javascript array push issue

Question

I have the below object:

Configs = {};
Configs['category'] = [];
Configs['category']['prod1'] = [];
Configs['category']['prod1'].hosts ={
  'table': {
    'count': 'total_remaining',
    'specs': [
      {
        'name': 'Test 1',
        'code': 'BrandName.Cat.Code.[X].Price'
      }
    ]
  }
};

I am trying to create an array of elements to be requested from the database using the code below:

var data = Configs["category"]["prod1"].hosts.table;
var count = [data.count];
var names = data.specs;
var namesArray = names.map(function(names) {
  var str = names['code'];
  var requiredPortion = str.split("[X]");
  var newStr = requiredPortion[0];
      return newStr;
  });
requestData = namesArray.reduce(function(a,b){if(a.indexOf(b)<0)a.push(b);return a;},[]); //remove duplicates
requestData.push(count);
console.log(count);
console.log(requestData);

The desired output is:

["BrandName.Cat.Code.", "total_remaining"]

But, when executing my code I am getting the following output:

["BrandName.Cat.Code.", Array[1]]

I am attaching a fiddle link for this. I guess the issue is with array push function usage. Please help.

Your fiddle link seems to be working

You just have to remove the square bracket outside the count variable initialization. Try:

var count = data.count;

Instead of:

var count = [data.count];

Fiddle updated.

Replace var count = [data.count]; with count = Object.keys(data).length

Maybe this helps.

why should I do that?

Sandeep Sharma Over a year ago

It may be another alternative because I tried with node.js' console, there var count = Object.keys(data).length works but var count = data.count; does not work.

Sorry my naming was confusing. I don't want to take the count. Just needed that array.

Thanks for the reply, I figured it out.
