I have an existing object literal:
var words=[
{
"word":"callous",
"definition":"uncaring",
"examples": [
{"sentence":"How could you be so callous?"},
{"sentence":"What a callous thing to say!"},
{"sentence":"That showed a callous disregard for the consequences."}
]
}
];
I'm trying to add more objects dynamically as follows:
var obj={};
obj.word="nextword";
obj.definition ="nextword definition";
obj.examples= ???;
for (var i = 0; i < nextwordSentencesArray.length; i++) {
??? obj.examples.sentence.push(nextwordSentencesArray[i]);
}
words.push(obj);
I have tried various options at -???- but nothing works. Advice gratefully received.
Why not take the complete object for pushing and a mapping of nextwordSentencesArray
with the wanted properties?
words.push({
word: "nextword",
definition: "nextword definition",
examples: nextwordSentencesArray.map(sentence => ({ sentence }))
});
