Manipulate ajax response

I have a ajax post method. I get an object from the backend 

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: URL_one,
        data: submitData
}).then(function (response) {
       console.log("Ajax response", response);
   });

and when i do a console.log(response); inside the post method, i see the following data. 

>Object{Info:Array[200]}
      >Info:Array[200]
                >[0-99]  
                      >0:Object
                          name:'Ashley'
                          on_pay: true
                          valid:"0"
                >[100-199]

So each array has objects like one mentioned above with name, on_pay and valid. I want to do the following Since all on_pay values are true in my case, i need to convert it to false. Also valid has string of 0. I need to put all values as blank instead of 0.

Is it possible to do ?? Can someone please shed some light on these.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, response is an array of items. You want to keep those items intact, but turn the on_pay property false and valid to an empty string.

You can use Array::map() to transform each item.

/*jslint node:true*/

"use strict";

// I am assuming your response looks something like this
var response = {
    Info: [
        {
            name: "Ashley",
            on_pay: true,
            valid: "0"
        },
        {
            name: "Jim",
            on_pay: true,
            valid: "0"
        },
        {
            name: "John",
            on_pay: true,
            valid: "0"
        }
    ]
};

// This will produce a new variable that will hold the transformed Info array
var fixedResponseInfo = response.Info.map(function (item) {
    item.on_pay = false;
    item.valid = "";
    return item;
});

// This will edit the response.Info array in place
response.Info.forEach(function (item) {
    item.on_pay = false;
    item.valid = "";
});

console.log(fixedResponseInfo);
console.log(response);

This will keep your original response variable and produce a new variable fixedResponseInfo that contains the transformed array. If you don't care whether data in response is changed, you can use Array::forEach() to iterate instead.

Considering the JSON structure that you show, following should work to change the on_pay value:

response.Info.forEach(function(item){
    item.on_pay = false;
});
