jquery merge two objects

Question

How can I merge jquery objects together

I have

 {
  \"merchantcontract\":\"Ready Reserve Foods 10104.01\",
  \"merchantcontractid\":\"c4253769-5a57-e11         


        

Answer 1

If you want to update your existing object, use:

$.extend(obj1, obj2); //update obj1 and put all obj2 values in it.

$.extend will change the values of your existing object

To create a new third object that is the sum of both objects, you can use this function

function merger_objects(obj1,obj2){
  $.each(obj2, function(key, value) {
     obj1[key] = value;    
  });
 return obj1;
}

Example

var fruit = {apple:"sweet",graps:"bitter"}
var vege = {cucamber:"bitter",letuce:"bitter"}

var fruit_and_vege = merger_objects(fruit,vege); 
//returns {apple:"sweet",graps:"bitter",cucamber:"bitter",letuce:"bitter"}

Answer 2

can you put them in an array?

var myObjects = [];

and in your each where they are created just add:

myObjects.push(newObject);

Answer 3

jQuery's $.extend will do what you want.

//merging two objects into new object
var new_object = $.extend({}, object1, object2);

//merge object2 into object1
$.extend(object1, object2);

Answer 4

In case you wish to merge them recursively, $.extend offers the argument deep. In case deep=true the merge become recursively. An example above,

// Initialize two objects.
var json1 = { "a": { "a1": "value1", "a2": "value2" }};
var json2 = { "a": { "a3": "value3" }};

// Merge them recursively.
var newJson = $.extend(true, {}, json1, json2);

// Test it.
if (newJson.a.a1 && newJson.a.a3) {
    console.log("Success");
}

Answer 5

anObj={'propone':'1', 'proptwo':'2'};
anotherObj={'propel':'11', 'proptlv':'12'};
var opts = {};
$.extend(opts, anObj, anotherObj, { 
    bar: "baz",
    thing: "foo"
});
console.log(opts);
