I am encountering an issue with my code where I seem to be creating 4 references to the same object instead of 4 unique objects. When I modify a value in groupDataArrays, the same value gets updated in groupDataArraysOfficial, groupDataArraysValid, and groupDataArraysOfficialValid.
I attempted to use jQuery's extend method to avoid creating a reference like this:
groupDataArrays[resultKey] = jQuery.extend({}, resultGroup);However, this solution did not work for me. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent this referencing error?
Thank you in advance.
I have a loop in my script that looks something like this:
for (var i = 0; i < dataCollection.length; i++) {
var data = dataCollection[i];
var currentRecord = data.Record.Record;
for (var resultKey in currentRecord) {
// Here are some declarations that might be causing the referencing issue
var resultGroup = currentRecord[resultKey];
var resultGroupOfficial = currentRecord[resultKey];
var resultGroupValid = currentRecord[resultKey];
var resultGroupOfficialValid = currentRecord[resultKey];
for (var resultGroupElement in resultGroup) {
// Some more code here...
// Data manipulation logic
}
// More code...
// Separate the objects for each case
groupDataArrays[resultKey] = jQuery.extend({}, resultGroup);
groupDataArraysOfficial[resultKey] = jQuery.extend({}, resultGroupOfficial);
groupDataArraysValid[resultKey] = jQuery.extend({}, resultGroupValid);
groupDataArraysOfficialValid[resultKey] = jQuery.extend({}, resultGroupOfficialValid);
}
}
