Convert javascript array to string

Question

I\'m trying to iterate over a \"value\" list and convert it into a string. Here is the code:

var blkstr = $.each(value, function(idx2,val2) {                        


        

Answer 1

Converting From Array to String is So Easy !

var A = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday']
array = A + ""

That's it Now A is a string. :)

Answer 2

Shouldn't confuse Array's with Lists... This is a list: {...} and has no length, or other Array properties.

This is an Array: [...] and you can use array functions, methods and so, like someone suggested here: someArray.toString();

"someObj.toString();" just will not work on any other objects type, like Lists. ;-)

this's my function, convert object or array to json

function obj2json(_data){
    str = '{ ';
    first = true;
    $.each(_data, function(i, v) { 
        if(first != true)
            str += ",";
        else first = false;
        if ($.type(v)== 'object' )
            str += "'" + i + "':" + obj2arr(v) ;
        else if ($.type(v)== 'array')
            str += "'" + i + "':" + obj2arr(v) ;
        else{
            str +=  "'" + i + "':'" + v + "'";
        }
    });
    return str+= '}';
}

i just edit to v0.2 ^.^

 function obj2json(_data){
    str = (($.type(_data)== 'array')?'[ ': '{ ');
    first = true;
    $.each(_data, function(i, v) { 
        if(first != true)
            str += ",";
        else first = false;
        if ($.type(v)== 'object' )
            str += '"' + i + '":' + obj2json(v) ;
        else if ($.type(v)== 'array')
            str += '"' + i + '":' + obj2json(v) ;
        else{
            if($.type(_data)== 'array')
                str += '"' + v + '"';
            else
                str +=  '"' + i + '":"' + v + '"';
        }
    });
    return str+= (($.type(_data)== 'array')? ' ] ':' } ');;
}

var arr = new Array();

var blkstr = $.each([1, 2, 3], function(idx2,val2) {                    
    arr.push(idx2 + ":" + val2);
    return arr;
}).join(', ');

console.log(blkstr);

OR

var arr = new Array();

$.each([1, 2, 3], function(idx2,val2) {                    
    arr.push(idx2 + ":" + val2);

});

console.log(arr.join(', '));

Answer 5

If value is associative array, such code will work fine:

var value = { "aaa": "111", "bbb": "222", "ccc": "333" };
var blkstr = [];
$.each(value, function(idx2,val2) {                    
  var str = idx2 + ":" + val2;
  blkstr.push(str);
});
console.log(blkstr.join(", "));

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

(output will appear in the dev console)

As Felix mentioned, each() is just iterating the array, nothing more.

Answer 6

Here's an example using underscore functions.

var exampleArray = [{name: 'moe', age: 40}, {name: 'larry', age: 50}, {name: 'curly', age: 60}];
var finalArray = _.compact(_.pluck(exampleArray,"name")).join(",");

Final output would be "moe,larry,curly"
