How to access nested object array Javascript

I know this has been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer. I just want to know how to access the values in service_name array in a console.log

Below is the array and just a snip out of the data.

var a = [{"ID":102254,"Name":"obj 1","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":226619,"Name":"DIDE","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":224522,"Name":"CAT","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":122533,"Name":"Mirror","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]}]


console.log(JSON.stringify(a, 0, 4))

Try this one : 

  var a = [{"ID":102254,"Name":"obj 1","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":226619,"Name":"DIDE","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":224522,"Name":"CAT","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":122533,"Name":"Mirror","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]}]

 a.forEach(function(item){ // item is an object
     item.service_name.forEach(function(service){ //item.service_name is  an array
     console.log(service);
     });
 });

Good luck

You can create a function to return the service names array of the element whose ID matches the id you are looking for like so: 

function getServiceNamesById (data, id) {
  for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    if (data[i].ID === id) {
      return data[i].service_name;
    }
  }
  return [];
}

var a = [{"ID":102254,"Name":"obj 1","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":226619,"Name":"DIDE","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":224522,"Name":"CAT","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":122533,"Name":"Mirror","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]}];

var id = 226619;

console.log(getServiceNamesById(a, id));

Just do:

var a = [{"ID":102254,"Name":"obj 1","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":226619,"Name":"DIDE","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":224522,"Name":"CAT","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":122533,"Name":"Mirror","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]}]
a.forEach((e)=>console.log(e.service_name));

if you need a result array:

var a = [{"ID":102254,"Name":"obj 1","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":226619,"Name":"DIDE","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":224522,"Name":"CAT","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":122533,"Name":"Mirror","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]}]
var res = a.map((e)=>e.service_name);
console.log(res);

you can access it like an array, this is how you would access the service_name values in the 4th item in the array

var a = [{"ID":102254,"Name":"obj 1","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":226619,"Name":"DIDE","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":224522,"Name":"CAT","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]},{"ID":122533,"Name":"Mirror","service_name":["Open  Ticket","Escalation Ticket"]}]


console.log(JSON.stringify(a[3].service_name[0]))
console.log(JSON.stringify(a[3].service_name[1]))

a.forEach(function(element) {
  console.log(element.service_name);
});
