Getting multiple values out of a key in hashtable

I have an output from an API which gives multiple value want them to prettify as an indivual output in javascript

[
    {
        "key": "Time",
        "value": "\nTuesday, July 30, 2019 5:34:16 PM\nMonday, July 29, 2019 3:23:20 PM\nMonday, July 29, 2019 1:54:05 PM"
    }
]
Solution

  • I think this is what you're trying to do:

    const myDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv");
const data = [
  {
    "key": "Time",
    "value": "\nTuesday, July 30, 2019 5:34:16 PM\nMonday, July 29, 2019 3:23:20 PM\nMonday, July 29, 2019 1:54:05 PM"
  }
];

let items = data[0].value.split("\n"); // Splits value between "\n", making an array
for (let item of items){ // Loops through items in the array, processing each in turn
  if(item.length > 0){ // Ignores items that are empty strings
    myDiv.innerHTML += item + "<br />"; // Adds the item and a line break to the div
  }
}
    <div id= "myDiv"></div>
