Recently, I encountered a challenge where I needed to populate a range input using data extracted from an external json file...
The data consists of multiple objects with arrays of values and corresponding text. However, some of these objects have non-consecutive values that disrupt the loop required for outputting on the range slider as shown below:
var someObj = [
{
value: 1,
text: 'A'
},
{
value: 2,
text: 'B'
},
{
value: 3,
text: 'C'
},
{
vaule: 5,
text: 'D'
},
{
value: 6,
text: 'E'
},
{
vaule: 8,
text: 'F'
}
];
As you can see, Value: 4 and value: 7 are missing. This inconsistency extends to other objects where values such as 11 and 13 might be missing.
My goal is to iterate through each object and fill in missing values by duplicating the text value from the preceding value like this:
var someObj = [
{
value: 1,
text: 'A'
},
{
value: 2,
text: 'B'
},
{
value: 3,
text: 'C'
},
{
vaule: 5,
text: 'D'
},
{
value: 6,
text: 'E'
},
{
vaule: 8,
text: 'F'
}
];
The updated array would look like this:
var someObj = [
{
value: 1,
text: 'A'
},
{
value: 2,
text: 'B'
},
{
value: 3,
text: 'C'
},
{
value: 4,
text: 'C'
},
{
vaule: 5,
text: 'D'
},
{
value: 6,
text: 'E'
},
{
vaule: 7,
text: 'E'
},
{
vaule: 8,
text: 'F'
}
];
I am curious if it's possible to achieve this task and if so, what approach should I take? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance
