I am trying to create a JSON object in javascript (node-red) in this format:
gaugeData.channel.degrees:
gaugeData = {
ch1: {10: 'value',
20: 'value',
...
360: 'value'}
ch2: {10: 'value',
20: 'value',
...
360: 'value'}
...
ch8: {10: 'value',
20: 'value',
...
360: 'value'}
So that is a JSON object: "gaugeData" will have 8 properies called "channel" and each channel has 36 properties called, 10, 20 ,30 ,40 ... 360.
So far I have tried:
for(var i = 1; i <= 8; i++){
for(var c = 10; c <= 360; c += 10){
var channels = {
[i]: {
[c]: randInt(),
}
}
flow.set("gaugeData", channels);
}
}
This gives me:
{"8":
{"360":250}
}
So i can see my loop is working, though no matter what i cannot get each elemnet to append to the "gaugeData" object. It is only storing the last iteration of the loop. I have tried gaugeData.append, and gaugeData.push, but having similar no good results there.
What method should i use to append each iteration to the gaugeData object?
You basically have it, just store the values in a parent object before calling the next iteration of each for loop. Example:
const createChannels = () =>{
const topObj = {}
for(let i = 1; i <= 8; i++){
const botObj = {}
for(let c = 10; c <= 360; c += 10){
botObj[c] = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)
}
topObj[i] = botObj
}
return topObj
}
const myChannels = createChannels()
console.log(myChannels)
Returns:
