How to Create a JSON with a Child Object List in ReactJS

When working with APIs in ReactJS, one common task you might encounter is the need to send complex data structures, such as a JSON object containing a list of child objects. For example, you might have an order that includes customer details and a list of products being ordered. In this guide, we will explore how to create such a JSON structure, focusing specifically on the orderDetails child object.

The Problem

Imagine you have a JSON structure that needs to represent an order. Here’s an example of how that JSON might look:

To effectively create and send this JSON via an API, it is essential to properly format the list of orderDetails. Today, we will walk through creating a function to generate this child object and how to combine it with additional customer information.

The Solution

Step 1: Create a Function to Return List of Child Objects

First, you will need a function that transforms your array of products into the desired child object format. Here’s how you can achieve this.

Explanation:

prodList: This should be your array containing the products. Each product should have at least an id and a quantity.

forEach: We use this method to loop through each product in prodList.

Creating Child Object: For each product, we create a new object containing the id and amount.

Returning Array: After the loop, we return the constructed array of child objects.

Step 2: Construct the Complete JSON Object

Next, you will want to build the full JSON object that you will send to your API. Here’s how you can do it:

Explanation:

JSON.stringify: This function converts a JavaScript object into a JSON string suitable for sending in a POST request.

Field Mapping: You can directly map the form inputs (e.target.email.value, etc.) into your JSON structure.

toArr(): The function we wrote earlier is called here to populate the orderDetails field with the array of child objects.

Conclusion

Creating a JSON structure with child objects in ReactJS is a straightforward process once you break it down into manageable steps. By defining a function to construct your child object list and then neatly packaging it with other relevant data, you can efficiently prepare your data for API communication. This approach not only helps in organizing your code but also makes integration with backend services easier.
