How to search a nested dictionary and not care about top level key

So I am using lunr.js in my Jekyll application to implement a search feature and the results return correctly. The aim is to then display the list of results in the browser.

Here I get the results, then pass them to a func which handles the DOM manipulation.

var results = idx.search(searchTerm); // Get lunr to perform a search
displaySearchResults(results, window.store);

The log of console.log(window.store); is the following:

"python-2019-03-23-welcome-to-jekyll-html": Object { title: "test", category: "Python", url: "/python/2019/03/23/welcome-to-jekyll.html" }

The first key python-2019-03-23-welcome-to-jekyll-html doesn't matter as that will change depending on the number of posts. How can I get the values of Object{}?

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm fairly new to JS, so if this is badly worded, let me know.

Solution

  • You grab the first key of the window.store and then you can get the values you want

    const { title, category, url } = window.store[Object.keys(window.store)[0]];
