Count nested object numbers

const json = [{
  "order": 1111,
  "items": [
    {
      "colour1": "red",
      "colour2": "yellow",
    },
    {
      "colour1": "red",
      "colour2": "red",
    },
    {
      "colour1": "red",
      "colour2": "red",
    }
  ]
},
{
  "order": 2222,
  "items": [
    {
      "colour1": "black",
      "colour2": "blue",
      "colour3": "orange"
    },
    {
      "colour1": "white",
      "colour2": "red",
      "colour3": "green",
      
    }
  ]
}]

Object.entries(json).forEach(([i, v]) => {
    let count = [];
    Object.entries(v.items).forEach(([j, k]) => {
        if (k.colour2.includes('red')) {
            count.push(k.colour2)
        }
    });
    console.log(count, count.length) //length = [2, 1]
});

I feel like this code I wrote isn't an efficient way to filter and count length. The goal is to filter a certain value and get the result. Looking for an alternative way and proper es6 way to do it. Thanks

There will be multiple approaches to this problem but if you are only interested in getting occurrences of "colour2": "red". You can use something like this also.

 let json = [{"order":1111,"items":[{"colour1":"red","colour2":"yellow"},{"colour1":"red","colour2":"red"},{"colour1":"red","colour2":"red"}]},{"order":2222,"items":[{"colour1":"black","colour2":"blue","colour3":"orange"},{"colour1":"white","colour2":"red","colour3":"green"}]}]
   let count=[];
    for(let i of json){
    count.push(JSON.stringify(i).match(/"colour2":"red"/g).length)
    }
console.log(count);

Using reduce()

const json = [{"order":1111,"items":[{"colour1":"red","colour2":"yellow"},{"colour1":"red","colour2":"red"},{"colour1":"red","colour2":"red"}]},{"order":2222,"items":[{"colour1":"black","colour2":"blue","colour3":"orange"},{"colour1":"white","colour2":"red","colour3":"green"}]}]

const res = json.reduce((acc, order) => {
  let red = order.items.filter(color => color.colour2 === 'red')
  return red.length ? [...acc, red.length] : acc
}, [])

console.log(res)

Note: To get a filtered result instead of count return [...acc, red]

Maybe not the best efficiency here, but it is understandable code:

let count = [];
json.forEach((order, index) => {
  count[index] = [];
  order.items.forEach((item) => {
    if (item.colour2 === "red") {
      count[index].push(item.colour2);
    }
  });
});
console.log(count);
