Javascript push array inside object

Question

How do I create the data array from my second api call result into the format I want? I have a code like this

var github = require('octonode');
var client = github.client();
var userName = "octocat";
var repoName = "";
var branchName = "";
var data = [];
var branches = [];

client.get('/users/'+userName+'/repos', {}, function (err, status, body, headers) {
  body.forEach(function(obj) {
    repoName = obj.name;
    //==============================
      client.get('repos/'+userName+'/'+repoName+'/branches', {}, function (errx, statusx, bodyChild, headersx) {
      bodyChild.forEach(function(objChild) {
        branchName = objChild.name;
          });
      });
    });
});

I have received repoName and branchName data as well.

I want my data format like

How to use

data.push({
   name: repoName,
   branches: 'branchName loooping here for every repoName'
});

so branches repetition data can be contained in my branches tag

Thank you

You need to push into the inner array.

I guess you can do something like this:

var data = [];

client.get('/users/'+userName+'/repos', {}, function (err, status, body, headers) {
  body.forEach(function(obj) {
    repoName = obj.name;
    client.get('repos/'+userName+'/'+repoName+'/branches', {}, function (errx, statusx, bodyChild, headersx) {
        let elem = {"name": repoName, "branches": []}; //create json object for each repo 
        bodyChild.forEach(function(objChild) {
          elem.branches.push(objChild.name); //push all branchs to that elem
        });
        data.push(elem); // add the elem to the data array
      });
    });
});

Hi @David, when I try your code the result is empty when I check console.log(data);

So in this case data is an object, that has a property name which is string, and another property branches which is array. If you want to push data to the property branches you can just call the push() function on it.

Please check the example below:

    let data = {
        name: "repoName",
        branches: [
            {
                name: "foo"
            }
        ]
    }

    data.branches.push(
        {
            name: "bar"
        }
    );

    console.log(data);
