How to Extract Dynamic Object Values in an Object Array Using JavaScript

JavaScript is a powerful language for working with complex data structures, especially when it comes to objects. One common challenge developers face is extracting values from an array of objects dynamically, particularly when those values depend on a property that can change, such as a type property.

In this guide, we will explore a specific case where we need to extract results from an object array based on the type value. We will break down the solution step-by-step to help you understand how to implement this effectively in your own code.

Understanding the Problem

Suppose you have an object, which in our case is named ResultArray. This object contains:

A property called type, which can either be CategotyFirst or CategotySecond.

A nested object called gap, which also contains properties corresponding to the values of type.

Example Structure

Here is an example of what the ResultArray might look like:

Your goal is to extract the relevant values from the gap property based on the current type.

Solution

To extract the values dynamically, we will employ bracket notation for objects. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Identify the type

First, we need to store the current type value in a variable:

Step 2: Use Bracket Notation for Dynamic Access

Instead of trying to access the nested object using dot notation (which will not work in this scenario), you can use bracket notation to reference the property dynamically:

Full Example Code

Combining both steps into a complete example looks like this:

Conclusion

Dynamic object value extraction is a powerful feature of JavaScript that allows for more flexible coding practices. By using the bracket notation with a variable that holds the property name, you can easily access nested object properties without worrying about hardcoding their names. This approach will save you time, reduce errors, and improve the maintainability of your code.

By following these steps and adapting them to your specific data structure, you'll be able to extract values dynamically and effectively, regardless of changes in the type property.

Happy coding!
