Merge JSON Object with same “key” and add their “value” using JavaScript

Question

My JSON looks like this

{\"rows\":[
    {\"key\":[\"zeit.de\"],\"value\":98},
    {\"key\":[\"google.com\"],\"value\":49},
    {\"key\":[\"spiegel.de\"],\"value\         


        

Answer 1

Here's an alternate solution using ECMA-Script Array functions forEach, some and filter:

var data = {
  "rows": [{
    "key": ["zeit.de"],
    "value": 98
  }, {
    "key": ["google.com"],
    "value": 49
  }, {
    "key": ["spiegel.de"],
    "value": 20
  }, {
    "key": ["spiegel.de"],
    "value": 12
  }, {
    "key": ["spiegel.de"],
    "value": 20
  }, {
    "key": ["spiegel.de"],
    "value": 12
  }, {
    "key": ["netmng.com"],
    "value": 49
  }, {
    "key": ["zeit.de"],
    "value": 300
  }]
};

var merged = {
  rows: []
};

data.rows.forEach(function(sourceRow) {
  debugger;
  if(!merged.rows.some(function(row) { return row.key[0] == sourceRow.key[0]; })) {
    merged.rows.push({ key: [sourceRow.key[0]], value: sourceRow.value });
  } else {
    var targetRow = merged.rows.filter(function(targetRow) { return targetRow.key[0] == sourceRow.key[0] })[0];
    
    targetRow.value += sourceRow.value;
  }
});

document.getElementById("result").textContent = JSON.stringify(merged);
