update object property without rewriting












0















I have a method which takes two parameters key for property name and value for the property value. And when I use it I want to update data[key] and add as many values there as I call the method setData. I need not rewrite value with the same key, but update it and add a new one, so the final object can look like this:



{
patients:
formValue: […],
filtersValue: {}
}


current realization:



const data = {}

setData(key, value) {
Object.assign(this.data[key] = {}, value);
}


setData(this.stateName, { firstItemsValue: this.itemsCopy });
setData(this.stateName, { secondItemsValue: this.itemsCopy });

The solution is:



setData(key, value) {
this.data[key] = { ...this.data[key], ...value };
}

  • In your case three dots are spread operator. In javascript three dots '...' have basically two meanings, 1. If used in function declaration it defines "rest prameters", please see following doxumentations: Functions Rest Parameters 2. In other cases it is interpreted as spread operator.

You have mentioned that you want to add as many values as youi call setData. That sounds like a job for array.



You could use follwoing code:



function setData(targetObj, propName, valueToAdd){

if(typeof targetObj[propName] === 'undefined'){
targetObj[propName] = ;
}
if(Array.isArray(targetObj[propName])){
targetObj[propName].push(valueToAdd);
}else{
console.log('property '+propName +' already exists and is not an array');
}
}

    Use like this:



    const data = {}

    setData(key, value) {
    Object.assign(data, {[key]: value});
    }


    BTW, You can simply set the data like:



    setData(key, value) {
    data[key] = value
    }

      Is there a reason for Object.assign over plain bracket notation? (also, key in your code will refer to the literal string key, not the variable)

    • If you don't need to merge objects, or create a new object or something like that, Object.assign seems really weird to use over just data[key] = value IMO

    What you're trying to do is to implement a HashMap or a Dictionary.



    I'd just do it like so:



    function setData(key, value) 
    {
    if (data[key])
    data[key].push(value)
    else
    data[key] = [ value ]
    }

      You have mentioned that you want to add as many values as youi call setData. That sounds like a job for array.



      You could use follwoing code:



      function setData(targetObj, propName, valueToAdd){

      if(typeof targetObj[propName] === 'undefined'){
      targetObj[propName] = ;
      }
      if(Array.isArray(targetObj[propName])){
      targetObj[propName].push(valueToAdd);
      }else{
      console.log('property '+propName +' already exists and is not an array');
      }

              • If you don't need to merge objects, or create a new object or something like that, Object.assign seems really weird to use over just data[key] = value IMO

              Use like this:



              const data = {}

              setData(key, value) {
              Object.assign(data, {[key]: value});
              }


              BTW, You can simply set the data like:



              setData(key, value) {
              data[key] = value
              }

              What you're trying to do is to implement a HashMap or a Dictionary.



              I'd just do it like so:



              function setData(key, value) 
              {
              if (data[key])
              data[key].push(value)
              else
              data[key] = [ value ]
              }
