Remove String from JSON

rated 0 times [ 43] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 6787 / 10 Years ago, thu, march 13, 2014, 12:00:00

I want to feed a dijit.form.Select (Dojo Select-Box) with a Data-Store (JsonRest). The Problem is, that the JSON-Parser only accepts JSON in this format:

[

  {id:1, name:One1},

  {id:2, name:Two1}

];

The REST-API of the webapplication we want to call delivers the following JSON:

{

  data: [

      {id:1, name:One1},

      {id:2, name:Two1}

],

    total: 2,

    start: 0,

    sort: name,

    order: asc,

     size: 2

};

That is why the Select Box does not show any data. Therefore, we need to remove the {data: part and the last part of the JSON message bevore passing it to the Dojo Select Box.

The Data is stored in a JsonRest Object. So the question is how we can remove the first and the last part of the JSON in a way that simply this here is given to the Select-Box:

[

  {id:1, name:One1},

  {id:2, name:Two1}

];

Thank you for your answers and best regards
Ben

Create a new Array variable from the data for the dojo select seems simplest ...

var restapidataObj = {

  data: [

      {id:1, name:One1},

      {id:2, name:Two1}

    ],

    total: 2,

    start: 0,

    sort: name,

    order: asc,

     size: 2

};



var dojoSelectArray = restapidataObj.data;

Now pass dojoSelectArray to dojo
