Error: The reduce function cannot be applied to $scope.array as it is not a

I am currently facing an issue with a section of my code that involves loading attributes related to a page using drop-down lists. These attributes, namely instruments, style, and scoring, are fetched through a service call.

For instance, when retrieving instruments:

//Get Instruments
$http.get('/api/Instrument/GetAllInstruments').success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    $scope.instruments = data;
}).error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    $scope.error = "An Error has occurred while fetching Instruments!" + data;
});

Here's the corresponding HTML:

<select class="form-control" 
    name="recordInstrument" 
    data-ng-model="recordInstrument" 
    required
    data-ng-options="i.ID as i.Description for i in instruments">
    <option value="">-- Choose an Instrument --</option>
</select>

When a user selects a record from a list, the values associated with that record are loaded onto a form. These values also include attribute values that determine the selected option in the drop-downs.

Upon clicking the record, an "edit" function is triggered. This function invokes a service to fetch the record and checks if the attribute array is not empty using an if statement. If the array isn't empty, it utilizes a forEach loop to set the ng-model ($scope.recordInstrument) for the default selection in the record's drop-down. If the array is empty, it sets the ng-model to 0 to reset the drop-down back to the default value of "Choose an instrument".

Below is the relevant code snippet: //Edit Store Page $scope.edit = function () {

if (this.page.SPPreambleID === null || this.page.SPPreambleID === 0) {
    this.page.SPPreambleID = -1;
}

$http.get('/api/StorePage/GetStorePage?StorePageID=' +
    this.page.StorePageID +
    '&SPPreambleID=' +
    this.page.SPPreambleID).success(function (data) {

        $scope.updateShow = true;
        $scope.addShow = false;
        $scope.newpage = data;

        if (data.SPAttributeRefID.length > 0) {

            angular.forEach($scope.newpage.SPAttributeRefID, function (attribute, index) {

                if (attribute == 1) {

                    ...
                };

                if (attribute == 2) {

                    ...
                };

                if (attribute == 3) {

                    ...
                };
            });
        }
        else {
            $scope.recordInstrument = 0;
            $scope.recordStyle = 0;
            $scope.recordScoring = 0;
        }
    }).error(function () {
        $scope.error = "An Error has occurred while Editing this Store Page!" + data;
    });
}

The issue arose after I introduced the following condition: if ($scope.newpage.SPAttributeRefID.length > 0) { ... }

This check was added because certain records may lack drop-down attributes, causing issues if transitioning from a previous record with values already set. Subsequently, since adding this condition, I started encountering errors pointing to the reduce function, and I'm unsure about the mistake I might've made.

I would appreciate any guidance or assistance in resolving this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Answer №1

After reconsideration, I decided to abandon the use of .reduce in my code. Following a helpful response to a query I posted on Stack Overflow, I made the switch to using a for loop instead: JavaScript: flatten an array without using reduce library

Below is the revised code snippet that eliminates the need for the reduce function:

if (attribute == 1) {

    var arrInstruments = $scope.instruments;
    var arrLength = arrInstruments.length;
    var result = {}
    for (var i = 0; i < arrLength; i++) {
        result[arrInstruments[i].ID] = arrInstruments[i];
    }
    $scope.recordInstrument = result[$scope.newpage.AttributeID[0]].ID;
}

Answer №2

It appears that the issue lies here.

});
// a closing bracket seems to be missing
    }else {
        $scope.recordInstrument = 0;
    }
}).error(function () {
    $scope.error = "An Error has occurred while Editing this Store Page!" + data;
});

Fixed

});
}; // added a closing bracket
    }else {
        $scope.recordInstrument = 0;
    }
}).error(function () {
    $scope.error = "An Error has occurred while Editing this Store Page!" + data;
});
