Adding elements to object

Question

I need to populate a json file  now I have something like this     element    id  10  quantity  1     And I need to add another  element   My first step is putting that json in a Object type using cart   JSON parse  now I need to add the new element  I supposed I must use cart push to add another element  I tried this   var element       element push   id  id  quantity  quantity     cart push element     But I got error  Object has no method push  when I try to do element push  and I think I m doing something VERY wrong because I m not telling the  element  anywhere   How can I do that   Edit  sorry to all I had a LOT of confusion in my head   I thought I can get only object type when taking data from JSON parse  but I get what I put in the JSON in the first place   Putting array instead of object solved my problem  I used lots of suggestions got here too  thank you all

Your element is not an array  however your cart needs to be an array in order to support many element objects  Code example   var element       cart       element id   id  element quantity   quantity  cart push element     If you want cart to be an array of objects in the form   element    id  10  quantity  1    then perform   var element       cart       element id   id  element quantity   quantity  cart push  element  element      JSON stringify   was mentioned as a concern in the comment    gt  gt  JSON stringify   a  1    a  2               a  1    a  2

push is an method of arrays   so for object you can get the index of last element  and you can probably do the same job as push for object as below  var lastIndex   Object keys element  Object keys element  length-1     then add object to the new index of element  element parseInt lastIndex   1      id  id  quantity  quantity

I was reading something related to this try if it is useful   1 Define a push function inside a object   let obj  push function push element      push call this element       Now you can push elements like an array  obj push 1  obj push  a 1   obj push  1 2 3     This will produce this object  obj    0  1  1   a  1   2   3   1  2  3   length  3     Notice the elements are added with indexes and also see that there is a new length property added to the object This will be useful to find the length of the object too This works because of the generic nature of push   function

For anyone still looking for a solution  I think that the objects should have been stored in an array like     var element       cart       element id   id  element quantity   quantity  cart push element     Then when you want to use an element as an object you can do this     var element   cart find function  el    return el id      id that we want        Put a variable at  id that we want  and give it the id of the element that we want from our array  An  elemnt  object is returned  Of course we dont have to us id to find the object  We could use any other property to do the find

With that row  var element         you define element to be a plain object  The native JavaScript object has no push   method  To add new items to a plain object use this syntax   element  yourKey     yourValue    On the other hand you could define element as an array using  var element         Then you can add elements using push

If the cart has to be stored as an object and not array  Although I would recommend storing as an     you can always change the structure to use the ID as the key   var element     quantity  quantity    cart id    element    This allows you to add multiple items to the cart like so   cart  1       quantity  5   cart  2       quantity  10       Cart is now        1     quantity  5     2     quantity  10

My proposition is to use different data structure that proposed already in other answers - it allows you to make push on card elements and allow to expand card properties   x000D   x000D  let card       elements          id  10  quantity  1            other card fields like  owner  or something       card elements push   id  22  quantity  3    console log card   x000D   x000D   x000D
