I am querying my db in node and have got the result in the form of an object like this - [ [1234] ].
I want to extract this value and convert it into a string and then pass it onto the client side. I have written the other required code but I am not able to get value from this object. Can anyone help me in getting the value and converting it to string?
Since, the result you've got is a two-dimensional array, you can get the value and convert it into a string (using toString() method) in the following way ...
var result = [ [1234] ];
var string;
result.forEach(function(e) {
string = e.toString();
});
console.log(string);** this solution will also work if you have multiple results, ie. [ [1234], [5678] ]
You have a nested array, meaning that you have an array inside another array:
[ [1234] ]
// ^-^====^-^
To get the first value of the parent array, use the square brackets: [0]. Remember that indexes start at 0!
If you have val = [[1234]], val[0] gets the enclosed array: [1234]. Then, 1234 is a value in that array (the first value), so you use the square brackets again to get it: val[0][0].
To convert to string, you can use + "" which forces the number to become a string, or the toString() method.
var val = [[1234]];
var str = val[0][0] + "";
// or val[0][0].toString();
console.log(str, typeof str);You can read more about arrays here.
var response = [ [1234] ];
console.log(response[0][0]);to extract values from a string array or an array we can use .toString()
Ex:
let names = ["peter","joe","harry"];
let fname = names.toString();
output = peter ,joe,harry
or
let name:string[] = this.customerContacts.map(
res => res.firstname
let fname =name.toString();
Using De-structuring Array concept:
const arr = [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]];
const [[p, q, r, s, t]] = arr;
console.log(p, q, r, s, t);
Output: 1 2 3 4 5
{}, what you have is an array[]. And it's only element is another array, that again has only one element, a number. so whatever variable you put the result in, let's sayfoo. You'd just dofoo[0][0]and you are done
