I believe this question will be fairly easy for the ones who played around with java script / jquery.
var arr = new Array();
$.map(arr, function() {
if (this.id == productID) {
this.price = productPrice;
}else {
arr.push({id: productID, price: productPrice})
}
}
I guess the code above explains what I want in really simple way. I would imagine this $.map would work like this but unfortunately I couldn't get results with this.
What is the most simple and elegant way to do this? Do I truly go through all array just to find if a key's value is there or not?
Does Jquery has something like isset($array['key'])?
EDIT
I tried to use inArray but it keeps adding object to array even if there is a match.
if ( $.inArray(productID, arr) > -1) {
var number = $.inArray(productID, arr);
orderInfo[number].price = parseFloat(productPrice);
}else {
orderInfo.push({id:productID, price:parseFloat(productPrice)});
}
This question is related to
javascript
jquery
arrays
loops
jQuery has the inArray function:
if ($.inArray('yourElement', yourArray) > -1)
{
//yourElement in yourArray
//code here
}
Reference: Jquery Array
The $.inArray() method is similar to JavaScript's native .indexOf() method in that it returns -1 when it doesn't find a match. If the first element within the array matches value, $.inArray() returns 0.
Try jQuery.inArray()
Here is a jsfiddle link using the same code : http://jsfiddle.net/yrshaikh/SUKn2/
The $.inArray() method is similar to JavaScript's native .indexOf() method in that it returns -1 when it doesn't find a match. If the first element within the array matches value, $.inArray() returns 0
Example Code :
<html>
<head>
<style>
div { color:blue; }
span { color:red; }
</style>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>"John" found at <span></span></div>
<div>4 found at <span></span></div>
<div>"Karl" not found, so <span></span></div>
<div>
"Pete" is in the array, but not at or after index 2, so <span></span>
</div>
<script>
var arr = [ 4, "Pete", 8, "John" ];
var $spans = $("span");
$spans.eq(0).text(jQuery.inArray("John", arr));
$spans.eq(1).text(jQuery.inArray(4, arr));
$spans.eq(2).text(jQuery.inArray("Karl", arr));
$spans.eq(3).text(jQuery.inArray("Pete", arr, 2));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output:
"John" found at 3 4 found at 0 "Karl" not found, so -1 "Pete" is in the array, but not at or after index 2, so -1

if ($.inArray('example', myArray) != -1)
{
// found it
}
