      "symbol": "IND",
      "name": "INDIA"
    }
  ]

 var commodities= [

      "symbol": "AL"
    }
  ]
this.refdata={locations};
this.refdta={commodities};

console.log(this.refdata)

Answer 1

You can just push the 0 elements of refdata and locations

var refdata = {
  locations: [],
  commodities: []

}

var locations = [{
  "symbol": "IND",
  "name": "INDIA"
}]

var commodities = [{
  "name": "Aluminium",
  "symbol": "AL"
}]


refdata.locations.push(locations[0]);
refdata.commodities.push(commodities[0]);

console.log(refdata);

Or just assign it directly to override the values.

var refdata = {
  locations: [],
  commodities: []

}

var locations = [{
  "symbol": "IND",
  "name": "INDIA"
}]

var commodities = [{
  "name": "Aluminium",
  "symbol": "AL"
}]


refdata.locations = locations;
refdata.commodities = commodities;

console.log(refdata);
