I'm currently working on creating an object using a forEach loop in JavaScript. The goal is to total up all the counts for each item in the array and store them based on their type.
My project involves using Firebase in an Ionic (Angular/TypeScript) app, where I retrieve an array of items from the database. Here's an example of what the array structure looks like:
[
{
id:'uniqueID',
specs: {
count:5,
forSale:false,
group:"qPELnTnwGJEtJexgP2qX",
name:"Foxeer Cam 2",
type:"camera"
}
},
{
id:'uniqueID',
specs: {
count:4,
forSale:false,
group:"qPELnTnwGJEtJexgP2qX",
name:"Furibee 40a",
type:"esc"
}
},
...
]
To achieve this, I am iterating through these items (result being the list of items):
let partArr = [];
let typeObj = {};
result.forEach(part => {
//Adding parts to the list
partArr.push({
'id':part.id,
'specs':part.data(),
});
//Creating a list based on types
typeObj[part.data().type] = {
'count': 0
};
});
The next step is to increment the counts by adding each part's count to the last count based on their type. The typeObj should be structured like this:
{
esc: {
count:5
},
camera: {
count:10
}
}
When trying to update the count, I encountered a problem where it didn't recognize the count when initially creating the object. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
