Array : How to assign object in array

Question

for example i have a function like below

        var testName= "";
        testName= $('.test').map(function() {
                    // get text 
                       return $(this).text()
                      // get result as array
                }).get();

            var testResult= {
                name:testName,
            };


        console.log(testResult);

The result i can see from my code is

Which is not something i wanted.

I want to split those data and assign them one by one

"testResult": [
 {
   "name": "test1"
 },
 {
   "name": "Thug life"
 }
]

I tired to use for loop to handle those data but it doesn't help

for(var i; i < testName.length; i++){
                var testName= testName + [{
                    name:testName[i],
                }];
            }

do you think what you want is a valid ?

If you want them grouped in the result, return a group in your map.

var testResult = $('.test').map(function() {
    return {name: $(this).text()};
}).get();

console.log(testResult);

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div class="test">test1</div>
<div class="test">test2</div>
<div class="test">test3</div>

Or in your format:

var resultObject = {
    testResult: $('.test').map(function() {
        return {name: $(this).text()};
    }).get()
};

console.log(resultObject);

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div class="test">test1</div>
<div class="test">test2</div>
<div class="test">test3</div>

i think OP wants the format "testResult": [ { "name": "test1" }, { "name": "Thug life" } ]

Added that too @guradio

This is a great answer but can i return more than one field ? like "testResult": [ { "name": "test1", "num" : "01" }, { "name": "Thug life" , "num" : "02" } ]

eisbehr Over a year ago

Sure, just add more data into the object, returned in line return {name: $(this).text()};, like return {name: $(this).text(), foo: "bar"};. @anson920520

But i need to get those from a for loop? can i do .map() in .map()?
