how to loop over array of objects and get values

Please read fully. Do not mark it duplicate until you really find it. I have an array of objects like below.

const filterParams = [
      { 'waterfront_type[]': 'Cove' },
      { 'area[]': 'Applehead Island' },
      { 'waterfront_type[]': 'Channel' },
      { 'waterfront_type[]': 'Open Water' },
      { baths: '0 - 14' },
      { price: '0.00 - 9,876,100.00' }
    ];

I need to loop over this and add this to form data. I'm doing like below.

filterParams.map(param => {
      return formData.append(param.key, param.value);
    });

Expected: param.key is waterfront_type[] and param.value is Cove. so internally it should be formData.append('waterfront_type[]', 'Cove');

Getting: both undefined. formData.append(undefined, undefined);

You can use Object.entries(), and array destructuring to get the key, and the value.

Note: the default = [] handles the case of empty objects.

filterParams.map(param => {
  const [[key, value] = []] = Object.entries(param);
  return formData.append(key, value);
});

If you just need to call formData(key, value), and you don't care about the returned values (if any), use Array.forEach() instead of Array.map():

filterParams.forEach(param => {
  const [[key, value] = []] = Object.entries(param);
  formData.append(key, value);
});

you can use javascript filters

 filterParams = filterParams.filter(function(itm){
   Object.keys(itm).forEach(function(key, value){
     return formData.append(key, value);
   })
 })

So you want to put all dictionary entrySet into a FormData:

filterParams.forEach(param => {
    Object.keys(param).forEach(function(key) {
         let value = param[key];
         formData.append(key, value);
    });      
});

It will produce the output of:

["waterfront_type%5B%5D=Cove",
 "area%5B%5D=Applehead%20Island",
 "waterfront_type%5B%5D=Channel",
 "waterfront_type%5B%5D=Open%20Water",
 "baths=0%20-%2014",
 "price=0.00%20-%209%2C876%2C100.00"]

param variable passed to .map function is a javascript object and you cannot access its keys by using just object.key. Instead do:

filterParams.map(param => {
   var keys = Object.keys(param);
   return formData.append(keys[0], param[keys[0]]);
});

Here, we are getting all the keys of the param object and get the first (0th index) as the key you require (assuming that your array have objects with one key).
