Add property to each object in the array

Question

I\'m trying to add a property to each object in the array:

var capitals = [{
    country: \"What\'s the capital of Ecuador?\",
    choices: [\"Quito\", \"Caracas         


        

Answer 1

You have to use forEach at this context,

capitals.forEach(function(itm){
 itm.global = true;
});

If you are not familiar with the usage of forEach, then you can do the same job by using a for loop.

for(var i=0,len=capitals.length;i<len;i++){
  capitals[i].global = true;
}

Answer 2

var capitals = [{
    country: "What's the capital of Ecuador?",
    choices: ["Quito", "Caracas", "Panama", "Loja"],
    corAnswer: 0
}, {
    country: "What is the capital of China?",
    choices: ["Shanghai", "Beijing", "Ghangzou", "Hong Kong"],
    corAnswer: 0
}];
for(i in capitals) {
  capitals[i].global = true;
}
console.log(capitals)

If you do not have to support legacy browsers, then you could use Array.prototype.map
