How do I write a json list with objects in javascript

Question

Hello Guys I have a small problem with writing my list.

I got this out of the debug tab and i only want to have one output without undefind.

I used Node-Red this is my code

This is the code of the function Set Data

var number1 = msg.payload.kinput
var number2 = msg.payload.kinout

var newlisencenumber = '{' + '"number1json"' + ':' + number1 +','+'"number2json"'+':'+ number2 +'}'

//-------------------------------------------------------------
var prepared = '{' + '"storage"' + ':' + '['+ newlisencenumber + ']' + '}'

//-------------------------------------------------------------
var msgout = prepared


 


msg.payload = msgout

return msg;

At least here is the code for the Node-Red flow

Answer 1

Your code is typecasting the values to string. Now in this case undefined values will convert to a string "undefined".

You could do something like this:

// Basically add a fallback of empty string
var number1 = msg?.payload?.kinput || "";
var number2 = msg?.payload?.kinout || "";

So if the value is undefined or even null it will fallback to an empty string so you should get something like this

"{"storage": [{ "licensenumber": "", "input": "" }]}"
