I want to return the value of a key for one of the elements inside the object using a condition:
const raw = {
item1: { name: 'sdfd1', otherStuff: { book:'sdfd11' } },
item2: { name: 'sdfd2', otherStuff: { book:'sdfd22' } },
item3: { name: 'sdfd3', otherStuff: { book:'sdfd33' } }
};
var anotherOne = {
country1 : { city: 'one', item: 'item3'},
country2 : { city: 'two', item: 'item4'}
}
var searchTerm = anotherOne.country1.item; // item3
var secondTerm = someUser.otherInfo // 'otherStuff'
var result = Object.keys(raw)
.filter(key => {
if (key === searchTerm){
return raw[searchTerm][secondTerm].book
}})
console.log('result:' result); // sdfd33
Basically, i want to look for the searchTerm
in the keys of the object raw
, and return the value for the book
key. In this example, it should return sdfd33
.
My attempt is returning nothing.
updated the question.
Use square bracket []
while accessing a object key through a variable.
Hopefully the filter
& Object.keys
will not be required in this case
const raw = {
item1: {
name: 'sdfd1',
book: 'sdfd11'
},
item2: {
name: 'sdfd2',
book: 'sdfd22'
},
item3: {
name: 'sdfd3',
book: 'sdfd33'
}
};
var searchTerm = 'item3';
//using square bracket when acceing key using variable
var result = raw[searchTerm].book
console.log(result);
