How to Get Values from an Array of Objects Using Another Array - JavaScript Guide

When working with arrays in JavaScript, you may often find yourself needing to extract specific values from one array based on the contents of another. This is a common scenario when dealing with data sets, such as filtering options in a dropdown based on selected values. In this guide, we'll explore how to accomplish this using two arrays: one containing objects (like books) and the other containing selected values.

The Problem

Suppose we have two arrays:

An array of objects representing details of various books.

An array of values that we want to use to filter the first array.

Here is an example of the array of books:

And an example of the selected values represented as a string:

We want to retrieve the book objects corresponding to the values in the idString.

The Initial Attempt

In an initial attempt to achieve this, you might use nested loops like this:

However, this code isn't working as expected. The result returned is an array of undefined values instead of the book objects you want.

The Solution

To effectively get the values from the books array based on the idString, we can simplify our code. Here are two methods to achieve this:

Method 1: Using map and find

This method is suitable if you want to maintain the order of the selected values:

Method 2: Using filter

If you do not need to maintain order or if the values are not unique, this method works well:

Both solutions will give you the expected result:

Performance Considerations

It’s important to note that both methods have a time complexity of O(n*m), where n is the number of IDs and m is the number of books. This means they may not be efficient for large datasets. However, they are quite practical for smaller sets of data.

Conclusion

In this guide, we examined how to filter an array of objects using another array's values in JavaScript. Using either the map and find method or the filter method, you can efficiently retrieve the desired objects based on specific criteria. Feel free to adapt the provided code snippets in your own projects to simplify data filtering tasks.
