Multiple table row name attribute to json array

Question

In express, when I do a post from a form:

<tr>
  <td><input type="text" name="name"></td>
  <td><input type="text" name="remarks"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><input type="text" name="name"></td>
  <td><input type="text" name="remarks"></td>
</tr>

var body = req.body;, body give me this:

{ name: [ 'Tel', 'Tel2' ], remarks ['test1','test2'] }

How can I get this in json array:

{debtor: [{name:'Tel', remarks:'test1'}, {name:'Tel2', remarks:'test2'} ]

If the remarks test1 is empty, I wont be able to know test2 is belong to row 1 or row2.

What is your current code?

Just transform the req.body object as you wish.

var body = [];
for(var n=0; n<req.body.name.length; n++){
  body.push({name : req.body.name[n], remarks : req.body.remarks[n]});
}

The problem is when the first row remarks might be empty, so from the code, it won't be able to identity the remarks is from first or second row.

make it an empty string on validation when the user doesn't fill the remarks.
