I have an array of objects that I need to convert into strings for a CSV parsing program. The array looks like this:
var arr = [{request: {funding : 123, id: 123abc, membership: true},
response: {funding : 285, success: true }},
{request: {funding : 123, id: 123def, membership: true},
response: {funding : 167, success: true }},
{request: {funding : 123, id: 123def, membership: true},
response: {funding : 234, success: true }}]
I tried using a loop to convert the nested objects into strings using JSON.stringify(), but it didn't seem to work as expected:
for (var item in arr)
{ item.response = JSON.stringify(item.response);
item.request = JSON.stringify(item.request);
}
Even after running this code, checking the type of item.response still returns object.
However, when manually setting the property of an individual item outside of the loop, it does work correctly:
arr[0].response = JSON.stringify(arr[0].response)
typeof(arr[0].response) // string
