },
      {
        name: "codePP",
        type: "string
      }
    ]
  }
 ]

But when an API have multiple parameter it overwrite the previous one. Is it possible to make something like this in my API

parameter: [{"name": "codeRR", type: "string"}, {"name": "codePP", "type": "string"}]

A) id = 8 is present in API but not present in Parameters array. So, how do we get the resulting Resource to have name: codeRR for id = 8? B) Would you please update the question with what is expected result for id = 20?. — jsN00b

Does this answer your question? JavaScript merging objects by id — pilchard
– pilchard, Commented May 31, 2022 at 7:38
yes, id = 8 is not present in Parameters because sometime API doesn't have a parameter, I will edit my question. — Quentin

Group the Parameters array by their id using Array.prototype.reduce, this would give an object where the keys are the ids and the values are an array of parameter objects.
Loop over the API array and using the object created above add the parameter property wherever the parameter information is available.

let 
  API = [
    { actif: true, id: 8, creation_user: "David", date_creation: "févr  4 2022 12:17PM", description: "A description", version: "v1r1" },
    { actif: true, id: 10, creation_user: "Julien", date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM", description: "A description", version: "v1r2" },
    { actif: false, id: 20, creation_user: "Tom", date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM", description: "A description", version: "v1r2" },
  ],
  Parameters = [
    { id: 10, name: "codeRR", type: "string" },
    { id: 20, name: "codeAA", type: "string" },
    { id: 20, name: "codeCC", type: "string" },
  ],
  ParametersGroup = Parameters.reduce((r, p) => ((r[p.id] ??= []).push(p), r), {}),
  APIWithParams = API.map((o) => ({
    ...o,
    ...(ParametersGroup[o.id] && { parameters: ParametersGroup[o.id] }),
  }));

console.log(APIWithParams);

If you want to handle single parameter and multiple parameters differently, then refer to the solution below:

let 
  API = [
    { actif: true, id: 8, creation_user: "David", date_creation: "févr  4 2022 12:17PM", description: "A description", version: "v1r1" },
    { actif: true, id: 10, creation_user: "Julien", date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM", description: "A description", version: "v1r2" },
    { actif: false, id: 20, creation_user: "Tom", date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM", description: "A description", version: "v1r2" },
  ],
  Parameters = [
    { id: 10, name: "codeRR", type: "string" },
    { id: 20, name: "codeAA", type: "string" },
    { id: 20, name: "codeCC", type: "string" },
  ],
  ParametersGroup = Parameters.reduce((r, p) => ((r[p.id] ??= []).push(p), r), {}),
  APIWithParams = API.map((o) => {
    const paramsForId = ParametersGroup[o.id];
    return {
      ...o,
      ...(paramsForId && (paramsForId.length > 1 ? { parameters: paramsForId } : paramsForId[0])),
    };
  });

console.log(APIWithParams);

Note: Finding the parameter for an id again and again is not optimal. Hence we've created an object beforehand and referenced it while adding the parameter information.

Thanks you for the documentation, I truly need it, always having a bad time performing such merge and arrays of objects in general.

Som Shekhar Mukherjee Over a year ago

@Quentin I've also added a note in my answer, I'd recommend going through that. Since you mentioned that the arrays could be large, it's not optimal to find or filter (or anything that takes linear time) again and again.

Quentin Over a year ago

I see, again, thanks you, I was a bit concerned about performance since it's was taking some time to build the array with a find or filter. Will read and take note from your links !

Quentin Over a year ago

By the way, is there any optimal way to display all of the array ?

Som Shekhar Mukherjee Over a year ago

You want to render thousands of items at once? Usually that's not required and only a portion of the data is rendered at once. But in case you want to render everything at once, you can.

If the parameters have the same attributes they will be overwritten.

if you need both of them you need to store them in an array

like this

const decorate = (data, parameters) => data.map(d => ({...d, parameters: parameters.filter(({id}) => d.id === id)}))




let API = [
  {
    actif: true,
    id: 8,
    creation_user: "David",
    date_creation: "févr  4 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r1"
  },
  {
    actif: true,
    id: 10,
    creation_user: "Julien",
    date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r2"
  },
  {
    actif: false,
    id: 20,
    creation_user: "Tom",
    date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r2"
  }
]

let Parameters = [
  {
    id: 10,
    name: "codeRR",
    type: "string"
  },
  {
    id: 20,
    name: "codeAA",
    type: "string"
  },
  {
    id: 20,
    name: "codeCC",
    type: "string"
  }
]

console.log(decorate(API,Parameters ))

Solved my problems with your code, so filter was far better than just a find. And yes, i need both, making sure I don't miss something

You're almost there. You can add extra logic for your map to handle multiple and single parameters separately.

let API = [{
    actif: true,
    id: 8,
    creation_user: "David",
    date_creation: "févr  4 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r1"
  },
  {
    actif: true,
    id: 10,
    creation_user: "Julien",
    date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r2"
  },
  {
    actif: false,
    id: 20,
    creation_user: "Tom",
    date_creation: "févr  10 2022 12:17PM",
    description: "A description",
    version: "v1r2"
  }
]

let Parameters = [{
    id: 10,
    name: "codeRR",
    type: "string"
  },
  {
    id: 20,
    name: "codeAA",
    type: "string"
  },
  {
    id: 20,
    name: "codeCC",
    type: "string"
  }
]

const result = API.map((data) => {
  const updatedData = Object.assign({}, data)
  const foundParameters = Parameters.filter(({
    id
  }) => id === data.id)
  if (foundParameters.length === 0) {
    return data
  }

  if (foundParameters.length === 1) {
    return Object.assign(updatedData, foundParameters[0])
  } else {
    return Object.assign(updatedData, {
      parameter: foundParameters.map(({
        name,
        type
      }) => ({
        name,
        type
      }))
    })
  }
});

console.log(result)
